    he goes strong for the first two rounds and his age starts catching up and he begins to exhaust and get tired. The first hard crack drops him as he forgot what its like to take a hard shot. He realizes he has already a cushy lifestyle and a mansion to go home to and he just made more than 30 million off a ridiculous fight. So he calls it quits by the 3rd round on the ropes and just lets the ref count him out.

    Tyson in 2005: "I am not going to fight again. I'm not going to disrespect the sport any more by losing to this calibre of fighter. I don't have it anymore. I don't have the fighting guts any more. I haven't loved fighting since 1990."

    Tyson in 2020: "I'm back, baby"

    Pumped full of drugs (Miller style), he might have a very slight chance if not caught. But if he tries a real comeback clean, he'll end up like Razor Ruddock did pretty damn fast.

    Tyson's style heavily depends on youth. Sorry but its something that is long gone for him. He would lose to Otto Wallin in 3 rounds.

    With some lucky shots he might be able to take out a few of the glass-jawed nobodies in the division, but he's not gonna be a serious contender.

    Hey Guys! Iron Mike is not making a comeback. I know that we are all starved for meaningful boxing, but you will never see Mike Tyson in a sanctioned boxing match ever again. it is absolute unreal what a few marketing videos can do to an online forum, incredible really what he has been able to do to raise his profile recently.

    Tyson can still win fights like danny williams is still winning fights against winless croatian cruiserweights but would get hammered by pretty much anyone else

    I saw a 38 year old Tyson get beat up by KEVIN MCBRIDE!

    54 year old Tyson, even on the juice gets beaten by everyone in the top 50, possibly top 100.

    This comeback... if you will, only makes since if he fights against guys his age. People will tune-in for one no-hoper, not several and the match up that makes the most sense is Holyfield.

    Not sure what people are expecting Tyson to do against the cream of the division who are in their primes.

    To be honest, I just see it as excellent advertising for HGH, TRT, EPO, Stem Cell Replacement therapy for middle aged men.

    If I live to that age and my ish doesn't work anymore, 10000% I am going to start juicing.
