MIKE TYSON: Comeback of a legend at 54 | Opinion Poll

Mike could barely go strong for 2 rounds in 2005....

 

I think he,ll look great tbh and should make a sensible comeback. In comparison to guys like toney and holyfield...hes relatively fresh. Had a long enough break from it unlike the two mentioned.

Hes obviously older....wont or cant beat anyone relevant but outside of that i bet he,ll look sensational for his age. Seen a lot of people saying they all look good on pads etc...but tbf mike looks sensational on them pads for his age....the skills still there. Skill he was neglecting when he fought mcbride etc. Training regime was also neglected and his life was a wreck.

Fast forward to now...seems to be training hard...got his weight sorted. Life appears to have calmed down etc. That makes a massive difference. Ageing will have eroded him but i bet he,ll actually be better at some things. Wouldnt surprise me if his staminas better. His skills better than he was using back then. He,ll have lost speed and strength from then....but tbf he was always exceptionally fast and strong anyway.

I do think its only possible because hes on something but putting that to one side for one minute wouldnt surprise me if people actually thought tyson had a chance once he blows over a couple of stiffs. He wont tho...because even with drugs you cant turn back time.

They should stick him in with small heavys...he,ll smash most of them. Its the big guys he,ll struggle badly with even the poor ones

 

Please. Some of the guys in the top 100 would get sparked by Tyson.

 

First the promoter will feed Tyson with bums or old fighters who are seeking a big money like him. After Tyson knocks out those bums then he'll meet the elite fighter soon and Tyson will get KTFO. That's the end of the story. I hate to see this type of business in boxing. The State Commission should not allow this to happen. It's so B.S.!!!

 

Such as?

Like I said, this is the same guy who was beaten top by Kevin McBride in 2005.

15 years of age, hamburgers and cociane arent going to have made him better.

 

Oh dear !

 

Man, I hope for Tyson's sake that its not a case of him really needing the money. It wouldn't go well.

 

Leave it alone Mike, please.

 

yeah if im not competing in any sanctioned sport at that age that disallows it,i cant see why not. Good idea.

 

Power is the last thing to go. Unfortunately reflexes is the first thing to go.

 

Two bangs & the show is over.

Age matters, especially when you're 40+. That's when on any given night you can get in a train wreck you didn't see coming. The reflexes off by a second is all it takes

Try to be more intellectual as the years go on. The human body becomes more fragile. Too much pride will kill you

 

Power? Say an elite old weightlifter ! The muscle quality can change easily.

 

Tyson must be thrilled at the amount of attention he’s getting over this

with the virus still running rampant, I don’t think they will be doing anything right away


but I bet they’re still uncertain how they’re going to handle this “comeback” because the demand is more than they expected

 

There was a dude on Boxrec who was like 34, from Colombia and he was 6’. Not a stellar record and was very small for HW. Tyson could blast a dude like that. He was ranked in the 70’s.

 

Disagree.

Heavily.
