    Question is who will he fight. The most likely options are

    1) Evander Holyfield
    2) Shannon Briggs
    3) Buster Douglas

    I personally think it will be the Holyfield fight and I will be watching but I'm not sure that it is a good fight for Mike, not just yet anyway. Holyfield still looks in very good nick.

    I think Buster Douglas would be the best bet. If he beats him it erases a big blemish.

    Other possibilities Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe and Glen McCrory.

    I actually think Mike might beat Lewis at this point he looks fat and old.

    Briggs would be good,
    I think Douglas been out the game too long, I can't see him getting in shape, at least Briggs would come in shape and be looking to throw hands

    I think Briggs as past it as he is might be a bit to fresh for Tyson. Could be wrong. I can see one of his matches livening up and it getting serious. If it’s Holy, they’ll need a strong ref

    It probably depends on who needs money the most right now.

    Whoever Tyson picks is all lucky man. The money involved is more than some of their career high purses

    I'm still enjoying watching Mike fight. Personally I would rather see Mike take on someone else before Holyfield.

    Can I just ask if Mike manages to beat Holyfield does anyone think this enhances his legacy. I personally think it does!

    I agree that we don't need any of this in terms of the value of the fight as such. But as some featured event on an undercard to heat up the atmosphere, why not. The opening fight of AJ-Fury undercard with Mike Tyson or so would be fun.

    Would like to see a third Holyfield fight. The thing i would love to see is the judges scoring these upcoming bouts, even if these fights are just "soft sparring" with hugs and tickles.
    I just don't want it to be another pre-planned draw.

    I’m not sure it does mate, enhance the legacy that is. I think it’s a great idea them doing this, the lucky *******s are gonna be set for life in one fight. I’d actually think it would be wrong them not being able to cream it in, they are willing, they want to do it, I’d rather see Fury dismantle Joshua though mate ;)

    I don’t think Bowe is a good idea though, I know he needs the money as well, he is to far gone though mate

    I absolutely can not understand that someone has interest in watching this, Boxing has taken it’s toll on Tyson Holyfield and Douglas in such a extreme way that even low class amateurs in their mid-20s would beat them brutally.
    It’s just the way it is the old ones fade away in time and the new generation takes over I don’t see any point in marveling in the past
