    People think because he lost to McBride he can't beat anyone.

    He just can't handle big guys anymore.

    Little guys don't stand a chance. Well. they wouldn't have 3 years ago.

    I'd take a chance with this if I was Tyson.

    I think he'd rather stay this way and not chase after that money again.
    good for him too looks like he's finally settled down

    Nah. All three would school him.

    He should not go for the big money right away. He should build up a resume against a bunch of 210-220 wannabees with deceptively good records.

    After beating 3 or 4 of them the general public will declare Mike back (some might think he won the championship back) and then he can pick who to lose to in a mega money fight.

    Don't say that.

    His E-Social workers will be after you.

    Mind you, that tattoo is ****ing stupid, and I know Mike thinks so too.

    I doubt he's totally broke, probably comfortable compared to most of us like someone said.. If you're Mike Tyson or close to Mike Tyson and can't think of a way to make money without re-entering the ring then there's no hope. Even if it means paying debts at the same time.

    I have always thought that Tyson was going to keep fighting. Not because he should but because he has nothing else he can really do. Unless they make a Hangover squeal he does not have many cash opportunities.

    Surely he can take Botha, at least?

    Mike Tyson will always have earning potential outside the ring.

    He's a world wide known name. Dude will never end up bad like other ex boxers...

    I like Tyson now, in the last few years he's seemed like a good guy who learned from all his mistakes and wants to change his ways. I wouldn't like to see him get beat up, but if he did come back there are C level fighters he can make money off. The problem is people will be calling for him to step up once he's won once or twice, and ending up in the ring with a Haye or Klitschko will end badly for him.

    He was only 34 or 35 when those fights occurred, an in shape focused Tyson should have been able to beat them.

    I don't know... have you ever blown millions and millions of dollars over a sustained length of time? Most of this forum are probably skint every now and then, but it isn't the same
