    Okay so a little bit of traction about Tyson v Holyfield 3 - 4 rounders. I will have zero issues with this and unlike the virtual signalers, I will be watching this.

    I'd also like to see other 4 round fights like

    Lewis vs Vitali
    Eubanks v Benn
    Nassem Hamed vs Barrera - okay kidding should be Naz vs any old HW lol

    Who would you like to see in a 4 rounder

    I have never liked these things. Whether they were exhibitions like Pep and Saddler where they just danced around, or when they were Holmes vs. Bonecrusher when they were both 50 and it was for real, it's just embarrassing.

    Tyson's exhibition with Corey Sanders years ago was awkward. Tyson was fat. Sanders had one eye. It was a mess. Holyfield boxed Mitt Romney a couple years ago. That was sad.

    During the buildup, the fighters get excited. Once the lights hit them, though, everyone involved seems to realize this is kind of sad.

    If Tyson got in shape and the WBA let him fight one of their champs like Bryan or Charr, neither of whom matter and aren't big threats, in a real 12-round fight, I'd watch.Tyson might win (because they are bad). If he didn't, it would get Bryan and Charr actually in the ring again.

    Otherwise, I'll pass. Exhibitions don't really interest me. Never have.

    Hamed vs Hatton at HW would be nice. Combined weight would probably be bigger than in Vitali vs Lewis rematch
