    I dont believe this **** for a second. ....

    Iron Mike Tyson, 50-6, 44 KO’s, has been out of the ring since an embarrassing sixth round TKO loss to Kevin McBride in 2005. Prior to that defeat, he was stopped by Danny Williams and a couple fights before that, he was demolished by Lennox Lewis. Times have changed, however, and Iron Mike is coming back to the sport that he helped flourish when he was mopping the floors with heavyweights in the 1980s and 90s.
    According to a source close to Tyson, former Promoter Don King has a tentative deal for Tyson to return to the ring in late 2010. The initial plan is to have Tyson-Holyfield III, but there is rumored hesitation on the part of Iron Mike, and there is a plan B.
    A Connecticut heavyweight named Tony Grano, former cruiserweight champ, Jean Marc Mormeck, Vinny Maddalone, and Derric Rossy have all been mentioned as potential first or second comeback opponents for Tyson.

    If he's gonna engage in a comdey routine by coming back, it may as well be in a "special boxing match" against someone like TripleH. Dead serious it'd be better than some legit, **** boxer.

    I can imagine that Don king needs this in order to mount his comeback... Either way he needs the money and what toher way will he make it.

    That dude who got arrested for assaulting some young girl at King's mansion said he was there for Tyson's comeback. Tyson circus all over again. Heard Maskaev is gonna fight in May in Russia, too. Ridiculous. I doubt Tyson comes back. If he does, it will be as exhibitions.

    Of course he's not.
    But the rumours persist. Even down to naming dates and opponents !

    That website also covers pro-wrestling, and has reviews of Twilight Zone episodes from 1959 on the front page.

    Glad you see it too. The last few times I saw him on tv etc he actually looked reasonably at peace/content with himself/life in general; more than I ever seen before; he just doesn't look like he wants to fight anymore.

    Mike Tyson to die in the ring against either Klitschko. But hey, I'd pay to see it!

    He's denied it many times. Plus, he is like 42 yo for crying out loud.

    The comeback was brought up on another website around 7 months ago but nothing surfaced from it. Its either a publicity wheel in motion or its complete bull, i guess in another 7 months time we will soon see. Something that is intresting is the fact he has lost around 40LB but this could be due to the depession medication they have him on or he really could be back in training? I think if it was the 2nd of the two then we would have Photos and a press confrence or something a bit more solid than these websites trying to get hits off speculation type stories.

    Whos the source close to Tyson? I read another article and the story was very similar to the rinsider report, it was an article on dance with stars version and mentions how his lost all this weight and who his possible opponents could be IF he decided to come back, seems a bit suss to me.
