    Tyson doesn't need it.

    9 years out of retirement....and being a SMALL heavyweight with now bad knees?, and no longer the speed of foot or power he once had?

    Don't bank on it.

    Tyson's body is broken down now, its what let him down in his last two fights, added to the fact he no longer has that mindset. i'd seriously worry if Mike came back, would literally hate to see it.

    You started the name calling with your very first response to me.
    If a fighter is knocking everybody out quickly, yet goes the distance with larger heavyweights and suffers their first loss against one, they obviously have a harder time with larger heavyweights. There is no way you can dispute that. I also showed that Tyson clearlu ducked Foreman, which you have no response for after claiming I didn't know **** by saying so. Team Tyson also paid Lewis step aside money rather than fight him. You did NOT prove that Mike didn't struggle with the larger heavyweights. You can't because the evidence clearly shows that he did. If I'm ******ed because I'm right and your wrong, then I guess I'll have to live with that.

    Tyson actually feasts on taller/bigger heavyweight. He destroyed pretty big heavyweight easily early on (pre-berbick), only went the distance with tillis and green, which he had no major problems with.

    On championship level, he got hugged by smiths, went the distance with tucker but that doesnt mean he struggled, he beat him on cards comfortably.. cant ****ing KO everyone in 1 round..... and slapped razor silly.

    So my point is that he done really well vs big oppenents. Post prison tyson is a different story because the reason for his success agaisnt taller fighters was his FOOT SPEED. He lost it after prison just like ali did. Couldnt close the distance as he used to and got lazy in clinches.

    Anything to put Money on both fighters pockets - Mike and Evander - but Tyson has to go to the gym and work.

    About foreman and lewis, there are threads on thos before, tyson had sent 3 contracts at different occasions and foreman turned him down, foreman is on video admitting don king had sent him a contract to sign to fight tyson but formeman said he was having none of it, as he didnt want to sign with king. There was no ducking there, foreman was a bit of a side show at that point.
    And lewis was offered 13.5 million to fight tyson (his largest ever payday to that point) and turned it down because he wanted more, but at this point he was struggling with the likes of ray mercer and getting knocked out by mccall.
    4 milion was paid to lewis to cover legal cost ect to step aside side tyson could go ahead and fight seldom for the wba strap and a 30 million payday.
    All in all i dont belive anyone was ducking it was more buisiness and what made more sense.

    Tyson would easily knock out all of Wilder's bums, so yes, perhaps he should............

    A rematch with Kevin McBride would be good.
