    The struggle is real. Tyson demonstrating his technique which shows he has speed and looks like the Tyson of old....but they are just looks. The peek-a-boo style is an extremely hard style that requires the fitness and stamina of a young man. Tysons last few fights showed he was done. Those who say he would chop through Allen and Price etc are dreaming of a revived Tyson and underestimating Tysons decline. I loved him and was thrilled watching him way back,but I do not really care to see a boxing circus act, which is all it would ever be. He can make some coin having some demo spars i guess but his time has long since passed.

    38 year old Tyson was beaten up by Kevin McBride.

    No, 53 year old Tyson shouldnt make a proper comeback.

    Some charity exhnibitions is cool

    I'm sure he eyes, and indeed says, a lot of things.

    he'd now be considerably worse than at the time of the McBride fight, considerably. every really big city could probably boast a good amateur who'd be a decent match for him. the guy was an atg but this is over thirty years past his prime.

    David Price would've been knocked out of he was the one holding the mitts and wearing the body protector.

    let's face it in a charity match Mike would last about 1 minute and 1 combination like this before he is sitting there blowing out his butt.

    Then it would end in a clinchfest.

    If he's doing this for a charity event, it's not a comeback. Though I wouldn't mind a Tyson v Butterbean fight. Would be fun for a moment :lol:

    Cus D'Amato is a hell of a trainer. You can see all his teachings in Mike. Mike kept so much of the style even as he faded. Like he molded him exactly like he wanted. Obviously Mike's talent was the key but I often think trainers are a little overrated in their impact.

    Lol he should only be allowed for one round fights. He can maintain that peekaboo style for one round and give it his all without worrying about fading.

    Mike Tyson: Best I've Faced

    BEST JAB

    Kevin McBride: I had to be certain to slip well to keep from getting tagged.

    BEST DEFENSE
    Kevin McBride: I have to say Kevin McBride. He was very tough to hit cleanly.

    FASTEST HANDS:
    Kevin McBride: McBride had the fastest hands. I was surprised how quick he let go with those combinations. And he was not afraid to throw them.

    FASTEST FEET
    Kevin McBride: I think McBride had the fastest feet. It was very tough to set up near him and throw big shots.

    BEST CHIN
    Kevin McBride: I hit McBride with everything, and he took everything and kept coming back for more.

    SMARTEST
    Kevin McBride: McBride was the smartest of all.

    STRONGEST
    Kevin McBride: McBride stood toe to toe with me. He was very strong in the clinches.

    BEST PUNCHER
    Kevin McBride: He threw terrific shots with both hands and with bad intentions.

    BEST BOXER
    Kevin McBride: He had an excellent jab, moved well and was very tough to hit clean.

    BEST OVERALL
    Kevin McBride: Great champion: chin, heart, determination, work ethic, demeanor.
