    Tyson himself did not believe that "talent" existed. It was all the result of hard work and drills. No one is born with it. Some people have a natural aptitude for things and some do not, despite having the same exposure to it.

    What Tyson is showing here is his muscle memory. He can do this in small little bursts and look amazing (probably can still KO 99% of people out there too) but he would gas out after 30 seconds.

    His lungs are filled with THC these days too :lol:

    He was losing to Kevin Mcbride 15 years ago.

    What makes you think he "smashes up" any of the names you mentioned?

    Mike Tyson might still look good in a 10 second clip, but the 53 year old sits around smoking all day and is hardly in good shape. Truth be told, he looks unhealthy and terrible.

    I've long thought an over 50s belt would be a good idea. Three rounders only.

    Reality check. All of them would destroy him

    Stunning shape but I doubt he can go beyond 5 rounds

    As long as he stays away of top 200 heavyweights he should be ok

    You forget that sometimes a fight can last only one round

    This is a bad idea. He got humiliated three times this century, why push his luck?

    He'll be fine and probably have a great time if he sticks to exhibitions. If he goes pro...ouch.

    But, even if he gets embarrassed bad a couple of times, there's no changing the fact that Mike was pretty damn awesome in the late 80s. No doubt there.

    Granted that with Tyson power and explosiveness he has some kinda change to pull upset. Would bet against it thought. Him losing TKO second third of fourth round is probably what will happen against anyone in top 200

    To those who don't know boxing, Tyson looks great here.

    Many ex fighters look fantastic still on mitts and bags. Some can probably even spar and look the part.

    It counts though before the real fight. Waiting out there before being called out with nothing but your nerves and thoughts.

    Fighters have it, then it is gone.

    Tyson lost it a very long time ago.

    53 years old shouldn't be getting hit properly in boxing rings.

    Also in his prime of course he would have beat Deontay Wilder.

    However anyone who thinks Tyson right now at 53 could beat Wilder right now doesn't have a clue.

    Wilder would get smashed ,he can’t even react to jabs well let alone a swarming two fisted puncher that would only need 2 rounds to take Wilder out ,so those claiming he is to old don’t know just how susceptible Wilder is to someone like that ,even in a long fight Wilders chin is getting hit at some point then it’s over, Kevin McBride is not even relevant either ,give Tyson that Wilder fight you would see Mike of old days ,people don’t know.
