This fight is a farce, very bad for boxing... Much worse even than Ottke-Michalczewski... I can understand Mike Tyson for wanting this fight, he got nothing to lose and he really needs some cash. As for Holyfield... if he really takes this fight he will lose a lot of my respect for him. He said he's just in it for the money, while he don't need it, he's selling himself like a *****, this fight is nonsense, why would he fight Tyson again after already beating him in one of his biggest wins and after what happened in the rematch. Holyfield don't respect himself if he takes this fight. What if Tyson knocks him out - not probable, but not impossible, you never know, anything can happen. I actually hope for Tyson to win this fight if it happens, just for making Holyfield pay for taking it That said, my guess is Holyfield KO3 Tyson
Tyson could have won his tune-up fights if his handlers had chosen better opponents for him. I mean, Williams was 270 pounds and McBride was 6'6" and 270. Tyson is a 'small Heavy" these days and so a tune up with guys like the type Morrison or Tua or Mesi fights would be fine...
your probably right. i dont care much for the fight but it if it wasnt ppv, which i cant imagine this fight being on ppv, id def watch it.
The sad thing is , that if the fight does go ahead, it will generate a lot of media interest and the winner will probably get a title shot.
Its not THAT bad.theyre both shot,so its unlikely either one will get badly hurt(i know that doesnt seem to make sense,but you know what i mean) It may degrade them,but so what? Think of it as a 'fun fight'
why not have a rematch between Ali and Foreman too? There's a lot of cash in that fight too, and it's good for boxing since it will get alot of attention from the medias and general public C'mon Don King make it happen!
Tyson was beating Williams until he messed up his leg. Mcbride was a bad match up. I think his managers were trying to set him up with a future fight with one of the klit brothers, but it backfired.
I dont understand how this could be bad for boxing. This would probably get more attention for the heavyweight division than ANY other heavyweight fight right now. The fight could only increase the intrest in boxing which is surely good for the sport.
