The fight will be extremely popular with the average person, only maybe 1/3 of my friends heard of Wlad, but all my friends know who Tyson and Holyfield are. I remember the local bar and Hooters being packed for the Tyson/McBride and Tyson/Williams, they had to close the doors at one point, you would of thought your city team was in the superbowl or something, the man can hype a fight like no other.
This fight would be worthless, Tyson is a good 300lbs, hasn't fought in 3 years and would rather spend time in strip clubs than in a Boxing gym.. Holy is 46 and can't get licensed in New York or in Vegas, id rather see flies **** than this crap..
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. Pretty much. And keep in mind Mike was winning both fights until the end. If he actually got in good shape this could be an entertaining fight. Either way, I'd rather watch this than any of the current HW bs.
I wish Tyson would fight Tua or Vitali, those would be good fights, definitely more entertaining then Wlad-Sultan, and I'd pay for Tua vs Tyson and Vitali vs Tyson, 50 bucks is worth it for that in my opinion...
A small heavy like Tyson is nothing without his speed and stamina...and that is long gone. He just throws it all in the first couple of rounds then has nothing left.
You cannot be a Tyson fan to propose such crazy fights. Mike was well past his prime in the 90s for various reasons most ppl are aware of. But post 2000 he is a punching bag after 1-2 rounds.
Fenech.... Australian trainer Jeff Fenech has explored a possible re-match of the infamous Evander Holyfield v Mike Tyson "bite" fight, AAP reports. Holyfield revealed Tyson wanted a third fight with him and used friend and trainer Fenech as a go-between. "There has been some talk between us," said Holyfield. "Mike had Jeff Fenech, who's been training him, call me a few months ago. "Jeff says Mike wants to fight me again - but he needs to know if I would agree to it. I said, 'Yeah, if the price is right, I probably would'."
I don't think it would be slaughter, Vitali hasn't fought since 04' and Tyson hasn't fought since 05'. Maybe it would be a easier win for Vitali because of the age difference. You can't forget that Vitali's skills have probably lowered since his last fight, and old Tyson or not, he's still got a good chin. And Tua vs Tyson would be great (maybe not now, but if it did happen), two stocky power punchers, it would be great indeed.
