    All Tyson needs is to get back with Kevin Rooney and he'll be Undisputed Heavyweight Champ again!

    I'm not sure if this is supposed to be satirical.

    How is a guy who is 15 years older, who has blown up in weight and shrunk several times, who has admitted to heavy alcohol use, who has admitted to using hard drugs for prolonged periods, and who has settled on smoking cannabis and tobacco as his breakfast, lunch and dinner going to be in "better shape now" than he was then?

    I'd comfortably pick Tyson to defeat the following opponents if he were to face them right now:

    -Corrie Sanders
    -Trevor Berbick
    -Magomed Abdusalamov

    Is this the same Tyson who his fans claim he was past prime at 23 years old?

    Mike Tyson has only 1 round of fight in him at 53 years old

    That being said there are still plenty of heavyweights who can only hold even a nothing pace for 2-3 rounds before they are tired.

    You dont need triangle theory to know your prediction that he would beat Joyce and Huggie Fury is insane

    Junior Fa
    Lucas Browne
    Dillon Carman
    Kyotaro Fujimoto
    Devin Vargas
    Nick Webb
    Robert Alfonso
    Eric Molina
    Erkan Teper
    Kash Ali

    From this list... Jesus Christ:lol:

    I can't honestly say with any confidence any of these guys could beat him. But if forced, maybe Browne or Molina, and that's a big maybe.

    Joyce is slow enough where Tyson can still slip his punches. He also so easy to hit that tyson can land anything he wants.
    Tyson would walk through Hughies punches, corners him and puts him to sleep, or Hughie loses by humiliating marathon.

    Fujimoto isn't muсh bigger than a welterweight and has lost two times by absolutely vicious knockouts. I think Tyson can beat him

    Yeah, I dunno. I saw the Dubois fight, in which he was badly overmatched, but would be lying if I were to claim to know any more than that. I suppose you might be right on the basis that his only career wins come against no-name fighters... but, still, 53... I mean...
