Jonjon79 13,340 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Mike Tyson wants to return to the ring at 54yrs old. I don't doubt that he's in good shape and, has probably still got a decent punch but, will nature let him have enough gas in the tank to go 12 rounds with younger men at the top of the division? .......... personally, I doubt it but, fair play to him for having another crack at it. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/11714222/mike-tyson-tyson-fury-fight-stats-compared/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=sunfootballfacebook210720&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1595333016 Ps - Fury, tape your feckin ears down Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he wants to have a few exhibitions then good on him but he doesn't have a prayer of making any sort of meaningful comeback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Considering what he was in his younger years, I just find it all a bit sad - the potential for embarrassment is cringeworthy. Good luck to him though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gypsydog94 4,329 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 He always said that when her went down hill it was only a pay day. That’s all this is. He openly says that he doesn’t love boxing anymore. And he doesn’t want to be who he was when he was 20 he was like a pit bull then. Got told to attack that what he done 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,808 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Perfect timing, it's been announced today that Tyson is facing Roy Jones Jr in September. A suppose this horrible freak show will sell massive numbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tyson was a stylistic nightmare for a Jones moving up to HW, he would have left the ring in a body bag. Edited July 23, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
