Iron Mike Tyson age 53
 

I am sure he still packs a punch. I bet if he fought Buster Douglas TODAY, Mike wins.

I think the plan is for him to fight Holyfield again for a big payday.

Cover your ears..

That was one of those sporting events I'll never forget. I, and many at the time thought Tyson was unstoppable. I had never heard of Buster Douglas before that fight came to be. What a shocker that fight was. The beginning of the end...

I box three days per week and spar 15 rounds per week and I wouldn't get near this guy in a ring.

Tyson was so unaware of how he impacted people back in the 80's... listen to his interview with Joe Rogan from about a year ago... incredible!

He must have figured out people have two ears ... just sayin' ...

That's Rafael Cordeiro holding pads in Mike's garage, in Newport Beach. He was saying 3 weeks ago, Mike's going to do some fights for charity. I think just 6 round bouts. I'm sure one will be with Evander, since he's back to training too. Rafael was scared holding the pads for iron Mike.

Love him or hate him...….Mike is an interesting guy.

I appreciate his sense of humor and how he reeled himself back at times. I'm sure there are many times his life could have ended badly.

He's had a relationship with pigeons his entire life and it's claimed his fighting career actually started over someone killing one of his birds. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.....but Mike's truth writes like a fiction book anyhow.

Goat

Cassius clay might tell you differnt.

The Brown Bomber was not too shabby!
Shout out for the “D”!!

No such person.

Tyson car story: 1988 or so Iron Mike banged up his Bentley Conv in Manhattan. 2 Officers showed up to the scene and Mike said' This car is nothing but bad luck, you guys keep it..." and they did, for a while, until the Sarg made them give it back. Only Iron Mike...

If Cus D'mato hadn't died so early in his career he could have been the best ever. Once Jim Jacobs died in 1988 he didn't have a chance, everyone after Jim was a yes man looking for a big payday so they just sat back and told him how great he was and eventually he started believing it himself and it was game over.

Tyson was definitely the most feared fighter in his prime. As for the GOAT and both in their prime, Clay wins.

I hate to say it, but Mike would bomb on Ali. If Ali somehow made it into the 6 round, and Mike blew himself out, maybe a different story. Mike had a very high energy fighting style that took a Z06 gas tank. That tank sprung a leak soon after Gus.
Ali was the best, 100%. No greater fighter, trash talker, person, athlete, personality, intelligence, and wit.

Update: It's on.

Iron Mike Tyson against the shark.

Letting the inner demons finally come out to play on Sept 12th, against another legend in Roy Jones jr.
Maybe 911 would have been a more appropriate date.

Here he is:

I'd much rather see him fight Bob Sapp,as Tyson has been chomping at the bit to fight him for years.
Recently he was led to believe he was going to face him too,then they changed fighters on him.
This from 2011..

Its a glorified sparring session

There's no going light with Mike's fighting style.
Even if they agreed not to go more than 70%, that will last a minute or two. Huge ego's, both are fighters.

Classic Don King style..., Tyson is VERY schooled after all these years, and I would think Sapp may be in the works. Why shouldn't Tyson cash in after King took a large amount of his $$ when he was a kid.? Boxing is struggling big and everybody loves a (Tyson) comeback....

I chuckled when I watched a video of Tyson sparring as you could tell they sped up the video.

Tonight:

Ca. State Athletic Commission - no knockout rule in effect.

I bet someone forgot to tell Mike, because within the first minute, Mike will start blasting away.

A Draw?
Never saw that coming.

95% body shots and clinching. I didn't see that coming.
Nice to see Mike turned a corner, and stuck to the rules he and Jones agreed on. Head shots were just touches, except for a couple.

Cash grab!

Tyson got himself in amazing shape.Jones tied Tyson up in every round & was looking exhausted half way through it all.
I know it was just an exhibition match,but come on,Tyson would have destroyed him if it wasn't.
Tyson never looked winded to me.

100%.
Amazing Tyson didn't let his ego go with the world watching, and land his famous power combo's. I took it as though, he was paying back Jones for doing the fight, and help promote the "Legend league" Tyson is trying to get off the ground.

Just a glorified, over-hyped sparring match . . .

That’s what I said on page 3 on 7-24-2020. Haha

Ha! Great minds think alike!

Everyone knew it was going to be an exhibition Fight but instead of the normal 3 rounds they went 8.
