If he can get in shape, why not? Test him against some tomato cans to see if he "still gots it" and if he passes, give him a real fight. The heavyweight division is such a bore than I would welcome a Tyson comeback. He looks to be in better shape than he has in years..... <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dnV-NTpl4yw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dnV-NTpl4yw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>
Please God, no. Tyson is one of my all-time favorite athletes but he's waaayyy too old, fat and slow at this point. If he fights Holyfield he's going to get beat....again. Although, with how broke Holyfield is nothing would surprise me. Perhaps a flop on his part? Just saying...
Tyson still has his wits about him. Rent the Tyson Toback documentary; he won and lost hundreds of millions of dollars, and may be a tragic figure, but at least he remains a self-aware tragic figure. Then watch the commercial above with Holyfield, and compare his slurred speech (in the final cut, mind you) to Ali during his last years. (There's a great "30 for 30" ESPN doc on Ali training for the Holmes fight, showing his mental decline in progress.) Even if Tyson is fat, Holyfield is in worse shape, both now and heading into the future. It's a sad state of affairs; we as an audience have successfully watched/paid for another man to have gotten his brain beaten out of him.
"My power is discombobulatingly devastating. I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm. " - Mike Tyson
