All the "in 3 or 4 fights time I'll be ready" talk just doesn't sound convincing to me. I believe Tyson knows deep down that Vitali would take him to the cleaners.
While it's good to see Tyson appearing in good shape his boxing skills are nothing but a memory. I'm sure we'll see a pitiful attempt next week at bobbing and weaving - which will last about 10 seconds.
PLease, give the guy a break. He might be playing hard to get with Vitali, so he can get as much money as possible.
People have got to stop comparing the Tyson of today, with the Tyson of 85-89. They are completely different fighters.
The 2004 Tyson is not fighting the 1988 Tyson, so why the constant comparisons?
We should be comparing Tyson with the other Heavyweights of 2004. Who, quite frankly, arent up to much, including Vitali.
