Tyson is nothing but a sideshow now, he has Zero chance of winning a title.

The offensive that Tyson launched on Danny in the first round of their fight will take care of McBride

The fact that we are having any level of debate about Tyson /McBride shows just how low he has sunk now.

Yep, he can get fit again, but the guy is pushing 40 and now at the tomato can beating level.

The similarities with Sonny Liston are cruelly apparent. I just hope, for Tyson's sake that the ending is not the same

The more I watch Williams vs Tyson (and I gave Williams a big chance before hand) the more I think how Williams was close to being flatternd by Tyson and how much the injury effected Mike's power - more than fatigue. Tyson still can hit hard when out of it (ask Frans Botha).

This fight is a joke match no doubt, I think McBride is on a par (if not worse) than Peter McNeeley and I think this fight will go much the same way. However, I am interested in Tyson's career still. He still has the intrigue for me and is still the most exciting fighter on this planet, if not no longer the best.

Williams vs Tyson was one of the best Heavyweight fights I have seen in years.

I dont agree, Tyson is mentally weak now aswell as having very little stamina. As soon as someone doesnt fall and starts hitting him back he falls apart. He can still win the knockover jobs against the likes of McBride but he has no chance with any of the champions or guys at the top.

He has that punchers chance vs anyone. Ruiz, Brewester and Rahman have all been KO'd in the past. Goes past 4 and I think he has lost, but I still think there is a good chance alot of these fights might not see the 4th round.

Can't remember Brewster being KO'd, only knocked down. Agree with what you're saying though

I really think Mike is at the stage where he falls apart against anyone once he starts getting hit... he's always been a front runner and now his skills have gone that is going to be even more pronounced. He still has a punch and should be able to ko Mcbride but he is well past beating any of the 'champs' and Klitchenko would batter him to peices.
His hearts not in it and if he's not carefully matched he will get hurt.

Sorry, I thought Shufford stopped him - it was a points defeat.

Don't worry stu, we all make mistakes. It happens to the best of us!

But the question is, will McBride come up with as fearsome a prediction as Pete McNeeley managed??

"I'll wrap him in a cocoon of horror!!"
