Tyson can still come back!

Post by DK2112 »

I found this on another board:
"So Tyson lost again last night. At the post fight press conference he sounded genuine when discussing his future and was surprisingly honest to admit that his career had been over since 1991.

Well, I think that all he has to do is get a new trainer and re-focus himself (yet again) and then he'll be the champ he once was, and could reign for years to come.

Tyson would not have lost if it wasn't for the outside ring distractions that he had. Not to mention that it was too cold in the arena that he fought in last night, plus the referees instructions were too long, which caused his body to cool down too fast, so therefore he started off slow, which is the only reason why McBride managed to survive the opening round..

Also don't forget that Tyson was booed by some members of the crowd, this caused him to lose focus and as a result he could not apply the strategy that he and Fenech had put together to beat McBride. I also heard a rumour that someone had put some medication in a double cheeseburger with extra onions that Tyson ate a few weeks ago. Apparently it was a time release drug, set to go off at the end of the 6th round, which is why he lost.

McBride was lucky, because we all know that had he met Tyson in his "prime" he wouldn't have lasted more than a few seconds, maybe 4 or 5 at most, but that would be no shame at all because Ali wouldn't have lasted much longer than 10 seconds and Lennox Lewis? Maybe 7."

Obviously they were joking but just thought I'd share it.

Until the cheeseburger thing I tourght it was someone that really meant that Tyson could make a comeback.

Actually all joking aside I was thinking today about a way he could come back, all it needs is some enterprising character with a few quid and a compliant commission in some midwest boxing backwater. I could see it happening too - "Legends of Boxing heavyweight tournament". I think they've tried something similar before but now there must be even more 35+ heavyweights who are keen to keep fighting. Call it 3 rounds max cos that's all these guys can do now, and make it some kind of knock-out or league tournament. For the right dosh Tyson would be in I'm sure, same goes for Holyfield and Bowe, and you could probably get a fair few more from Moorer, Botha, Mercer, Ruddock, Tubbs, Witherspoon, etc - all those guys who can't seem to retire. Maybe even old Holmes and Foreman as well. It would be terrible to watch, but I suspect it would sell. As Don King would say - "Only in America baby"!
