mikes, biggest problem are his legs,mike could be the champ again, his hand speed is there, i boxed for over 25 years now and its all in his legs,im almost he same age as mike , and ive always had strongfootwork but as ive gotten older ive had to work extra harrd to maintain footwork and most days i still dont have it ,i really believe that its the first thing to go in a boxer , and lookin, at mike its obvios mikes legs are like 2 cynder blocks , just look at the tapes ,he was acrooss the ring in seconds, and he wasnt running that was all legs and how quickly he would duck a punch and come up with a devastating punch , 90% legs but he has lost it big time he needs to slim down through calestics or mabey a boot camp of some sort it wouldnt be easy but the truth is hes gotten lazy i wish he could somehow read this . he says he still loves boxing and i believe him. its been a big part of his life, bt you cannot live boxing 12 weeks a year and expect to be good, let alone , the best but anyone whohas seen mike fight in the past would be a fool to think that mike is finished he will be back and people still pay to see him . i have mike ranked as second best fighter of all time he would have outslugged foreman, louis ,and marciano easily frazier would have been a little tougher . but ali was too smart and too fast oh yeah , and ali had the ultimate footwork.

I'm very pro Tyson, but words cant describe this post.
Tyson is more shot than Ali was when he fought Berbick.
Tyson must not fight again.
Not physically he isn't, but mentally he is. Tyson hasn't had a real fight in him since before Lewis. Up until recently only pretty good fighters could last long enough to make that show, now anyone who can hang in there wins. That he slipped as far as McBride so fast is amazing, but in truth he's been in decline since before the Douglas fight mentally.
Good to see him admit that his heart hasn't been in it for 15 years. Maybe people will finally understand that Mike Tyson isn't in his prime any more. I don't like him, and have never rated him, but you can't help feel sorry for Danny Williams. This does cheapen his "achievement" last year.
