Apparently Tyson's words were along those lines, he said something along the lines of "You might all think he's a big cuddly old grandpa, but he's a badass mofo and there's no way I'm signing to fight him."

He then stormed out of the restaurant where he was having a meeting with his representatives (was it Finkel then), and never broached the subject again. They apparently had a 100 million deal for the fight for the two men involved.

I would love a separate thread on Barnes v Vincent 2.
Everything that is wrong in this sport we all love was played out in full there.
