Still one bad mofo in his 50’s. Surprised at the speed he still shows.

He has his signature head bob and throwing punches at angles that he learned from Cus down pat again.
Remember how he'd work that right hook to the body, drop his shoulder, and finish with the uppercut? Devastating.

Tyson v McGregor plz. I wanna see McGregor die live on television


Having this debate with a buddy. You obviously take Tyson in the boxing ring.. But he's saying that in an octagon it would be conner and it wouldn't even be close. Neither of us know a damn thing about fighting so it's a shite debate but the power and extra weight of Tyson has to come into play right?

McGregor would curb Tyson in the Octagon but would get stomped in a ring

McGregor weights 159lbs.
Tyson weighs 240lbs. The champ would clobber him in any fight. There's a reason we have weight classes in fighting.

You can't be serious? Even Conner can't think his precision is beating Tyson's power.

Don't know about the "Baddest Man on the Planet," but anyone who thinks Tyson is still vertical after going against Bobby Gunn or Igor Vovchanchyn in a bare-knuckle fight is living in a fantasy land.

Buster Douglass, Kevin McBride and Danny Williams are realities that are not going to go away.

We thinking the same thing. I can't imagine being that close to severe pain and the only thing making it not happen is Tyson.

I watched a lot of boxing when I was younger, and Iron Mike was the only guy I remember who seemed to hate the man who got into the ring with him.

I'd put money down saying that this "I'm back" won't turn out nearly as well as that "I'm back" did.

How many millions of guys have discussed what it'd be like to see Mike Tyson punch someone with a bare fist? Now, I know he's a lot older, but we might get to see it!

Thing is, can he hit as hard with a fist as he can with a glove? How hard can he hit before he breaks a bone in his hand without gloves and can he hit hard enough with a glove to do more damage, even with the increased weight and padding?

Also, I would throw my money at a chance to see Tyson fight Tyson. It'll likely never happen, but a boy can dream, can't he?

Anyone remember his comeback when he fought Clifford Etienne? It garnered some local interest because Clifford was from LA. I remember going to Buffalo Wild Wings on Bluebonnet to watch it with my wife (we might have still been dating) and friends. The fight lasted like a minute
