CR7 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Tyson V Holyfield 3!!! Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 His speed for 53 is incredible. The big question would be, can he keep that up going 7 or 8 rounds, or all the way to 12. Need to see if he has the endurance if he can't end fights in the first 3 minutes like he used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I cannot wrap my head around how that would even be possible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably doent have the stamina as he would have had in his 20's, but he also didn't need much more then 2 rounds with those skills in his 20's. Even a 75% Tyson has a good chance of knocking these young kids out inside 3. and you'd put money on that? i know i wouldn't he'll end up fighting other aging fighters only who are also grasping to stay relevant this whole thing is not serious boxing but primarily entertainment so if that is where your sports interest lie.. then i guess you are happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 With sports being shut down, it’s given me time to look back on others I used to watch (especially throughout the 90s). Gotta say, when everything comes back, I’ll be watching a lot more basketball and would love to see a resurgence of boxing. Favourite boxer in the 90s was Prince Naseem Hamed.

I am just saying that Tyson is a total physical freak ( much like GSP and Mayweather) so if i was to put money on anyone to make history it would be Tyson. Given his insanely aggressive style , and the fact he has like 40+ knockouts in his 50 somthing fights , he is a good candidate for a comback. He has alwayd been most effective in the first few rounds with his way over average power. If he can keep it to a few rounds, his age won't matter .

He never had the endurance when he was in prime shape though. Hollyfield was a cerebral fighter that saw that. Problem with have that so much talent (eg., brute strength), you tend not to work on the rest of 'your game' & just rely on your God-given ability. No different from a uber skilled hockey player like Nail Yakupov. Doesn't mean it isn't irreversible. Look at Alexander Daigle. Though Tyson is on the wrong side of Father Time.

How many times did Tyson go 7, 8 or 12 rounds... That power could still knock out heavyweights. In 58 professional fights Tyson went past round 6 11 times if I counted correctly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Moorer was no joke. He had just beaten a younger than him Holyfield before losing to forman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Tyson fought Holyfield, Tyson was already past his prime. He was still dangerous, but he was listening to the wrong people, his life was overrun with drama and he didn't have the focus he had in his early 20's. He had done his 3 years in prison for rape, and was already dealing with drug and alcohol issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many a friendship was nearly destroyed by Fight Night battles on the PS1. As far as this whole comeback is concerned, I think if Hershel Walker can beat people's asses over 50 in MMA, why can't Tyson do it in boxing? He's looking beastly right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
