Post by: Luke on August 04, 2004, 10:57:37 AM: He\'s ol and just doesnt have it anymore... I mean he\'s pushing 40 and he ONLY boxes to pay off debt. He has no passion for it anymore and he will continue to lose, and make money.

Also he\'s crazy.

Post by: square_marker on August 04, 2004, 11:09:23 AM: From what I seen, he was actually winning the first couple of rounds with some nice combos. Then.... something happened. This other guy landed combo after combo and Tyson looked dead.

Definetly not. Sure he can hold is own in there but I don\'t think he will ever return to elite status. He is too old and has had too many problems with his life.

The whole, "I\'m gunna eat his children." and biting Evanders ear off was just too much to his reputation.

Post by: GmanJoe on August 04, 2004, 11:26:13 AM: He tore a ligament in his knee. Hence why Tyson couldn\'t put him out in the 1st round. Considering that Tyson was beating the hell out of him for three rounds before he got tired in the 4th and gave up.

Yeah. Mike used to be more than just the man. Pushing 40? How the time has flown. Thats one old mother. Poor guy.

Oh well.
