Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tyson to return to fighting at 53?

He's nuts but MMA's offering him $20 mill to get his head knocked off.

TYSON

He needs the bucks! He will be punch drunk like Ali.

He'd better use lots of PolyGrip if he plans to use his signature move again!
LOL!

Watch some of his training footage before you write him off. If he has any kind of cardio, he’ll dominate. He’s still fast as hell and moves amazing for 53

I don't know how Tyson would handle MMA. But I've seen his recent workouts and I think he could beat the heavyweight boxers out there today.

I don't see how.

He can't reach their ears with his teeth.

Sad to say but I'll watch!!

Check out heavyweight boxing these days and you'll see how.

Boxing isn't what it used to be.

Tyson is 53 and I doubt that he has the wind to go much more than three rounds. But I think he would knock Tyson Fury out in two.

Doubtful there's a licensing body (in the US anyway) that's going to let him box.

15 years ago, he lost to a no-name guy that went on to lose six of his next eight fights.

After beatin the shat outta Tyson.

If he was allowed ta get in the ring with the 6'8", 280 pounders out there now, LOL.

Don't let a speeded up 10 second video fool you.

Problem is, towards the end of his career, he stopped bobbing and weaving and became a stand-up fighter.

Where's Butterbean when you need him? The king of the 4 round fights.

Knock out a much younger Tyson Fury in 2? lol

I’d watch it.
Remember the last boxer MMA fight. McGregor didn’t fare well.
And as to cardio.......many ultra long distance runners are over 50.
I won’t write him off.
If he can connect with a good combination.

And he isn’t dumb. Check how fast he made up the grades in school once he had a good teacher.

And as to boxing ........he was taught by one of the best.

Yeah. The heavyweight contenders for the championship these days would have been club fighters 25 years ago.

McGregor was boxing, not fighting MMA.

True.

And Tyson would be a good match for Wilder, who has no jab and gets hit a lot.

Fury has a decent jab for a heavyweight, and the body mass ta hold off a Tyson body attack for awhile.

But the governing bodies are scared shatless of a guy like Tyson droppin dead of the enlarged heart they all have, either whilst trainin or in the ring.

Tyson's got some hard miles on him, at this point.

Be interesting to see how long he lives.

I remember him fighting some white guy from South Africa in about 1999. I thought the South African was going to win because he was out boxing him and then Tyson landed one solid hook and it was over. Tyson had some amazing power.

Ha ha! Either way, I think his teeth will be coming out.

Right.
Tyson going to go MMA????

They outlawed ear biting and eye gouging?
