Nobody made this much fuss when [iRocky Balboa[/i announced that he was making a comeback. And he is much older than Holyfield and Tyson. Let them fight I say.

It's a sad state of affairs when this is one of the highlights of the heavyweight division these days.

Evander would destroy Tyson and it would be a no show IMO. Unless they offer Evander a few million I cant see the fight taking place, he wouldnt put his public image on the line unless it was financially worth it.

Tyson must be in a real mess to consider fighting Evander again, shame really but it would still be more entertaining than the recent heavyweight world title fights.

Will they both be fighting on there zimmer frames?

I'd rather watch a Rocky VII

Another nail in the coffin of Heavyweight boxing,
Pointless as Holyfield will wipe the floor with Tyson who is only in it to pay his debts off

Such a fight would probably raise significantly more interest and box office sales than two of the current gun-shy Heavyweight contenders.

The current state of the heavyweight division has opened up a market for these old men to provide us with a bit of nostalgia and entertainment.

This is just an extension of seniors tours in other sports such as golf and tennis. If the public weren't interested by the prospect, they wouldn't watch. The fact that a) the original post wasn’t posted in the Other Sports forum and b) it isn’t merged with the Boxing 2008 thread speaks volumes: either laziness on the mods part ( ) or this really is the biggest boxing news item for the mainstream.

George Foreman would chin them both. At the same time.

Guys a baaaaad mo'fukka!

And he makes good grilling machines.

Fo' sho! We have two. We had a small one to see what they we're like, see if they lived up to the hype. And we we're that impressed with it, we only went and bought another bigger one didn't we!

Best way. You can get loads of bacon on them. Gorgeous.
