    Hell yeah! One of the big reasons I love boxing is because its entertaining. And no one entertains like Mike Tyson. His career was not perfect, but it was a 20 year unforgettable roller coaster ride.

      One fight of Tyson would bring more money to King than all of his "champions" combined. That said, I think Mike has a pretty good chance against Ruiz and Byrd. Brewster will probably KO him by the 5th and he has a 50/50 against Rahman. Hell, Mike could become a champ again if he is lucky. And just think what would happen if VK came out of retirement anf fight Mike for the undisputed title - that would be a mega fight.

        It would be a mega fight, only Tyson wouldnt make it to that. I guess it would have to be luck because he cannot focus enough to make it nor does he have the heart or desire.

            Thanks to BUSTER
            As result of Vitali Klitschkos retirement Don King now promotes all major heavyweight belts and is planning an unification tournament which will result in one undisputed heavyweight champion (similar to the 1986 box-off that produced the youngest heavyweight champion in history Mike Tyson). In an interview with SecondsOut Don King said he will be inviting aged legends Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield to enter his tourney.

            "I am interested in working with Mike again," King said. "Provided that he does the proper things in training. He's had some bad losses of late but there's no reason Mike Tyson cannot win the heavyweight title again. He is only 39, George Foreman, a man who has similar punching power, won the title back at age 45. If Mike can dedicate himself to training again and can (promise me) that he is able to do that then yes, I will give him a chance to create history all over again."

            King added: "And Evander Holyfield has his licence back and he can be part of all this, too. He lost to Larry Donald who is a different kind of fighter but the 'Real Deal' can be a factor, too."
            Tyson v Holyfield III would be a guilty pleasure but one which people would pay to see."

            if this is true, mike is going to get ko'd again

            but i actully think he would stand a chance against feather fister byrd and ruiz

                  Holyfield is not going to be in the tournament. He's not even allowed to fight in the U.S. if I'm not mistaken

                    The only way I'll support Tyson making a comeback is if he is truly 100% dedicated, and if he works with Kevin Rooney again. He is the only person who can make Tyson the fighter he once was. Kevin Rooney even stated in several interviews that if Tyson ask him to train him, he will.
