Should Mike Tyson fight again in 2020? that's the question everyone's asking
and the answer has created much division among boxing analysts, professional
fighters and the overall general public at large this question is very hard to
answer and I'm somewhat divided myself on one hand I'd absolutely love to see
Mike Tyson fight again watching some of his fights while I was growing up
these were larger-than-life. They were an event that had the whole world talking I
mean when Mike Tyson was champ everyone knew he was champ
everyone knew who the heavyweight boxing champion was at the time boxing has lost
this sort of popularity, this sort of excitement nowadays the heavyweight
champ is not a household name and that's a damn shame
boxing could still be the most exciting sport in world one could argue that
boxing in general suffers from it's own obsession with romanticizing the past
but in the case of Mike Tyson, I'm not so sure I feel as I'm sure many of you
do as well that boxing was better back then it was magical but it's not boxing
itself that was magical was mike tyson that made boxing magical so if we have a chance
to see this legend again it would be really something and the reason we want
to see him in the ring again is because he still showcases that same insane
speed and power he was known for we all bared witness of this in his 2020
training video that went viral he still has his gifts unlike many other older
athletes that are well beyond their prime here's what the people who seem to
be on board with Mike Tyson making a comeback are say boxing trainer Jeff Fenech
said in April that he believes this 53 year old version of Tyson would beat some
of the best heavyweights in the world he said he'd guarantee that of Mike Tyson
trained for six weeks he'd knockout Deontay Wilder in a minute
he would hit them, these guys are getting knocked out by Tyson Fury,
he's a great fighter but not a huge puncher Tyson would kill these guys. Mike
Tyson's current trainer the guy holding those pads in that viral video Rafael
Cordeiro said Mike Tyson has the same speed the same powers guys
21, 22 years old now look at some of the comments I got from one of my other
Mike Tyson videos the general public's really excited about this for example
Joe Cordero says I believe with all my knowledge and years of watching boxing
the last 50 years if Mike gets the right trainer and the right fights he can
regain the heavyweight title and go down as a youngest and oldest person to win a
heavyweight crown another comment on one of the Tyson videos from Instant-On 2D/
3D Graphic Art & Animation, "hmm is it possible that might will become the
youngest and the oldest heavyweight champion in boxing history?" That's
certainly an interesting thing to ponder and I'm sure is on a lot of people's minds
and then Max W said "am i excited to see Mike Tyson in the ring again? hell yes I
don't care if he loses I just want to see my childhood here at one last time."
and these are the kind of comments coming from male and female alike for
example a Theresa Hennessy said "it would be a dream come true see Mike fight
again." so that seems to be the consensus among many of us we want to see him
fight again we want to see if he can become the oldest champ but let's not
get ahead of ourselves this is supposedly an exhibition match that he's
gonna fight. now on the other hand and equally compelling argument can be made
as the why Mike Tyson shouldn't fight again let's face facts
boxing is dangerous you are literally trying to knock another man out cold.
fans and analysts alike are worried about Mike Tyson getting seriously
injured you're not gonna bounce back in your 50s
like you would in your 20s after getting pummeled for several rounds of
boxing let's say hypothetically if you lost, it could tarnish his legacy there's
recency bias this is what we'll remember about him at least for the foreseeable
future and here's what the people who don't send me be on board with Mike
Tyson making a comeback are saying: Dana White a friend of Mike Tyson pleaded
with him not to do it. boxing analyst Kevin Iole said "the
risk is too high that should be considered
stop this nonsense now before it's too late". boxing analyst Max Kellerman says
"No Mike Tyson cannot compete with the best heavyweights in the world 25 years
after he was at his best when they're 30 and 40 pounds bigger than they ever
were and he hasn't fought in 15 years." As far as what the general public
thinks some of the commentators on my other boxing Mike Tyson video HMMBeljuvo said, "I just hope he doesn't get seriously injured
I mean if you're old you're old and there's nothing wrong with that but
there's everything wrong with needlessly putting yourself in danger when you're way passed your prime. And then Afterburner said "Asked Chuck Liddell how the whole coming
on a retirement thing worked out for him." and then FM The Goat, he's a little more
harsh, said "Tyson please don't come back if you want to still be alive you're
nothing, you're just an old bun boxer." so if Tyson truly wants to return the ring as
he says he does and he can pass all the required medical tests required to do so
he deserves a chance to try this is pretty much the real life Rocky Balboa
movie playing. Paulie: "What, you haven't peaked yet?" Rocky: "Peaked?" Paulie: "Yeah, peaked." Rocky: "I don't know, there's still some stuff in the basement."
Paulie: "What basement?"
Rocky: "In here."
Mike Tyson: "I was an annihilator, that's what I was born for, and now I"m not that person no more, and I miss him."
"Cause sometimes I feel like a Bitch." Now as his age 53 goes there's a couple of things that
could be at play. One: He's just a freak athlete freak human being and
genetically he could just pull this off Two: There could be some hormonal
replacement at play and Joe Rogan actually mentioned this on this podcast. Rogan: "Because if he takes
hormones if he's taking like testosterone growth hormone thyroid hormone, all those things people take when they take hormone replacement therapy, your
body functions way better at a way later age it's different, very different so if
we're talking about like being a 53 year old man in 1985 there's no chance right
everybody fell apart like you'd have to be like be a really really really rare
person who doesn't take hormones and can perform like a 30-year old when you're in your
50s but when you're on hormones you can kind of do it." Three: Stem-cell treatments
Tyson actually talked about this himself and talked about these weird stem cell
treatments he said he's felt weird ever since taking them but who knows maybe
this is a fountain of youth maybe this is something we can all benefit from in the future.
So Mike Tyson definitely has a lot of
success right now with his other ventures and doesn't
fight he said the reason for these exhibition matches would be to make some
money for charities so you have to respect the cause. Mike Tyson says, "Imagine
I went out there and fought, I could help out all these people and animals we're talking
about that's what it's about. Mike Tyson has long been an animal lover and
actually got into his first fistfight with a neighborhood bully who killed one
of his pet pigeons he's also known as a lover of big cats but how could you not
be? so boxing promoter Bob Arum probably has a best idea for Mike Tyson
he said he back at Mike Tyson vs. Tyson Fury bout for charity.
Tyson vs. Tyson is probably the ideal scenario the way Bob Arum would have it
play out, an exhibition bout for charity with headgear and big gloves. The 89 year
old promoter said he was approached by a member of Team Tyson about getting
involved in an exhibition match between the former heavyweight champion. Now you
got the two biggest names in boxing this I believe would be a huge draw
although still an exhibition match it would at least feature a modern heavyweight
champ and be a little safer for Mike Tyson now the two men could put on a
show and satisfy fans wishes to watch their hero Mike Tyson an almost
mythical figure fight one last time speaking of being mythical, look what he
recently said. Joe Rogan: "Tyson explains his desire to fight again I feel unstoppable now
the gods of war have reawakened me." so to sum it all up I want to ask you,
