53 years old, was terrible 15 years ago and smokes weed from dawn to dusk. I assume they will be 1 round exhibitions

I would pay to watch him go 3 rounds with anybody.

And he'd have a good chance to win.

what happened to all the peaceful shyt and "not being that person anymore" :mjlol:
This just boxing now, just a man wanting to hone skills he still got left in the tank.


Young mike was a negative dude with toxic habits and thoughts. Older mike prolly just want to box for the love of the craft

Heavyweight division low key trash right now , and George Foreman fought til 48

stamina/endurance and actual movement speed (not hand speed which we see he still has) would be the only question here

the power is still there
he has better technique than any current heavyweight boxer

but can he go past a few rounds at that age, or have the mobility in his legs for long time I think would be the question

Foreman retired early and basically didn't take a lot of damage in his career, i mean he lost to Ali because of fatigue and he was outboxed by Jimmy Young, thats it retired at 28 stll fresh, and came back ten years later
had over 20 fights he won by KO before losing to Holyfield for the belt, and he lost to Tommy Morrison a guy he would've destroyed if he was younger, and he got was losing against Moorer until he landed one punch to finish him, to become the oldest heavyweight champion in history

Interesting interpretation, I didn't see it like that.

For me when you're coming up and in your first prime you've got lots of good with lots of bad, its all mixed in as one package deal which is fine as a youth but doesn't really cut it when you get your knowledge of self and wisdom up. This is when the second prime kicks in because you've now separated the milk from the water and know the value of what you have retained.

The rub is that the self centered grandiose aggression and DGAFness that was there in spades as a jit has to, by its very nature, be refined also and that turns it into something different. You can say its based on wisdom, declining hormone levels, experience, whatever you want but the battlefield shifts from the outer to the inner and with it the realization that your greatest foe doesn't have a face beyond the one you see in the mirror because he lives in your dome.

Only thing with this battle is there are no screaming crowds, no accolades, no bragging rights per se because you are literally alone in the ring. Upside is that not many people have the fortitude to even embark upon this battle because they simply never pushed themselves anyway and coasted through their first prime, hit the middle aged spread and then zoned out with no reflection or desire to improve, filling in days till they are dead and missing the point entirely.

Like I said, I see what he said differently because it resonates with me. Sometimes I miss what I used to be because being on the edge feels so alive in a way that walking the narrow path in the middle can't by its very nature but then I realize that everything has a time and place and its the excess of before that paved the way for the insight of now by knowing what not to do.You put the beast on a leash and he serves your purpose instead of you chasing behind him, being accountable for his actions whilst he was at the wheel of your vessel. Yin/Yang. Polarities. The presence of one infers the potential of the other if you care to discover.

The first prime is egocentric, literally me against the world. Its a gift to everyone who sports the flesh. The second prime is far more spiritual, akin to perceiving the universe in a grain of sand and comprehending the interconnectedness of it all and your role therein.
It makes the first pale in significance in many respects but its also the antithesis of this modern age so your shift flies right over many peoples heads and can leave you feeling alone in a room full of friends as your frequency is so far above and beyond their range.

The foundation of a building never changes. No matter how many stories you lay on top of it as time progresses.

:ehh:

If he did come back, Fury, Wilder and Joshua would probably wash him

Of course they should! Based on the fact they're not 20 years younger and in their prime.

This is nice to see from Mike though. His body is probably ticking better then it was throughout his 30's and 40's. Shows you don't have to be flabby and sick in your 50's

Looks way more focused and aggressive now than he did when he exited the ring.

He recently said that he felt like a bytch now compared to what he used to be and missed the old Mike Tyson:



When old lions roar its time for the clowns to get nervous...


Yo, I'm not gonna lie.....

if I heard any other person / rapper say some shyt like that, I'd be like

:stopitslime::mjlol::mjlit: fukk outta here!


But that shyt was real coming from Mike.

:wow:

Mike is possibly the most technically savvy HW ever. He is the embodiment of the art of boxing. Power, angles, technique, defense, footwork, head movement ...etc :wow:
:rudy: So I guess we’re just going to forget about Ali, right?
