Is Holyfield-Tyson 3 going to be the awsome match we all know it will be? Should the winner be Unified Champ'?

Question

They BOTH were linnear-unified Champions.

Answer 1

wow i want to see this fight so bad lol... but it will be sad, cuz holyfield prob gonna die after it @@  dude should not be boxing anymore... and h**l no winner shouldn't be Unified Champ lol u serious?!  pshhh yo they need to to a tournament of Top 4 to declare a Unified Champ... d**n lennox lewis...

Answer 2

Yer jokin right?  Unified champ of what?  

Lets count the top 100 heavyweights Today...............................From the BOTTOM UP.

The last time either of these guys was champ Clinton was in office

.................the Male Clinton.

Watching Tyson-Holyfield 3 would be like watching Mutual of Omaha only this time the old lion is tied to a tree and being chewed,.....sl..ow...ly....by the hyena.  Holyfield plays the part of the Hyena.  You'd have to hate Tyson to send him in there again.  Holyfield has his number and nothing to prove by beating up on Mike again.  Might as well take his purse too.  

There is nothing to be gained by this fight happening.  Step back into your time machine and crank it back about 18 years.

Answer 3

i hope the fight happens simply because it's the most exciting heavyweight fight out there.  even hardcore fans out there would agree to that.  even though it has no bearing on titles.  a disciplined Tyson with the right trainer could still make a little noice in the heavyweight division, maybe even punch his way into a small title fight.  unfortunately tyson can't be disciplined and no trainer worth anything would waste their time on him. evander has proven time and again that he has nothing left in the tank.  his power and chin are gone and his boxing skills have fallen way off.  he does have a lot of heart and a great will, even though i think he's pretty delusional since he still thinks he has the ability to unify the belts before he retires.  

all that being said, i think the fight has a good chance of happening because they are both in need of money badly, and no one else out there is willing to fight them (though some guys have said they would be interested in fighting the winner.)  also, trinidad-jones has a good following and made a decent amount of money, and with the heavyweight division being what is it, lots of fans want to reminisce about the good old days, why not put these two guys in the ring together?

i dont see the fight ending well.  either a quit or a disqualification is almost inevitible.  the fight would stir up a lot of interest.

Answer 4

This fight would mean nothing, they are way, way to old. If Holyfield doesn't quit he may very well die in the ring or end up another Jerry Quarry and that would be sad.

Answer 5

I think the operative word in your post is "WERE."

What they ARE is too old to fight any more.

Answer 6

it would be a sad day for boxing if these two go head to head once more.Holyfield is burned out physically he has nothing left.Tyson maybe even more so but psychologically even worse again this is a fight that could destroy what is left of iron mike

I dont want to see it happen but if it does I hope that both have prepared the best that they can and tyson has exorcised all his demons then and only then maybe we can see a good decent fight but I would very much doubt it.

how do you predict two unknown commodities?..at a guess holyfield by stoppage

Answer 7

I think they should have a senior's division for boxers over 40 past their prime and  who just can't get it out of their system. One requirement would be they have to have had a layoff (retirement) of at least 3 years. Which would disqualify Holyfield because I don't think he ever had that big of a break yet. Also they would have to wear the head gear again to protect themselves. Fans who grew up watching the fighters would still pay to see them in action but probably not nearly as much. This would keep them in shape and give them purpose while not kicking them completely out of the sport that they dedicated their lives toward.

I think instead they should tag team against WWE's Degeneration X. Tyson already betrayed them when he was referee and Shawn Michaels faced Stone Cold Steve Austin. Holyfield has stuck his head into the WWE as well as he boxed Matt Hardy so it would be a natural transition. And who knows Floyd Mayweather is already there so he could manage them. The baddest man on the planet, the real deal and the pretty boy -- sounds like a wrestling stable to me.

Answer 8

I seriously doubt that it will be awesome. Maybe the winner can fight Larry Merchant ?

Answer 9

I so hope this fight does not happen....they will stick it on ppv and people will pay 50 bucks to see 2 out of their prime fighters do nothing in the ring.

tyson is beyond washed up

and while holyfield looked good in his last fight he's like what 90 hang them up evander before you tarnish  your legacy

Answer 10

Tyson has to get past Butterbean first.

Answer 11

they shoulnd do this again mike tyson is a schyco

Answer 12

Well, the fight may not even happen but if it does, I actually wouldn't mind seeing them fight again because it would be entertaining, but at this stage of their careers it would not mean anything to either guy.  Holyfield has already wooped Tyson twice and he just lost a title challenge to Sultan Ibragimov, who recently lost to Wladimir Klitschko.  And Tyson has not fought in over two years and the last time he did fight he was TKO'd against Kevin McBride.  I think that for anyone to call themselves the champ, they have to beat the number one guy first, and currently the number one guy is Klitschko.

Answer 13

lol if it happened again Tyson going to bite something thats more important than hollyfields ear,

Wish Tyson could fight like he used to :(

Answer 14

The more I think about this fight, the worse I feel about it.

Answer 15

neither are current belt holders they are both former heavyweight champions. therefore they couldn't be fighting for any title.

not only that but Tyson doesn't deserve this fight as he is a scumbag, and both are too old to be boxing. if they let this happen and one of them gets hurts the boxing commission will have blood on their hands.

Answer 16

yea definetely. but they are both getting old and i don't know this match can happen or not..

Answer 17

I thought all the champions were russians. If the winner beat a Klitchko or 2 they can be unified champ but not until then. p.s. They should both have quit about 5 years ago.
