The last time we saw Mike Tyson, aside from his one punch knockdown of a cameraman at LAX, was in 2005, when he was stopped in the 6^th round by a boxer who calls himself  Kevin McBride. Tyson might as well have fought Bake McBride. Not sure he would have done any better against the slender former major league outfielder. Now, comes word that the one-time baddest man on the planet, is talking about a comeback with Don King in his corner.  Who said Tyson has a tendency to self-destruct?  Ringsidereport..com recently reported that King has a tentative deal to get Tyson back in the ring for a third fight with Evander Holyfield.  While King told ESPN.com that such a rematch isn’t in the works, he didn’t rule out a Tyson comeback, saying, “I ain’t ready to comment on that. Read between the lines. It really is something isn’t it, all the interest there is in Mike Tyson?” Yes, Don, there’s tremendous interest in seeing a washed up, overweight heavyweight, who’s lost 3 of his last 4 fights, and who quit in his last bout because of  ‘’exhaustion.’’  To make this comeback, Iron Mike would need to become iron dependent.  Tyson says, ‘’I would need to work really hard and take a lot of vitamins because I’m fat.’’ Too bad for Mike, if he were to hook up again with King, the one thing that would never get fat is his wallet. Tyson is too old and slow to duck punches from a quality fighter, but he’s plenty quick enough to elude the 78 year old King. Don’t do it Mike.  You need this comeback like Kirstie Alley needs a ring ding.
