I'm locking this thread now, thanks for those who voted on the this poll.

It's pretty obvious that there are more people that are willing to support this great cause. Kudos to you. And the best thing to do is wait if this match will come into fruition.

I'd love to see Tyson vs Mayweather, even at two different weight classes. I honestly think it would be a competitive fight.

That would be a WWE fight if it ever happened. If they really wanted to make a fight like that, they better go for the Manny Pacquiao Vs May Weather fight. We are talking about two heavyweight legends here, the best fighter at their time and to see that fight again is truly amazing. No one has ever thought that this fight would gonna happen in the future. I hope this fight will bring its purpose in a satisfying result without anyone hurt.

satisying result ? that sounds like they will make the fight realistic but this leads to injury if thats what you wanted or thats what they wanted rather . thats okay as long as this is the only way to make the crowd happy or the ticket buyers happy , we wont know maybe those people will give extra tips that could help more for thier chosen charity just because they love the fight shown by legend boxers . manny vs mayweather is also a good re match and i see many people look forward for it to happen

Neither should be fighting imo. Both are old AF! Sad seeing old past it fighters still fighting.

Age isn't a problem. They have a good reason to make this fight happen and it won't happen if there's no agreement and consent from both parties.
It's a show match up so there's no need to worry.

I'm sure it will push through because they have a market, both fighters although retired still has a lot of fans these are old and new fans who want to see if both fighters have it after more than 2 decades of not fighting, I wish both fighters luck, I'm sure it's going to be fun and entertaining for everyone involved.

It's fine as long as the organizer uses a proper safety measurement, like x rounds, x minutes, and x pounds gloves, etc. It's similar to football legend exhibition matches. Well, some of the legends still competitive despite their age. See how Scholes and Beckham played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vbfI99IsAY

Yep, it would be more like a mismatch

It is highly unlikely that Tyson and Holyfield have been degrading equally all these years. At their age 4 years of difference may prove critical, and Tyson will happily and easily take Holyfield out, friends or no friends (probably, the second), unless the latter pulls off something really foul which the former will be completely unprepared for. In this fashion, Holyfield "The Real Deal" will likely back out from the real deal if he feels he is not up to snuff

If you are going by the short clip Tyson released then anyone could assume that Tyson could fight Holyfield and can defeat him easily. I have not seen any recent clips from Holyfield but to fight for real even for charity is a hard task for anyone above 50 years. So i do not think this will be a simple KO victory for Tyson if he is really facing Holyfield as he does have a good defense and if you are in shape you can avoid the initial burs and that will tire Tyson out

In fact, that's not what I mean

That's not about Tyson at all. I'm sure that Mike is ready to fight Holyfield even if it means chewing off his other ear or what's left of the first, or if he is not physically fit for the fight. He was always quick on the trigger, and I don't think anything has changed in this regard since his professional boxing days

What I actually mean is that it is Holyfield who will likely try to weasel out of his commitment to the fight (if there was a commitment in the first place) when he sees that Tyson will beat the shit out of him in the ring. Regardless, I don't think he takes Tyson's so-called "friendship" for real

It will not be a simple fight but a great fight with two great boxing legends and for a good cause. Either one can win.
This is a newer clip from Holyfield. https://twitter.com/holyfield/status/1267494899185790978?s=20

But seriously, what's the point if they are not going to fight for real?

Yeah, both are professional boxers and world legends, I'm very sure, they will continue to fight with the rest of their abilities at this time. Even though this is only a charity event and not a competition, it doesn't mean that they have fictitious matches that can make the audience disappointed. However, there is no reason to do so. Because the more they show seriousness, then the audience will assume that the match is the worst match

should be as friendly as possible and there should be absent of competitiveness to the point that they can harm each other

How could a boxing legend do such a thing? it's impossible if in this match there isn't a single player who didn't get hurt or didn't hurt each other. even though there were no points in this match, their status as legends would certainly make them fight it out

Fighters are mellowed by time and Tyson and Holyfield are two fighters that can prove this, I don't think they will throw away their friendship they've nourished that over the years and besides charity events should be as friendly as possible and there should be absent of competitiveness to the point that they can harm each other

And what's the point then?

But seriously, what's the point if they are not going to fight for real? People remember Tyson as a ferocious fighter with ears bitten off and opponents brought down, and they expect that from him. People know Holyfield as a dirty player, and, unsurprisingly, they hope to see even more foul from him in the ring. Personally, I'm not interested in a Tyson vs Holyfield fight where they don't live up to these expectations. Otherwise, they could just stay at home and keep posing on camera and posting their training routines. Let's get real here

Though they have already retired in boxing but they were once both professional, and they know how to do their job in the ring, while outside the right they can still maintain their friendship. There is no assurance yet that this fight but be a success but expect this one is not gonna be expensive as its just a short fight and the purpose is just for charity.

If Tyson and Holyfield are smart they would do like Floyd Mayweather, go to Japan and find a small fighter that never boxed and jump around the ring when they land a punch and the audience will be happy and they can earn millions without breaking a sweat Cheesy

. Tyson and Holyfield should follow Floyd when doing business rather than going for challenges at this age.

they don't need that gear IMO because they're s real fighter and very professional boxer above the ring.

They are both former professional boxers.
Yeah, you see some videos of them training hard and looking fit but are they really fit to fight?
When was the last time they entered the ring and fought for real?

Quote from: Ararbermas on June 02, 2020, 11:25:59 PM

In fact if it's true that the fight will last in 3rd round no need to worry. Because it's just a short time for them. Unlike when they were active which the fight always took 12 rounds before it ends. So 3rd round is so easy for them.

I am pretty sure you have seen boxers getting knocked out in the first round.
If they are going to throw fake and weak punches, this will be easy for them for sure.

That is good nostalgia for boxing fans. Imagine Mike Tyson, 53 years of age will fight Evander Holyfield, much older than him at 57 years old. If that is a 3 round fight as most are saying, then that would an interesting 3 rounds of fighting between champions. And aside from charity, imagine what it would look like in the betting arena's. It would be massive! Fiat or bitcoin or any cryptocurrency bets would be off and would hopefully since most are at home, it will be a test on all online systems where there is no need for one to go out to bet.

I honestly do not want to see this happen in public for charity amd entertainment. They're old but both guys are probably still competitive and heavy hitters. One punch to the head or body could instantly end the fight. They better be wearing some protective gears.

they don't need that gear IMO because they're s real fighter and very professional boxer above the ring. In fact if it's true that the fight will last in 3rd round no need to worry.

Lennox would dispatch them both in a heartbeat

It depends upon the physical condition each fighter is, Tyson looked good after weeks of hard work and i do not think Lennox is even doing any kind of workout and the pandemic has given them motivation to make their life better and wanted to help the poor and that is what they are telling from the start. Tyson wanted to do a charity match and Holyfield also expressed his desire to do a charity event.

Quote from: deisik on June 02, 2020, 12:04:56 PM

Unlike Holyfield and Tyson, who still look like they have something to tell each other on the canvas, he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone, and especially to these two losers (from his point of view)

Tyson and Holyfield does not have to prove anything else, even if they fight for charity i do not seen them coming back to take their head off as they are friends now.

Though I'm almost certain that he will never step into the ring again (for a brawl) unless he is offered a fat paycheck, like a very, very fat one. He had been wise enough to call off his agreement to a rematch with the elder Klichko as he was obviously past his prime too and got tired from boxing. All in all, I think he is quite happy with his life in retirement. Unlike Holyfield and Tyson, who still look like they have something to tell each other on the canvas, he doesn't have anything to prove to anyone, and especially to these two losers (from his point of view)

I don't think the boxing match will be between these two. Holyfield is clearly in massively worse shape than Tyson, and I'm sure he knows this. He will get mauled

I haven't been following either so I can't say anything in this regard

But don't forget that he has three fists, and he has a spare ear as well, so it remains to be seen who will do better in the ring. Moreover, Holyfield won't put on boxing gloves unless he has a couple tricks up his sleeve and a few aces in his hole. Tyson vs Mayweather, in my opinion, is even more fantastic than a rematch between Lennox and Holyfield, and for essentially the same reason, which is Money. Floyd is even more avaricious than Lewis. But you already know that
