Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3120788, member: 2290"] I don’t see how I’m being silly. That’s the exact language I’m taking issue with regarding everyone assuming Tyson is a sure thing. I’m being silly because a former great drug addict who was already heavily on the decline before he hit 30 and has been completely inactive in the 20 years since will struggle big time against even an average fighter 20 years his junior who has been fairly consistently training, fighting, and keeping healthy. This is not a wild claim by any means. Also I think the hypothetical AFL player in your example smokes Mal’s old ass. So much so that it probably isn’t a fair comparison to Tyson’s comeback. I think people are getting too caught up in hype and nostalgia.For what it’s worth Tyson is probably my favourite athlete of all time. [automerge]1589165640[/automerge] Why exactly? I watched it live and again since. Because it was cut short by 2 rounds? If SBW is such a flop why did Botha have to plan to use the entire 12 rounds and try and win on points through pure experience? [/QUOTE]
