no he's not good enough, but he can still sell more PPV's than any top heavyweight as we speak on his name alone. I mean c'mon, he had a training session in Vegas last week and there was almost a fire code violation in the building.

AbsoluteMart ~
People paid to watch a "Geek" eat a live chicken, why wouldn't they pay to watch the self-proclaimed "Baddest man on the Planet" try to knock someones head off their shoulders? Mike's become a side show so to speak. He could easily garner up probably record numbers compared to today's lot of "Heavyweight Champions" He's just a mere curiosity that's all. The Answer to your question is "YES" he most definitely could, but for all the wrong reasons.

You mean popular enough, right? PPV is not about ability, its about popularity. And I will say this because it is fact: If Tyson ever fights again, it will be on PPV. Trust me on that.

You're kidding me, right? Tyson got the hell beaten out of him by Kevin McBride at the MCI Center (now the Verizon Center) and he retired.

No mike is washed up like Ali vs Holmes.
And late note another subject but James toney got robbed against peter he really won that fight. Toney fought a hell of a fight thanks to bullshit coporate america toney didn't get that decision because they don't like his mouth because he is know to throw a few f bombs in his interviews and say a word that starts with s and ends with t.

He hasnt been in like 10 years or something, he never did beat a quality opponent. Watch the fight with him and Buster Douglas. He got beat like a red headed step child.

Well he lost his mind, good trainers, physical abilities ect, so I would say no. He was a great draw in the past, but his words and attitude got to be a turn-off, and now he cant fight.

yea, there are a lot of dumbasses out there willing to fork $50 to watch him fight. instead of paying $10-$20 to watch some good local upandcoming boxers.

No Mike is not even close to being good enough any more. Now "entertaining" enough is a different story...
