He has no conditioning any more. It's a shame because if you look at him, you can see that he has no problem getting muscular, so losing muscle isn't the problem.

His mind is the problem. He won't train. He fires managers who tell him to train too much. He admitted that he doesn't even keep track of the sport any more. He just wants to collect a paycheck so he can spend it. He just drank and snorted his fortune away, and refuses to train. He lost the desire, and that' it.

He says he is done now, but his creditors will remind him that he owes them $40 million. He'll surely be back again, at least a few more fights.

Yup.

It's a shame, too, because you can tell that Tyson really doesn't want to fight. He doesn't train seriously, and as a result he has no endurance anymore. He goes for the KO and then gets winded. He admitted in the interview that he hasn't kept track of the sport in years and has no idea who any of the new fighters are.

Drinking and partying don't increase your endurance. If Tyson WANTED to become a great boxer again he could have, but that requires year-round training, which he has no desire to do. But no, his creditors just prop him up in the ring and snatch the money that he owes them.

Tyson was like a wild horse with enormous potential. It took a special trainer to control him. Once that trainer died, the horse returned to the wild and became wasted potential again.

91TTZ- You're hittin it. Guy need to be running 15 miles a day and he'd be back... but his mind is so fusked up it won't allow him. Looks like a bloated slow powerlifter.. Guy needs ZERO weight training just roads and bags. I would feel sorry for him if he had'nt be such a asshole when he was on top. He's done. Not the heart or the mind.

You guys want to see how messed up tysons head is you should watch " Beyond the Glory" Hear him talking in that you'll see Tyson is crazy, stupid, sad individual who hates himself.

Yup. He's not fighting now because he wants to, but rather, because he has to. Poor guy. Tyson can lose all his remaining fights and people will still pay to watch him, just for his legend as the once most feared fighter on the planet.

White trash and thugs who know nothing about boxing hoping he can relive his glory days. They pay Simple as that. Mike was devestating under 21. Even 21-25 he faught nobodies, ducked the best, before getting jacked by another tomato in Japan. So it's really more like 17 years he's been nothing.

ESPN.com said he was winning on two of the three cards when he quit.

Tyson, who was incredibly winning on two of the three scorecards even with the deductions. He led 57-55 on two while McBride was ahead 57-55 on the other.

Crazy end to a crazy career.

He quit because he clearly wasn't going to make it through the next round, thus his lead up to that point was meaningless. He barely made it through the 6th round, resorting to arm bars and head butts.

yup... he lost 2 pts that round, so his lead is questionable. also, he was getting gassed big time... he'd come out with a few bombs to open the round, but mcbrides plan was probably to weather that storm and take over near the end of the rounds.

Yup, his endurance was done. He would have been a punching bag in the next round.
