Watching this video of Tyson's climb to the top, made me want to create this section
And since Tyson now is 50 years of age plus, fitting he should be on here.
When he was beginning his journey of boxing terror, I was still in high school, I don't think I really started paying attention to him until the Larry Holmes fight.
Also, to this day, I wonder how different things would of turned out for him had he not lost to Buster Douglas.
Anyways, more boxing stuff to follow as time allows.

Also, according to ESPN, Evander Holyfield plans on returning to the ring again  www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/31239583/evander-holyfield-returning-ring-exhibition-fight-vs-kevin-mcbride-june-5 At age 58 is this a wise idea?...I mean Tyson just fought a exabition fight, so why not Holyfield? 58 and still has the spirit to box, maybe that's not a bad thing, at least body knows you still want to live, and training always gives you a reason to live. But last time I heard Holyfield speak on camera, years ago, dudes speech was slurred, I thought by now he would of developed Parkinson's or something. In the ESPN link above there's video of him shadow boxing in the ring...watch and decide for yourself. I guess when I'm 58 can only hope body still in condition that would allow me to box.

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr, exhibition fight, both fighters over the age of 50!
I'm not a pro fighter, so I can never get how fighters can be friends before a fight, tear each other apart in the ring, then back to being close friends after the match.
I just never understood that.
That aside, two legends battle it out, after the age of 50.
I think Tyson was 51, and Jones was 54?
