    Agreed on celebs. Get people who the general public thinks know how to fight because of their physique or tough talk. Then let Mike push their shit in. While it's good to know Tyson was in good enough shape to last the distance, i think everybody would love to see him knock somebody senseless. People would be more willing to fork over some cash if they an exciting KO.

    He should fight celebrities. No holding back no scripts no bullshit. Skill and experience vs youth. That way it will be fair.

    Who wouldn't pay to watch Mike ko cardi B or justin Timberlake

    Maybe Mike should start with the DAZN team. Wreck em all in one night.

    Fight Todd Grisham in the first fight. The Latin Fake in the co-main. And Chris Mannix in the main event.

    I'd pay over $100 to see that.

    The problem is people like that would just hit the canvas or feign injury the moment they got hit even if they didn't get hit that hard. You need people who at a minimum won't take an obvious dive.

    Bowe

    Since Jake Paul is already 2-0, use him as a rebound opponent for Triple D instead

    Oh ya that's very likely. They wanted to box for like 10 years now. Probably on a Tyson undercard

    Mike's Looking for GENTLEMANLY Competition These Days, w/Out Anyone Getting Hurt/Embarrassed in the Process...Holyfield Would DEVIATE from the Script and Make a FIGHT Out of It, a Fight Mike Probably COULDN'T Win...

    Mike vs. "Tough Guys" in Other Sports (MMA, Rugby, Hockey, etc.) Will Sell and Add a Worldly/International Vibe...

    I'm thinking a T-Rex. (the animal, not Sanders)

    Tyson wouldn't even need Kevin Rooney as this would be the one matchup in which he wouldn't have a reach disadvantage. It's probably hard to source a real live T-Rex though.

    michael Jai white, that guy talks a lot of trash, talking about "teaching" Johnny Bones jones a few things, and sparring with UFC guys and how his striking is the best..
    I'd like to see Tyson STRETCH him

    I like Jai White. He's been in a few fun films, especially Black Dynamite, which is a cult classic.

    REED's Seen Quite a Few Michael Jai-White Interviews on VladTV...

    Cool Dude, Not Arrogant But Definitely CONFIDENT In Himself...REED's Heard Jai Talk About "Platinum" Mike Perry NOT Being on the Level of Strikers he Routinely Spars w/, How Suge Knight Seemed LEERY Approaching him One Day, etc...

    He Can Definitely Be Construed as "Bragging", but Jai Recollects His Stories in a Matter of Fact, "Go Verify if You Want" Type of Way...He DOES Name Drop a Lot, But That Would Make it That Much Easier to Call BULLSHIT On His Claims, Which REED Doesn't Recall Ever Happening...

    w/That Said, it IS Strange for a Guy to Train in Various Disciplines, SPAR w/World Class Guys, Yet Have NO Desire Whatsoever to Actually COMPETE Under the Lights...

    And for That Reason, REED Agrees w/You; It'd Be Intriguing to See Jai in an Exhibition...

    I don't watch many VladTV interviews. Vlad is an insufferable, culture vulture piece of shit, and the day someone guns him down will be a fine day.

    REED Can Only Stomach But Soooooo Many Himself...

    Jai-White, Lord Jamar, Godfrey, Luenell, John Salley...People that Won't Allow Vlad to Steer the Interview Out of THEIR Control, Necessarily...

    Yes, he's the ULTIMATE Culture Vulture...

    I saw Godfrey live at a comedy club in Jerz about 10 years ago.

    Very funny cat.

    Going back to Vlad, and related to Jersey, Joe Budden was the first one to call out what a culture vulture, exploitative faggot Vlad is - this was years ago.

    Since then, more and more artists/celebrities have become hip to his game.
