I looked at that picture for a while, and all I could think of was a line that I think I read somewhere... `Time makes fools of us all'.

Hey! I wonder if Mike is into Kenpo now. It looks very similar to the "kenpo paunch/ chi belly" one acquires after years of intense study.
Ouch! Lots of him to love now, though.
Just don't say no, even if he invites you to his hotel room just to "hang out"...

:lol: I nearly choked on my coffee...
But seriously, when I saw that picture it made me think about how such a great boxer fell so hard. Sad really.

My first thought is that it might be photoshopped.
Any chance of that, you think? Does it have any suspicious visual features that might suggest that? I know nothing about digital photographic magic; that possibility didn't occur to me...

I really don't think it's photo shopped. That was my first though because I couldn't believe Mike would let himself get so out of shape. I guess a rematch with Holyfield is out of the question.

Same thing happened with Buster Douglas after his mindbending upset match with Tyson. Guy went completely to seed... and for some reason, a boxer who goes to seed really does it 100%; he was looking absolutely grotesque a year or so after that match.
At this point, Tyson vs. Holyfield is... well, EH is gonna be too busy dodging the drug investigation, and MT too busy getting his blood pressure out of aneurysm range (judging by the look of him in that pic), to have time to mix it up with each other!

Either he's been at it in secret or he took a super intensive course because he definitely has the paunch of a master.

In Buster Douglas' case, he's diabetic, and between the laziness, his lack of any serious training, and his rotten eating habits, he ballooned to well over 400 lbs.
The last I saw, Tyson was a healthy man (in body, not in mind), so it can only really be attributed to his lousy habits, and not insulin mismanagement!
Ah, that explains much. I hadn't realized that Douglas was diabetic. Diabetes is horrible at the best of times. I felt very bad for the guy at the timehe clearly had a hard time coping with the ferocious media attention and unexpected fameand the business about diabetes puts an addition poignant spin on his life.
With Tyson... well, the less said the better, maybe...
