Mike Tyson looked a husk of his once-destructive self at 38, don’t bother 58, with his 2005 loss by journeyman Kevin McBride belatedly bringing the drape down on his profession. It is why the extremely idea of him dealing with a 27-year-old, albeit a You Bulb and family member newbie as a fighter, appears reckless, verging on hazardous.
