| Member | Who thinks that Mike Tyson should actually be licensed to box again? I personally think he shouldn't he's had too many chances to prove himself and he just keeps screwing them up. He should be in jail where he can fight anyone he wants and make anyone his "bitch" as he would say. |

| Member | He will be licensed somewhere. A half blind Aaron Pryor got licensed and so did Jerry Quarry about a year before he died. Once Tyson is given the okay, Lewis can batter him and retire the sad fcuk. Hopefuly that will be the end of it and people will start talking about real fights like DeLa Hoya/Vargas and Barrerra/ Morales. |

| Member | Tyson gets license in D.C. (Feb 19) WASHINGTON (AP) - Mike Tyson was granted a boxing license by the D.C. Boxing and Wrestling Commission on Tuesday, setting the stage for a possible bout against world champion Lennox Lewis at the MCI Center in June. The three-member commission approved the licence by a 3-0 vote via conference call. "To say we are not concerned about his past would be disingenuous," vice-chairman Michael Brown said. "But we looked at the application on its face." Tyson has been looking for a boxing body - in the United States or abroad - that would permit him to fight Lewis for the WBC and IBF heavyweight titles. The bout was originally scheduled for April 6 in Las Vegas, but Nevada officials denied Tyson a licence after a melee with Lewis at a news conference last month. Tyson's past also includes a three-year prison sentence for rape, a one-year sentence for a road-rage assault and a one-year boxing suspension for biting Evander Holyfield's ears during a fight. Nevada police are currently investigating two sexual assault complaints against Tyson, although no charges have been filed. With Nevada out of the picture, Tyson's supporters have searched the world for potential venues. California, Texas, Michigan, Georgia, England, Denmark and the Netherlands are just some of the sites that have been floated, most without success. Georgia, for example, fell out of the running the moment Gov. Roy Barnes referred to Tyson as a "sexual predator." Washington Mayor Anthony Williams has said he would not object to Tyson fighting in the district if the commission gave its approval. Both Williams and Brown cited the economic impact the fight would bring. "Sept. 11 has changed a lot of things," Brown said. "A lot of hotel and restaurant people are out of work, and this fight would be helpful to the city." |
