Your scenario is plausible. The question is how long does this take? Tyson ain't getting any younger either.

Statement released by Mike Tyson, Sunday 22 April 2001:

(as reported by Tom Casino@Showtime Boxing)

I would like to congratulate Hasim Rahman on becoming the heavyweight champion of the world last night. Mr. Rahman displayed the courage of a true champion and prepared very well for his fight against Lennox Lewis. I also accept his challenge and will fight him anywhere to make my dream of regaining the undisputed heavyweight championship a reality.

I would be thrilled to become the heavyweight champion again, fifteen years after I was crowned the first time. I understand that Mr. Rahman is not bound by any of the obligations that kept the former heavyweight champion and myself from getting it on, so I look forward to the challenge becoming a reality in the very near future.

Mike Tyson
