Indisputably. I mean, he basically lost 5 or 6 years between prison and suspensions, is 34 or so now, and can only look forward to 2-3 years more, if history is any guide.

What can that translate to? 3-5 more fights?

Plus, although I would...and will, if the time comes...pick Tyson over Rahman, he would be well-advised to watch Rahman-Tua; Rahman was beating Tua until a late punch put him down at the end of the 11th round. Rahman wouldn't be bullied, made Tua fight backwards, and lead him around like a matador, circling and dodging.

Comparisons between Tua and Tyson bear far less fruit these days than they did up until maybe 1999. Rahman is a slow starter and I think Tyson would pour it on thick(ly) in the first 3 rounds.
