Mike Tyson recently fought in Dallas, earning a significant payday. Despite his performance, Tyson's boxing legacy remains intact, unlike some of his peers who have faced criticism for continuing to fight at an older age. Former champions like Roy Jones Jr. and Evander Holyfield have struggled in their later bouts, raising concerns about their well-being. Holyfield's last fight in 2021 ended poorly, while Jones Jr. continues to seek opportunities despite his decline. Danny Williams, who once defeated Tyson, is still active in boxing at age 51, highlighting the risks some fighters take. While Tyson's reputation is safe, the ongoing careers of these boxers raise questions about their legacies and health.
