13. The Comeback
The last time Tyson fought was in 2005 when the Irish journeyman Kevin McBride defeated him. However, at the age of 54, he decided to return against Roy Jones Jr. ‘Iron Mike’ wanted to raise money for charity so he got himself into ridiculous shape for the exhibition bout.

Check out the clip above of Tyson hitting pads in his preparation for the match. The Brooklyn native only knows one way to win and that’s by knockout. Even so, it’s remarkable that after so long, Tyson has recaptured the fire that made him a superstar.
