He's 27 or 28... that is getting pretty old for a sprinter, isn't it? Think he can PR through 2012? By then he'll be 30-31... That is a tall order. How old was Mo Green when he set the AR?

Mo ran his fastest 100m time at the age of 25 (1999). He stopped running professionally at the age of 30 (2004) I believe.
However, Michael Johnson set his WR in the 400m in 1999 at the age of 32, 200m WR at the age of 29 in 1996. He retired in 2000 at the age of 33.
If Tyson can stay healthy and motivated, he can compete at the 2012 Olympics (in being able to run and be competitive in the sprints).
It depends how much he is willing to do (wink, wink)
Carl Lewis PR'ed around age 32 and he was around for a while.
I think Mike Tyson is retired now. Also, it is not called PR'ing in the sport of boxing. In boxing the athletes fight for the championship belt, they don't compete for a PR. But I think Tyson is past the days when he could challenge for the championship. So the answer to the question, 'How much longer can Tyson PR[sic]?' is, He can no longer PR he is retired.
Tyson Gay already is a world record holder. It would be cool to see him take the world record down to about 9.65 though.
Yeah, he's the clean one.
9.65???????????Eh that wouldn't give him the world record. You must mean the American RecordAnd Tyson has never been a world record holder

Mo Greene had a traffic accident and wasn't the same after that.
