Tyson confident despite career being on the line

 NEW YORK (AP) -- Mike Tyson still believes he's the best fighter in the world, and predicts he'll never be better than he will be in his rematch against Evander Holyfield on May 3.
 Holyfield also expects Tyson to be better, but, "I'm confident that I can go out and do the same thing."
 Tyson was a 3-1 favorite to win the rematch, which could set up a rich rubber match. A loss, however, could end Tyson's career. It certainly would severely damage it economically.
 "You tell me," Tyson said Monday when asked what a loss would do to his career.
 The 30-year-old Tyson was 7-1 favorite when Holyfield, 34, won the WBA heavyweight title by stopping Tyson in the 10th round Nov. 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, also site of the rematch.
 There definitely will be one difference between the two fights. This time, Holyfield's guarantee for the pay-per-view match will be $35 million instead of $11 million. Tyson, who earned $30 million for the first fight, will have to settle for a minimum of $20 million this time.
 "I'm going to win the title for a third time," Tyson said at a news conference to formally announce the rematch. "I just had a bad night. I'm the best fighter in the world. If he beats me this time, he'll beat me at the best I've ever been.
 "I'm looking for a knockout."
 One of Tyson's problems in preparing for the first fight, co-manager John Horne said, was that hardly anybody saw Holyfield "as no real threat to Mike Tyson. Nobody took him seriously."
 Richie Giachetti has replaced Jay Bright as Tyson's trainer.
 There was a lot of trash talk by the Tyson camp before the first fight. Everyone was respectful Monday.
 Tyson thanked Holyfield for giving him the chance. Holyfield thanked Tyson for having given him a chance so that he could give Tyson a chance.
 "The Sound and the Fury" is what promoter Don King is calling the rematch. At times Monday, it seemed a better name might be "Hearts and Flowers."
