What the hell is Tyson on???

[rugger]

Rugger, I think Tyson's rape charges were questionable. Regardless, my point was not that Tyson was a victim, but that the only reason he ever lost against Holyfield and especially Buster Douglas is because of the problems in his personal life.

I'll buy that.
Just don't go feeling sorry for the bastard.

No you have quite the imagination to even be pretending you know what the hell you are talking about. Have you ever even seen a Tyson fight? His holyfield matches don't count. And ofcourse Tyson would knock out spiderman or heman in the ring if he was in his prime fighting condition. Spiderman would last all of 40 seconds, heman would probably go aout 3-5 rounds before a TKO was called.

No way, Spiderman would whoop Tyson's ass. Come on Spidey is crazy fast and can lift 10 tons and has fought the HULK. Now surely you are not implying that Tyson hits harder than the HULK? Are you? Cause if you are you will make me angry, and trust me, you WILL NOT LIKE ME ANGRY!!

M56M, there's a lot of good fighters around nowadays, I wouldn't say that no one on this board could beat him. In a boxing match, Tyson would put me into a coma in about 1/4 second, but if it were street I think I have enough experience to give him a respectful run for his money. I know how to play my reach advantage, and he probably wouldn't know what to do with a good kicker or grappler. But MikeLong has a good point. No doubt that motherfucker has been in more than his share of street fights. Not to mention that he has a warrior mentality. And, I know that if he were to make chin contact, he would definately shatter me. As a fighter he has all my respect. I would fight him just because it would be a great challenge win or lose.

Tyson does have crazy amounts of talent, but put him in a UFC ring with Tito Ortiz and hed get taught a lesson.

I dont want to hear about your UFC shit, put anyone of the UFC guys in a boxing ring and see what happens.. its a different sport where they make pennies instead of millions... fuck UFC

Normally, I don't go off, so I apologize to the mods and everyone else, but...

bezerker, its not about money, its about skill and heart. Obviously neither of which you are familiar with. I train my ass off everyday in NHB, MMA. Boxing is a one dimensional sport, and NHB is the most intense test of your body, mind, and spirit you can deal with. My manager has fought in several UFCs and he has more heart than any fighter I've ever seen. Just as you mentioned UFC is for pennies for the boxers' millions. That just shows you that they have heart not greed. Don't disrespect the guys that train NHB you little twerp. Keep your mouth shut and Fuck you.

I'll knock that sissy Tyson in to tomorrow... I'll crush that bum..

uh...well...if i can catch him in a cross walk while I'm in my truck!!!

agreed........not too many people are going to strike with mike. But a grappler, I have to say, would probably make short work of him. I doubt Mike knows how to defend against the take down. A good wrestler who knows one or two "good" submission locks would probably not have too much of a problem. Just got too watch the initial take down, not let him hit you where it can do damage.

This is so true. He is an awsome boxer but in the world of MMX he would be nothing. Its been proven time and time again. lots of pro boxers have went down to tiny grapplers. Boxing is just one tool In MMX. Anyone with decent ground skills would own mike easily let alone a UFC, Pride, ect..... MMX fighter own boxers.

While I will give you the fact that many boxers do not do well in UFC. Mike Tyson is not just an average boxer, how many top Heavyweight boxers have you seeen fighting in the UFC???

As far as the other comments made earlier by others about Tyson's street fighting abilities. He grew up on the streets for many years. I'm sure he knows how to handle himself in that situation as well.

There was one well known street fight he got into with a former boxer by the name of Mitch Green whom he fought earlier in his career. Tyson hit the guy one time in a club and broke his nose and blackened the shit out of his eye and his cheek. The whole side of his face looked like it had been hit with a baseball bat. This was from one punch with no gloves on and this was thrown at a guy who was a top heavyweight boxer at that time. So you guys that say you can beat Mike Tyson's ass can hang it up, your just talking shit!!!

No heavyweight in the world ever has had as much raw talent as Tyson. No one could match his speed, strength, chin, or determination.

Rugger - I have to agree with BOT it's hard sometimes not to feel sorry for Tyson because practically everybody he has ever known with the exception of Cus D'amato has fucked him over because of who he is and his wealth! What Robin Givens did was inexcusable and it totally fucked his head up she even put him on some weird psychiatric drug which he didn't need so she could be in complete control She only had one thing in mind from the very start and that was to separate him from his money! As if that wasn't bad enough Don King's his promoter. DK must be one of the most obnoxious, odious and corrupt motherfuckers on the planet! Some people point to the fact that Tyson surrounds himself with hoods as evidence of what he's really like, but the reason he does this is because that is the world he knows instead of the world where he was being robbed blind by lawyers! To say his rape conviction was dodgy is an understatement - Desiree Washington went to his bedroom in the early hours or the morning and before she got on to the bed, went to the bathroom and removed her sanitary towel??? I'll bet that was also a nice little earner for her!
I know that Tyson is no angel but considering everything that has happened to him since the day he was born including the untimely death of his mentor and adoptive father it's little wonder that he is a wee bit unstable!
