He was running up Desert Inn Ave and looking to get back in shape. I called a buddy who knows him and supposedly he's gearing up for a new reality type show which is in negotiation kinda like tuffman. Since everyone has said that they would fight Mike Tyson for a million bucks, he's willing to take that bet! Infact, the show is supposed to pay 1 million to anyone who can beat him! I'm sure it will be boxing rules and no pros/amatuers! Tyson has agreed to do up to 5 fights a night with three, 3 minute rounds!
Does anyone on here now think they can take him?
-
no
-
;D
-
I can.
-
I can.
Are you willing to go on the show if it happens? If so let me know...my buddy is friends with him so we can make it happen for sure... ;)
-
I think I can beat mike tyson
-
no
But Mishko (Milos) on Roid Rage could kick his ass....
especially if Iron Mike says that he didn't repay his debt to him
-
Where the hell is Flex Wheeler when we need him or Chris Cormier? Anybody....
-
I believe some of the people on here believe they can ;D

100% YES!
-
100% YES!
Done...I already made the call! You could be the first one bro!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Marius Pudzianowski?
You would think being THAT damn strong that it wouldn't exactly be a walk in the park for Tyson to take him.
In all seriousness does anybody who is not a pro fighter really think they can beat Tyson?
Not advisable with that fruitcake.
Sounds to me like we may have a death on our hands.
-
Done...I already made the call! You could be the first one bro!!! ;D ;D ;D
Great keep me update. I am serious I will do it.
-
Man what a genius idea for a show!
-
I will be a millionair!!!!!!!! How many times could I kick his ass?
-
Doesn't anybody here keep up? They announced the Mike Tyson World Tour a few months ago. He is fighting a series of 4-round exhibitions all across the globe. It starts this Friday night in Youngstown Ohio and is available on PPV for $29.95. Here is the link for my fellow boxing fans: http://www.ufcfightnews.com/tysonworldtour/ (http://www.ufcfightnews.com/tysonworldtour/)

i never had that game. goodwill never stocked fighting games cause nobody ever donated them.

I would absolutely fight him. The money and bragging rights would be too much to pass up.

ahahahaha....woops!
-
I dont know if i can beat him. But i would fight him in a boxing match for free. Sure i'd take the million dollars if i beat him. I would just like the opportunity to try and fight him, its a once in a lifetime opportunity. I guaruntee i could last more than a round with him. Keep in mind this is Tyson now, not 15 years ago.

of course no one could take him here and 99.99999999% of the rest of the world couldn't do it either in boxing rules...You would have a better chance at winning the lottery...However its been said that anyone over 200 pounds can knock anyone out with a lucky punch...
-
Im definitely no hero or tough guy...but I would do it in a heartbeat. Be like jumpin outta a plane for the first time watchin Iron Mike come at ya like a pitbull
thats extreme sports right there
-
Is this really gonna happen? Mike deserves a lot of respect, but I am willing to say that many might take a shot at the money...could be fun?
-
you guys do know that iron mike looks old and slow against very good fighters in later rounds.
In a 3 round match against a regular joe lunchbox with joe lunchbag stamina, tyson would probably break some ribs, give you a concussion, split your face up, and generally make you look and feel awful.
Most of us untrained fighers don't do things like guard constantly. The first sliver of daylight, Mike will take it and the next thing you know, you're waking up on the mat.
-

Then I guess you will not have a problem accomplishing this "task".

You have to win to collect the money, not get your ass kicked. read the rules skinny. And one shot to your body would make you bend like a pretzel. It would be funny to hear a guy your height crying on National TV. Go for it.

I never cry. Even when faced by a bear I do not cry and weep like a little 6'1" 300 pound samoan.
-
Unless someone has a lot of experience fighting in the ring, they have no business going up against Mike Tyson. 99% of people on this forum would not be able to defend themselves for a round.
-

No, boxing requires actual skill. It's not like bodybuilding where you take a magic beanstalk pill and put on 40lbs of lean mass.
-
True, Tyson is one of the best ever. It raises questions why he would even fight some mere mortal. I think that someone who is CRAZY and really needs the money might knock his ass out flat...
-
I could make him cry ;D

He is crazy and needs the money. And no amateur will beat him.
-
I can assure you that I will be one of the ones to fight him.
Perhaps Romano can support me in this endeavour as well.
-
Someone post me the link of how I can sign up to fight Iron Mike.
I have seen the tomato cans that beat Mike. LOL. I don`t think he would make it past round 6. Call me Crazy but if I can last 6 rounds, its over.

Hey Gollum, there's no "Code of Doello, circa 1777" in a fight with Tyson. You don't get to assign a second.

Very Funny with the golem pic. At one time Mike was the pinnacle of greatness, but not anymore. I may lose, but I would not go down and I would definitely give Mike something he would never forget.

Let me get this straight, you won't fight that other dude instead using some moronic rule in the "Code of Doello, circa 1777" to put a substitute in your place but we're supposed to believe you will fight Mike Tyson?
LOL, are you feeling lightheaded from blowing up your Jezebelle doll?

I WOULD fight Mike Tyson and when it comes time for the show I am going to try. I will prove to you all just what determination and unrelentlessness can accomplish.
I am dead serious and am going to keep tabs on this show. I have the right mindset to win.

Stop with the promises of what you're going to do in the future. You still in haven't made good on about 50 promises that you've made. When are you going to realize that doesn't work as a stalling technique?
Oh, and how are those pictures coming of your hair combed back?

Its a shame you lack the physical attributes... :-\

I watched Tyson work the heavy bag in the summer of 96' at Paco's in Vegas. Saw him work for 6-8 rounds.
Listen and listen good; nobody on this site would have stepped in the ring with that man (you may have wanted to, but your legs would not have carried you through the ropes when the time came). He had a 110 pound heavy bag rockin' & reelin' like a feather pillow. From across the gym, it sounded like someone was hitting the bag with a sledge hammer. When you stood 10-12' away, you felt the ground shake and thunderous vibration actually drove you away from the area. Insane.
In 2006... who knows.
-

Heck, get iron mike off zoloft and vagina for a week and I'd put money on him to knock out most pro boxers in round 1.
-
The production company will of course have liability concerns, so the use of oversized head gear and gloves will be a must for every match. It won't be as thrilling as you might think.
By the way, an experienced, trained fighter of any caliber will beat the living shit out of an untrained fat-mouthed smartass - especially when there are ring rules involved.
-
Hasn't Tyson signed for Pride in Japan?
Damn I'd love to see him in that. Id pay to see him taken to the mat and ground and pounded.

Sat in the 5th row with the casino owners when he fought Frank Bruno. It was unreal when Tyson would land a punch. you could not only hear it but just about feel it. For sure Mike is nothing like before but very easy to say NO amatuer would come close to beating him. He still owes the IRS lots of money so I am sure allot of this is to generate some income for himself. His house was beautiful in Vegas. He had a condo at the Marmont(?) in BH where I had to go pick up a picture of him with my uncle that was blown up into poster size and framed. Back then he was so quiet and shy. At least in private
-
My boy Valentino & Bob Bonham had a run in with Mike Tyson and his crew a few years ago at a diner in Manhatten. Its a great story, I think gregg wrote about it in his column.They are friends now.
-
Markus Ruhl vs Mike tyson....
-
it would be very funny to watch some 250lb bodybuilder hop in the ring with even this version of tyson.
you will very quickly find out that all that muscle is going to be a curse. you will be stiff as a board and the 80lb of extra muscle you've attached to 170lb body is about as useful as an ash tray on a motor bike in the ring and it's going to sap your stamina very quickly.
the big pity about it is that nobody is going to let you get in the ring with a guy like this. i think it's a pity because a lot of your deluded egos would be deflated in a heartbeat. you would learn a powerful lesson in humility if you weren't seriously fucked up in the process.
i think you'd have to, at least, get your pro ticket before they even thought about this so that would mean you'd have to go to a gym, spar and fight some first. that process would cancel out 99.99% of you right there. any serious trainer would tell you to get off the gear and drop about 100lb of bloated tissue before he even looks at you.
no offence against those with massive strong physiques. i really do respect your accomplishments and i love weight training myself, but please stick to what you do best. you'll only embarrass yourself.
btw, i know marius used to box ams, but now the guy can't even thrown a right hand. far too muscle bound. tyson couldn't miss, plenty of body and zero defence, massive chest and lats mean he can't cover head and body.
tyson will be very hard to stop within 3, especially with all the shit on. he will have a lot of fun with this and he won't have to worry about anyone. no one's winning a decision with a mill at stake.
-
team goodbum-2007 baby111 all the way!!!
-
Maybe Cormier would like another chance at him unlike the last time when Tyson embarrassed him.
then again...who wouldnt back down to Tyson

Of course! ;D Do you know the code for Ikari Warriors?
Up Up, Down Down, Left Right Left Right, B, A, B, A, Select, Start.

That has to be the most delusional thing I have ever seen here. Do you actually believe the shit you spew out?
You last 6 rounds with Tyson and I will give you $1000. Take it with the million you will surely win and blow it on hair gel
You are a fucking clown

the sad thing is that I really think he believes all the garbage that comes out of his mouth. I always thought he was joking aroundk but when I saw him in a picture with Ronnie Coleman wearing his "Team Adonis" shirt he had made up.....it was confirmed he has real issues. Its only going to be a matter of time when we see him on the 6oclock news shooting at school kids from some tower.

up up, down down, left right, left right, A B , start

Tyson would hit Adonis once and he would break into a million pieces.
That being accomplished....he would proceed to bang Jezebelle in the ass right in the middle of the ring.
-
I think that Tyson is being ridiculous. He should respect his own career and image, and not being another evening show clown!
He wants action, so go to UFC, and there is real action!

Never would he lay hand or finger upon Jezbelle.

Why?Would she burst?

A few years ago there where talks about a hilarious Tyson reality show. It was where a some guy would have to have to be hand cuffed to Tyson for a week. They where much larger hand cuffs, but the idea that the person had to go everywhere with Tyson without giving up.
-
TA with those ears of yours, Tyson would see you as nothing more than an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Tommy's one of the only replies that make sense. How many of you have been in a prize fighting ring? That's what I thought. I boxed armature and even though that was many years ago, I still know how dangerous a trained boxer is. Anyone who's never boxed, and you don't play boxing, you play football, basketball, but you don't play boxing. Alexx, don't talk nonsense. 1 short hook to the liver and you wouldn't know if you should shit or go blind. Go to a boxing gym and spar a few rounds, make that 1 session with a trained fighter. It will be the biggest mistake you will ever make. Your Hollywood carrear would be gone and you would be in a wheel chair. You got balls, but your brains are in the wrong place. And Tyson is even talking of fighting women. Anne Wolfe for 1 and she's kick anyone's ass, short of a seasoned pro.
GETTING OLD IN YOUNGSTOWN
Just when we thought Mike Tyson had thrown his last punch in anger, along comes the “world tour” he is launching on Oct. 20 – in Youngstown, Ohio, of all places.
Nothing against Youngstown, which I’m sure is a very nice place, but the rust-belt city hardly conjures images of jet-setting excitement usually associated with boxing superstardom. What’s next? Tyson appearances in Dubuque, Iowa, and Fort Smith, Ark.?
Then again, maybe the Tyson that now exists is no longer capable of pulling in the high rollers and beautiful people who flocked to his fights in glitzy casino venues when he was on top. The tired, poorly conditioned and unmotivated Tyson who announced his retirement after quitting on his stool against Irish journeyman Kevin McBride 16 months ago apparently still is tired, poorly conditioned and unmotivated.
In announcing his participation in the series of exhibition bouts being put together by longtime confidante Sterling McPherson, Tyson gets high marks for honesty, if nothing else.
“I think I’m useless to society,” Rusted-Iron Mike replied when asked if he is still relevant at age 40. “I don’t think I’m worthy of the people who come out to see me, but they do.”
Tyson also told The Associated Press in August that “I truly hate fighting” and that “the best decision I ever made was to retire from boxing,” statements which are sure to cause Sterling McPherson, who is promoting the series of exhibition bouts, to blanch.
As a selling point for those exhibitions, the first of which pits Tyson against a onetime sparring partner, Corey “T-Rex” Sanders, the former heavyweight champion’s pronouncements are akin to a restaurateur taking out ads to alert the public about the rat droppings the health department discovered in his pantry.
Tyson will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, probably on the first ballot, and I’ll vote for him on the basis of his accomplishments when he still gave a damn. But he pretty much stopped caring 10 or 12 years ago, and the fact that he can draw attention for bogus mini-bouts such as the one against Sanders – who is 6-foot-6 and listed at 300 pounds, although his actual weight is probably closer to that of a small SUV – is either an indication of his fans’ refusal to let go of the past, or an indictment of the current crop of heavyweights.
More’s the pity, but I’m thinking it’s probably a little bit of both.

If you listen very carefully, you can hear them sing: " I live for sucking dick, that's my goal in life, never mind for girls and never mind for wife...."

Tommywishbone is right. Adam, if you want to fight him you have my support. Just tell me where you want the pieces sent. I met Tyson when he was 12 at a boxing gym where I trained in up state NY. I was about 15 at the time. My dad and Cus DiAmato were good friends. Cus brought his fighters to this gym where I trained on Sundays. It belonged to a mutual friend of my Father and Cus. It was where Cus like to show off his best guys to his friends. He was very proud of his young fighter, Tyson. Back then, he shook the whole gym when he beat on the pads that were tied around the support columns. Cus said without a doubt he would be a world champion. Go back and watch any of those early fights where Tyson earned his name "Iron Mike." The way he charged out of his corner and demolished guys in the first few seconds of a fight were insane. If he has a tenth of that today he'd kill any one of us.

Let`s figure this out, when he has the show. This will go perfect with my MD cover when I win that contest as well.
I am serious. I will EMBARRASS TYSON! Especially beforehand if they profile me. He will be so confused, he will forget how to fight.

I figure if I win, I will own you all into the next century.
He is only a human. It is possible. I do not fear him and that used to be his tactic for years. Intimidation. That has ZERO effect on me. By using intelligence, I would intimidate him into oblivion.

Only thing you embarrass is yourself.

I believe some of the people on here believe they can ;D
yup, lotta delusional mutha fuckas on here.
That's what makes it fun ;D

They sure said that with the bums that beat him.

Tommy's one of the only replies that make sense. How many of you have been in a prize fighting ring? That's what I thought. I boxed armature and even though that was many years ago, I still know how dangerous a trained boxer is. Anyone who's never boxed, and you don't play boxing, you play football, basketball, but you don't play boxing. Alexx, don't talk nonsense. 1 short hook to the liver and you wouldn't know if you should shit or go blind. Go to a boxing gym and spar a few rounds, make that 1 session with a trained fighter. It will be the biggest mistake you will ever make. Your Hollywood carrear would be gone and you would be in a wheel chair. You got balls, but your brains are in the wrong place. And Tyson is even talking of fighting women. Anne Wolfe for 1 and she's kick anyone's ass, short of a seasoned pro.
lol you'd make a good comedian.

Well.....I've been practicing for it at home.

Actually it is 1 minute and 30 seconds.
He stops the uppercuts then.

Time the left jab after his rights!
Actually, I don't remember when he stops.
I do remember the glorious day in 4th grade when I beat him though.

Someone post me the link of how I can sign up to fight Iron Mike.
I have seen the tomato cans that beat Mike. LOL. I don`t think he would make it past round 6. Call me Crazy but if I can last 6 rounds, its over.
If Tyson lands one punch..... Sperm will shoot out of your ass..and land in the 20th row!

They sure said that with the bums that beat him.
TA you are funny as hell sometimes. You realize that you couldn't even beat the bums as you put them. You may even have a hard time beating Ali now.
-
You guys stop hating. TA has been sparring with his brother and he WILL be ready.

Sat in the 5th row with the casino owners when he fought Frank Bruno. It was unreal when Tyson would land a punch. you could not only hear it but just about feel it. For sure Mike is nothing like before but very easy to say NO amatuer would come close to beating him. He still owes the IRS lots of money so I am sure allot of this is to generate some income for himself. His house was beautiful in Vegas. He had a condo at the Marmont(?) in BH where I had to go pick up a picture of him with my uncle that was blown up into poster size and framed. Back then he was so quiet and shy. At least in private
yep when he was like this I think nobody would have stepped in......

I had more than 40 amatuer Boxing matches before turning to BB so know my way around a ring. Yet wild horses could not get me in a ring with him. Yes he is slower but the last thing a boxer loses is his punch.
The only people on here who say they will fight him only do so because they know it will never happen.
to everyone who says they would fight Tyson they are talking BS. If they were ever faced with him inside the ring he would destroy them in 10 seconds flat and possibly do long term damage.
Still i would love to see some people on here have a go, I could do with a good laugh.
Think before you Act, Act before they think.

Tyson had the fastest hands and strongest punch of any heavyweight ever.

Let`s figure this out, when he has the show. This will go perfect with my MD cover when I win that contest as well.
I am serious. I will EMBARRASS TYSON! Especially beforehand if they profile me. He will be so confused, he will forget how to fight.
This has my vote as the MOST delusional post of 2006.. Hell, MOST delusional post of the digital era. Period.

Yeah but so was Foreman, and Ali put him to sleep.
Forgive me, I don't know boxing particularly well, but I do know Foreman punched like a tree trunk was hitting you.
no....here...watch this fight and just study tyson and how he moves and his mind set....hes a fucking raging bull. i cant see any human being being able to defeat the man in this fight... god himself would have had some trouble laying his hands on tyson this night:
-
I believe in TA!! We should all encourage him... ;D

I saw Mike training at the alladin when i was in vegas, he misses at least two scheduled days a week, due to his raging coke crack habit, dont believe it, me either till i finally watched him train after a day off, Mike really opened up man almost crying, most people were touched me too a little till i realised hes coming down like a mofo, when i say open up both ways he pounded Fennech his trainer with the pads and then touched us all with another sob story, its sad i used to love the guy, i seriously hope he can get it together one day, props to him for dropping Cormier all those years ago, tough guy that he is ::)
-
yeah one can read between the lines with Tyson and realise that he is very close to ending his life...I wouldn't be surprised to see that on the news some day soon...He's been crying for help for some time...Actually i believe that the new media should be ashamed of themselves for looking the other way over this guy...They chalk it off like " he is just crazy ect" ....
The guy is not crazy...He is depressed...And depressed in a bad way...If he makes it 5 more years, it will be a miracle...
-
tyson will NOT fight in the ufc, k1, pride or any other mma. there he would be owned and he knows it.
he has zero lateral movement now and it will take about 5 seconds to tie him up.
having said that he would still do very well against stiffs. any pro boxer would and that includes the 'tomato cans'.
IF he actually gets a green light with this idea which i highly doubt, it will be a very smart move for tyson. he gets to make a lot of money basically masturbating which he always said that people would pay to watch him do.
i don't blame him one bit for wanting to cash in (although it's a little sad that he has to). he has already proved himself as a fighter 1000 fold so why on earth should he need to go back to pro fighting ie ufc, k1, pride, etc. especially since he's accomplished a million times what ANY of those fighters ever have.
btw, he would've killed the ali that foreman fought. he would have had him on the ropes within 3 (similar to foreman), but he is much more accurate and has a deadlier arsenal than foreman. where foreman just ripped away at ali's mid section with his wide flailing arm punches that ali could see coming from next week, tyson's punches were much shorter and more precise. he would have slammed rips to the body, uppercuts and hook combinations on ali that he wouldn't even see and he would have landed every one exactly where he wanted them to land.
i don't believe tyson necessarily hit harder than foreman but he was much more accurate and quicker than foreman and he always threw combinations to set up his next punch eg. body rips (to bring the elbows to the sides) then uppercuts straight up the now exposed centre column, pops the chin up then left hook to the now exposed chin. he was poetry in motion in his prime.

I wll rebuild him back as a person. That much I will owe him. He will see the world in a new light with extreme focus and will become King once again.

Wake up and dance an Umpa Lumpa Dance...Because there will not be any bout between you and Tyson. They must have some kind of filter to filter out all mentally challenged, too stupid or just delusional brats and you fit in all of those categories. There have to be some way to hold stupids like you to trying suicide via fighting him without any skill at all...and if there going to be some fights at all, what is your number on the waiting list? You will be 34723490867'th in that list, no matter what you do.
And if there going to be a bout between you two, don't bother to do any planning ahead of that day, because it is futile. You may go in the ring by walking, but they carry you out from there and ten count doesn't be enough for you, they have to count days...
-
Hypothetical I know, but do you think Ali at least have put up a good fight against Tyson?
Absolutely, but comparing champs to eachother like this is really kinda useless, although it is kind of fun. ;D
-
Hypothetical I know, but do you think Ali at least have put up a good fight against Tyson?
Ali in his prime against Tyson in his prime would be a tight fight. My bet is win for Ali because he has will and skill. He did beat Foreman who was a monster of his time, and that wasn't easy thing to do. On the other hand, Mike has not ever been very clever fighter, so Ali could have out-wit him and win that way. Mike have all ways have that "one punch knock out"- skill, so that isn't easy fight for Ali by no means. I think Ali would win by points...
-
Hypothetical I know, but do you think Ali at least have put up a good fight against Tyson?
i think the ali that fought pre vietnam would have had a good chance.
he would have had tyson tied up in knots for a while for sure. his footwork and movement was that good.
the question would be whether a prime tyson would have cut off the ring and caught up with ali. i say he would have. i mean if henry cooper can catch ali with a left hook, prime tyson bloody well could have and it would have been a lot harder than ol enry's.
you have to take into account that a prime tyson was blistering fast. not as fast as 60's ali, but fast enough to catch up with ali. at this point does a 60's ali manage to tie tyson up, upper cut and push him off. ali's upper cut wouldn't have bothered tyson much at all. it didn't bother frazier and tyson has a far better chin than frazier.
to be honest i don't see ali as having anything that will stop tyson from just weaving on in and beaking up ali's body which just slows him down and renders ali's amazing movement impotent.
as durable as ali proved to be i don't think he could have lasted against a tyson of, say, spinks fight calibre.

he would've killed the ali that foreman fought. he would have had him on the ropes within 3 (similar to foreman), but he is much more accurate and has a deadlier arsenal than foreman.
Unlikely-he was faster than Foreman but also a lot shorter with a lot less reach, and didn't do that well against a boxer like Ali (Buster Douglas). Nothing conclusive to suggest he was any better than Foreman, who was just as devastating.
Foreman might've been able to beat Ali if (1) he'd had the experience to know not to punch himself out, and (2) if the refs hadn't allowed Ali all the holding he got away with in big fights.

It wasn't the holding he did to Foreman it was the loosening of the ropes so he could use them to lean back and stay away from George blows. He used the ropes like a genious.

No, the holding and rope-loosening went hand-in-hand as part of rope-a-dope, which really should have been disallowed and points deducted because it wasn't conducive to a fair or entertaining fight. It rewarded inacitivity; the fighter (Ali) who would lazily sit back on the ropes, hold most of the time and counterpunch occasionally while tying up the aggressor. It worked but is neither fair nor did it make for good fights to watch, other than on the occasions that the other fighter could get free of that nonsense for a minute.
Unfortunately, I don't think the other boxers or managers were sufficiently savvy to publicize or make a big deal of it to the point that the refs did anything to prevent it, and boxing itself didn't address it either. Basically it was like heavily defensive hockey involving the New Jersey Devils and their defensive trap-a lot of holding that diminished the ability to exercise geniune skill in the game. Ali got away with it in the same way that Jordan was accorded a different set of rules re: personal fouls.

I believe both you and Alexx should cash in on this oppurtunity. You will gain much needed notoriety. :D Maybe both of you should contact Marcus Avellan and fight Kimbo Slice first. Kimbo is looking for more bareknuckle fights. :)
-
foreman simply kept pounding away with wide swinging arm punches against ali, punches that ali simply put himself in position to let the loosened ropes take a lot of the force.
foreman was so sure he break through that he just kept pounding away exactly the same way over and over. he didn't throw a single uppercut or combination.
frazier, on the other hand, was significantly shorter than foreman and was able to give ali fits. difference is that tyson is not going to just walk straight in bobbing up and down like joe, he's going to come in bobbing and weaving, lateral movement, slipping the jab left and right and dropping bombs in combos with pin point accuracy. ropes won't help ali when tyson throws those devastating uppercuts and hooks in close.
tyson = more power, defence, arsenal and speed than frazier and arguably a better chin.
tyson = far more speed foot, hand, better accuracy, defence, ring savvy than george

Mike Tyson with Kevin Rooney in his corner was unbeatable. Ali could beat everyone else, he was the most talented heavyweight OAT. But, a young Mike with Rooney, was on another level in terms of speed and power combination.

Why don't you read your statistic ? Mike build his reputation via beating up some bums and dilettantes, guys with just about zero experience of pro boxing. In Ali's days that didn't go like that.

I would mention the fight was a staged event, the fix was in, and everyone got rich on it - and I'd play the video clip proving a man feel from no punch - but I'd be called a crazy conspiracy theorist.

yes, it was absolutely ludicrous to even imagine that liston would stay on the canvas from that punch legitemately.
liston had one of greatest chins ever. the man was a mule and had been hit plenty harder than that. it was the first fucking round and he was fresh as a daisy.
liston was well and truly in the mafia's pocket and the mafia had enormous control over pro boxing at the time. he was actually used as a heavy by them back in the day.
it has been proven that liston actually bet against himself winning that fight and had somewhat of a financial interest in ali's future career prior to the fight.

He was running up Desert Inn Ave and looking to get back in shape. I called a buddy who knows him and supposedly he's gearing up for a new reality type show which is in negotiation kinda like tuffman. Since everyone has said that they would fight Mike Tyson for a million bucks, he's willing to take that bet! Infact, the show is supposed to pay 1 million to anyone who can beat him! I'm sure it will be boxing rules and no pros/amatuers! Tyson has agreed to do up to 5 fights a night with three, 3 minute rounds!
Does anyone on here now think they can take him?
You must be fucking joking....
Any amateur who thinks they'll beat Tyson in that format is insane.
It's not so much a matter of beating him as much as avoiding one of those bombs he throws.
You take a kid off the street and throw him in with Tyson it would only take one good shot to drop him.....
Tyson may be finished as a boxer, but he'll have that punching power until the end of time.

I totally agree with you. It blows my mind how out of whack this thread got! First of all, you know both parties would probably have headgear on and probably 16oz gloves which means someones likely hood of getting Tyson in trouble is non-existent! Chances are better of hitting the Lotto under these circumstances vs beating Tyson! A left hooking style jab he does followed by one crisp body shot and 99 out of 100 go down!

You couldn't pay me enough money to fight Tyson.....
Not just the very real possibility of getting KO'd but the possible biting that could take place.
I remember someone talking about Tyson stealing some guy's burrito here in Phoenix before a fight...
How many people out there are going to argue with Tyson if he takes your food?
This isn't Cormier stealing Lee Priest's bucket of chicken here, we're talking serious bodily harm. :-\

A prime Ali would murder a prime Tyson.
Discuss.
There is no doubt in my mind that Ali would have had problems with mike in his prime.
Styles make fights and Ali had lots of problems with a fighter whose style is a lot like tysons - Joe Frazier.
Now i have no idea who would win, Ali or Tyson but there is no doubt it would not be as one sided as a lot of people think.

It would go down like this....
Ali would win the fight on points or Tyson would win in KO.
Either way, Ali would take some serious punishment.
A prime Tyson had great defense and could get inside on anyone.
I truly believe that Ali might dance around enough to last in the later rounds, but it would only take one barrage from Tyson to end Ali's night.
Tyson hit harder than Frazier......and he was devastating once he got inside.
I don't think Ali had the power to KO Tyson....esp with his head movement and defense.
I'd have to put my money on Tyson....KO within 6 rounds.

I'm giving Ali the benefit of the doubt by saying KO within 6 rounds.
It wouldn't be a TKO, either.
A prime Ali would not give up.....he'd get beaten until he was KO'd.
With a prime Mike Tyson, it wasn't a matter of if but when...
Ali might survive and dance for awhile, but eventually Tyson would connect with a combination and end Ali...
I respect Ali as a fighter, but he's very overrated in terms of pure punching ability and power.
At the end of his career he was merely a punching bag, because he didn't have quickness to escape punches nor the power to hurt anyone.
Without that quickness, Ali was average......and average gets KO'd.

Ali could dance but Tyson had some aggressive inside moves. Once Tyson got Ali against the ropes or the corner....it would be curtains.
3 rounds KO
Ali was awesome to watch though.....he would just make guys keep making mistakes in the ring until they got tired

I'm not sure Mike can afford an internet connection. What a sad story. The man could seriously be worth a billion dollars right now if he'd just been smart with his money and avoided the pink downfall that so many men choose.

Actually it was allot of Don Kings fault. He handled Mike financial affairs allott of the time. In addition the percentages he took of the purse were outrageous. Thats what he is famous for. Ask Foreman and others. King was a felon and still is. Mike was stupid for getting invovled with him but if you wanted a title shot then you got to play the game. Should have never got rid of Rooney. He got involved with idiots that didn't know shit or care. All they wanted was his money. Really is too bad. His pad in vegas was just unreal. He shared a condo in BH with King. He bought all his friends Rolls Royce's and Rolex watches. Oh well he probably thought the money train would never stop.

absolutely correct...tyson was too damn aggressive and too fast when he was in his prime..hell even lennox lewis said that he would have got beaten by mike tyson if he fought him when he was in his early twenties.mike was a force to be reckon with..he would have whooped that disco dancings alis ass under 6 rounds.mike was like a wild animal in his prime..

No joke you guys ever see this bad ass street fighter named kimbo slice? that guy would be a lot for tyson to handle.

Are you willing to go on the show if it happens? If so let me know...my buddy is friends with him so we can make it happen for sure... ;)
Can you ask your buddy to give me an audition/crack?? I'm 210lbs and have been boxing for 5 years now. I'll gladly take on Iron Mike. PM me.
-
kimbo is a tough mofo. no doubt, i'll give him his due. quite durable too, but his skills are very limited for the type of fighting he's currently doing.
he has no idea what to do in a clinch, nil takedown defence, nil sprawl, absolutely clueless in any type of choke, nil grappling skills.
the man obviously has received some training in boxing which is quite effective in street fighting against OTHER LIMITED FIGHTERS, but put this guy in with a well rounded experienced hw (street fighter) and he's dead in 60 seconds.
he obviously has a good chin, but even current tyson will have no problem finding it again and again. he'll be stopped within 30 seconds here (sanctioned events allow less damage b4 stoppage).

Is there really anyone you could see beating a prime Mike Tyson?
Watching those early fights, there is just no one I can even think of who would have won...
Some fighters would have stayed in for awhile, but win?
Prime Rocky Marciano?
Prime George Foreman?
Prime Larry Holmes?
Anyone?

prime foreman.
i'm thinking of the beating he put on frazier who resembles tyson's style, but tyson has better defence and more movement.
if tyson sits on the outside too long like frazier did he is going to get very discouraged very quickly when foreman drops those uppercuts on him.
tyson will have to work his way in laterally (to avoid devastating uppercuts coming in) or he is going to be a missile target like frazier.
foreman was very strong in his prime with good balance and footwork for a big man. he will try to push tyson off every time he comes in and drop hooks and uppercuts when he does. the tactic for tyson will be to neutralise foreman with a good body attack early on immediately every time he comes in. not just one shot either, he will need combinations with pin point accuracy (to the liver, kidneys, heart, etc).
either way it will be an absolute slugfest with a stoppage finish. would have been a great fight! pity.
-
Prime Foreman was tough & strong...but waaaaaay to slow for a Prime Tyson

foreman was very good at manhandling his opponents, cutting off the ring and basically puting them right where he wanted them to be where he would line them up and bomb them out.
there were plenty of fighters quicker than george that he destroyed in this fashion.

i agree, Klithcko would destroy Tyon now easily but not Tyson when he was 20.

tyson is was small but he did fight some huge guys in his prime. of course, he was very quick and got in quick on them where there advantages turned into disadvantages.
vitali klitschko has retired but he would have been chopped down early by prime tyson. the younger brother, wlad has issues when he starts getting hit. prime tyson would have a field day destroying this man.

You all are talking about a 40 year old beaten down by life boxer. No one on this board could take him in boxing but I believe there are one or two of us that would beat him in his present condition in a street fight.
Now if you talk about Mike 20 years ago.......untouchable.

sorry, but you're talking out of your ass.
tyson would be extremely dangerous in a street fight and if you'd ever been in a serious one you would know that.
he's got everything going for him. consider:
1. he is extremely well balanced and quick at the same time.
2. he remains very calm. even when he gets hit he won't even blink and he's been hit by the best. your sunday punch he'd probably catch it on purpose and laugh at you. if he so much as flinches at you, you will be on the ground in the foetal position and you know it.
3. a quality street fight is over within 60 seconds. you win or he does - no rules don't forget (it's surprising how many people do forget that one), i guarantee tyson WON'T. tyson is lethal in 60 seconds. his explosive power and balance is top notch, even today.
4. he has had 1000s of top quality fights (don't forget sparring and ams) and is completely comfortable in this situation (fighting since he was born. quality since he was 13). he'd be more at home ripping your head off than shaking your hand.
5. he has a killer instinct second to none. i'm sorry, but this should be obvious by now.
6. i hate it when people make assumptions about 'people on this board'. that right there tells me you don't give YOURSELF much of a chance, and if YOU don't give yourself much of a chance then i can guarantee ALL you will do is shit and piss your pants simultaneously if you are ever faced with this prospect.

I think you have a point.
Tyson would have to work Foreman like he was chopping down a tree...
Bodyshots over and over until Foreman's defense wore down.
If he stuck to this strategy, he would probably get a late KO...
Either that or Tyson would get impatient and get KO'd early on.
The young Tyson was disciplined and had that killer instinct.
I tend to think Foreman would cave, not in the same way he did against Ali, but once he realized Tyson could take a punch and keep coming.......I think George's will would crumble.
Remember what people always said about Foreman.....bully's mentality.
That is why Ali won....
A prime Tyson would be Foreman's bully.

i agree and he did obviously try to bully ali thinking that he would just pound away at him until he just broke or caved.
can't really blame foreman for thinking that way because everyone else, including ali's camp, thought the same. everyone except ali of course.
foreman punched himself out on ali. he thought ali would break, didn't and was just as shocked as everyone else when he ended up on his ass. like most bullys that get owned like that he was shattered and didn't recover for decades. he did get stronger mentally though and came back and fought some very tough fights where he got tested and came through eg. ron lyle, evander holyfield (although he lost that one).
the difference between him and tyson is that foreman did adapt as a fighter and may have been a little tougher mentally than tyson, although not enough to shut tyson down like holyfield did. i don't think foreman had the tools or the chin for that.
tyson was fearless against those that simply tried to bomb him out ala ruddock and he had a great chin too (better than foremans).
i think george was too limited as a fighter to keep tyson out, but damn it would have been a hell raiser.
