How the hell can people compare this to when Tyson first lost?!?

[Darren Avey]

Tyson was UNDISPUTED champ in a mainstream sport, maybe the most famous man on earth.
Fedor was in a sport that still is only watched by a few in a minor league at that. 99 out of 100 people on the street would nt have heard of him.

Fedor is to mma what tyson was to boxing. (but also humble, white, respectful)

Its about as simple as that.

I guess you're trolli'n

 Are you an idiot?

[Darren Avey]

No im not, this does NOT have the same global impact. The Tyson loss was the same time as Mandelas release and got more coverage!

Who give's a shit about "media coverage"??

Kimbo Slice got a ton of media coverage and he sucked.

If you ask me, Fedor > Tyson. I bet Fedor in his prime would've killed Tyson in his prime 9 out of 10 times. Many more tools. Only chance Tyson would have is catching Fedor with a KO punch. MMA is far more diverse than boxing. Fedor could apply one of many submissions, GNP and several other methods. Tyson probably wouldn't know how to stuff a takedown, and get owned on the ground.

Really so if you forced Tyson to compete in someone else's sport, you think he would lose?  This is groundbreaking stuff

How do you think Fedor would do on the pitch against Pele?

Adult men dont like to go down to the ground. Real fighters STAND THEIR GROUND AND FIGHT. this whole MMA and jiu-jitsu bullshit is disappointing...

Who's Fedor

[jpm101]

Anyone ever consider that some of these fights are fixed. Checking out Fedo'sr body language, as he walked down the aisle and than standing in the ring, suggest he already knew he was to lose. Lots of money on these fights around the world.. Guessing that the Russian mob would have a great influence on the out come of a lot of matches. Maybe even more so with Russian fighters. Looked almost that Fedor wanted his arm grabbed and held. If a rematch, the smart money would to bet on Fedor big time.

If you ask me, all martial arts and combat sports are about 1 thing at their core: who would kick whose ass in a fight. Martial Arts originated as a means of self defence, for the small guy to be able to utilize leverage and technique against his larger foe. It's all about who kicks whose ass.

[jaejonna]

I thought the same as jpm101 ... imagine just throwing the fight and how much he would earn (Russian Mob) ....as compared to his Strikeforce paycheck thats coming down the pipeline already...

only gym rat mma wannabes may be able to identify fedor out of a lineup.  Most people will think you just misspelled federer.

Prime Tyson takes out Fedor in the first round!

Who the fuc k is FEDER?? sorry i dont watch wresting much anymore since i grew up

[pluck]

I'm a fan of mma and boxing.

Fedor is still amazing as was Tyson in his prime.

Put it this way, even casual fans of boxing still talk about Tyson and how amazing he was.

But even now as mainstream mma has become it does not have the respect boxing has because I think it hasn't been around for over a century like boxing was.

It's sort of apples and oranges argument

Really.....I can recall you and many others saying Fedor needs to fight in the UFC to prove himself.

Tyson was the undisputed Heavyweight champion of the entire world


MMA =  LOL

[theonlyone]

 Slavic bros rule the heavyweight boxing
 The prime Tyson? Where is next Tyson?

not to mention nobody was even close to being competitive with him

hence why Tyson's loss is considered the biggest upset in the history of boxing

[FREAKgeek]

Tyson was the undisputed Heavyweight champion of the entire world

He never fought the best from eastern Europe, the communist regime didn't allow their athletes to go professional - not suggesting it's Tyson's fault.

Fedor currently holds the intercontinental belt
