This guy at his peak in UFC, whaddaya think?

[Dave D]

Would Tyson be allowed to use firearms or would have to rely on non explosive weapons?

[Anna Recksiek]

There is grappling in boxing when they clinch. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't boxed before. How many fighters left UFC to go on to make real pay days in boxing? Who makes more money - UFC guy or boxer?

He fought at 212/218 or so... That's about cro cop or wanderleis weight when they fought each other.. In Glory or whatever he might gave a chance

[BananaHammock]

If the Boer only relied on their boxing they would be taken down and submitted.

Only Boxing is not enough when your opponent can kick and take you down and grapple.

So if I'm understanding correctly, what you're saying is boxing isn't enough

Here's Mike Tyson 24 years old and undefeated right before the Buster D fight sparring. Knocked down(with head gear) by a simple right cross...

[Griffith]

james toney was shot, wasn't a puncher or an explosive phenom like tyson. Plus he was a blown up middleweight manlet.

Tyson, Lewis, Bowe etc would make mincemeat of the ufc heavyweight division.

Plus haye, holyfield and other smaller heavyweights would clean out the ufc 205 division.

Mike Tyson has been listed at 5'9 1/2, at most 5'10, that's similar to James Toney.

His lower centre of gravity gave him an advantage over other heayweights, especially with his style.

[Kwon]

Reason Tyson never entered the UFC (or any MMA-competition) is because people are jealous of Halo.

[kevcat]

Lets see.The HW division he wouldn't stand a chance against Cain for starters, lets not get started on mos of the other top guys. If Overeem threw a body kick, how does Mike get through that with his short reach?

Styles makes fights, even more so in MMA, and im sorry, even as a Tyson fan, he would lose against a lot of the top guys if he just boxed.

PS That sparring footage in Japan, Tyson looks terrible. No wonder he lost against Buster

Tyson was 19 yo in that vid. Nineteen.

[Bulgarian_enforcer]

prime tyson with black belt in BJJ that would be interesting to watch in the cage.

Yes, coupled with a Black Belt in tapout, affliction and a brown belt in Bellator and UFC as well!

you sound dumb... what i meant was tyson was a top all time boxer and if he had grappling skills he could have made it in the MMA arena.

Prime Tyson in the current UFC will get raped by pretty much all top 5 guys.

Drugs, not caring, having yes men all around you, forgetting to use your jab, forgetting that head movement made you great, etc. will do that to Tyson.

[oldgolds]

As soon as he lands on his back he gets a terrified look on his face and quickly taps...Seen it before with boxers...Remember the early days of cage fighting?

What if he doesnt tap? He either fights or dies....

John Mcarthey will go diving in elbowing the other guy off, its his way of looking like a fighter without fighting...

What if big John catches a quick haymaker and is out?

We need to examine every possible scenario here, if we really want to find out how iron mike would survive in DA CAGE!!!
