If this had happened I'm sure as many clueless thick as shit fucks who thought Mcgregor would beat Mayweather would pick Mandarich.

I vividly remember this.

But, dude, you’re obsessed. And clearly intimidated by extremely large men.

Regardless, here’s the deal: If the fight was a boxing match, Tyson would win, easily. If it was two guys in a parking lot or bar, it could have gone either way.

Remember him training with Rory. A buddy of mine was also being trained by Rory and said
Tony was just beyond huge in person. Never lived up to the hype.

I remember this. Tony was a workout warrior and nothing more. Once in the NFL he was getting run over, and labelled the biggest bust of all time. He didn't know how to fight at all and would have been a punching bag for Tyson or any other boxer in the top 500 of the heavyweight division at the time. 5 time World's Strongest Man Mariuz Pud. tried his hands at MMA and it didn't end well.

I’d say the opposite about Pud.

Here is a guy with almost no MMA training (when he first stepped into it) and he holds his own, or wins, against guys with decades of experience and who’ve held major titles. Some of whom were even considerably larger (heavier and taller).

His relative success speaks to the advantage of superior strength.

I chose Pud as an example because he was arguably the best all around strongman champion and was still near his athletic prime in MMA for the first few years. He did well on static events, was fast, explosive, and his strength lasted. No weak points. He also was a former competitive boxer and fourth-degree black belt in Kyokushin karate. He had plenty of fighting knowledge, took a decent punch, and was an elite athlete. What has he accomplished? He just fights in a small Polish promotion against bums or washed up fighters with nothing left. He is marketable as the World's Strongest Man. It's humbling watching a guy that used to flip cars with ease, and likely still had a 600 + lbs pull and squat in him (he started mma in his early 30s at 265 lbs) unable to pick up or even hurt tomato cans.

He was a complete nothing in the NFL out of college. He was under watch for using steroids when he was drafted. Without the juice he was nothing. On top of it he started boozing and using drugs. Once he cleaned up his act he has short good run with the Colts I believe.

If he fought Tyson he would have gotten killed in the boxing ring. That goes for the Polish strongman winner too.

But people on the youtube comments section say Pudz would kill Tyson in boxing or any other form of fight. They know best,

How gullable people are...1989? Tyaon had just beat spinks..unified Title..height of fame...any manager that would allow Tyson to risk injury in a gimmick shit like this when they were setting up Holyfield payday should be killed..
