No in 2003, no 17 years later in 2020. I'd need to be able to spend a million to make it worth it and he'd detach my head from my neck with one punch. I don't even have children and he'd make them orphans.

Tyson v Holyfield 3 - Thith Viruth Ain't Got **** On Me. I'm the true killah.

https://instagr.am/p/CAHLkFTFSOG

Fight? Yes.

Box? Hell no

Guitarsoup and FromACutie posted on this thread yet it wasn't a Friday. Is that good?

Now, no way.

30 years ago when I killed people for a living and was in peak physical condition? For a million bucks??

Bring it.

Edit to clarify; I wouldn't have got in a boxing ring with gloves on, I'm talking about a street fight.

Yeah, he'd have likely knocked the hell out of me, but I know a good bit about dispensing pain and permanent harm. I'm not a boxer, I'm a Recon Marine.

Remember this; the top level fighting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter, Gracie, offered him $100,000 for a fight back in the 80s, and Tyson was like 'Oh, hell no'.

I'm not some world class fighter who could take him out, but as badass of a boxer as he is/was, he's not invincible.

Yeah, but man it would suck. I think better question would be $100,000

I'll put up $1,000 for the purse, but if there's no blood there's no pay.

I like FromACutie pushing the three rounds condition. How many professional fights did Tyson end in a round?

Yup! You'd have to be on time to the fight or you could miss the ending. Happen to me once. I was pissed because I helped pay for the fight.

The only way I'm fighting anybody right now is if they are physically threatening my life or my family, and if it comes to that, I assure you I will end it quickly. I've only got 3/4 of a skull now, thanks to unfortunate outcomes from a little trip to the Persian Gulf, so I can't take a hit anymore like I used to. Hell, I won't even get in a pickup basketball game anymore for fear of a collision.

Very nice of you to offer though!

Same here! We also spent a lot of money on food and booze. That was the Last time I ever spent money on a pay per view fight.

I was just joshin anyhow. I've never been in a real fight and don't necessarily want to fight a marine recon. Thanks for the service brother

I would, the worst part is dodging all the dynamite punches. 3 rounds and it'll be over.

Boxing match? No!

Street fight? No!

Submission grappling or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Yes!

I'd fight him. I can take a Peter McNeely Cocoon of Horror dive with the best of em

Mike Tyson is a genius.

A true genius on multiple levels.

Mike Tyson is the American dream.

Mike Tyson has had the full American Experience.

No human alive represents the American experience like Mike Tyson.

Would you let an average 40 year old man take a swing at your head with a baseball bat?

Mike Tyson's first punch would be worse than that.

There is a small chance that a non-boxer moves in close, gets a very lucky first punch, and knocks Tyson out. But there's a better chance that rainbow colored doves fly out his ass and drop gold coins on the ground as the first bell rings.

he dropped professional boxers in <1min


wtf you think he would do with the avg joe schmoe -- absolutely no chance of lasting 3rds -- it'd be lights out fast

This is a very old thread, in Texags years and in internet years.

Yet, when this thread started it was 15 years after Mike Tyson's initial superstar fame.

And 20 years after this thread, he got in the ring again and not just as a joke he still looked like a guy that could kill someone with a punch, and still moving well.

He's had some good gene therapy

I wouldn't survive a Punch Out video game fight with Mike Tyson.

He could still give you major whiplash if not actually breaking your neck.

How about a damaged spleen or liver?

Mike Tyson may be the greatest living American.
