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.

I actually got into a fight with him at the Las Vegas airport and I didn't get paid jack crap. We were both waiting to play the same Wheel of Fortune slot machine, except I was in front of him before he tried to cut. I said "hey, no cutting"...next thing I know he is slapping me and pulling my hair. I karate chopped his throat and some elderly tourists broke it up. He ended up signing my fanny pack.

I truly believe that one well placed punch from Mike Tyson might kill me. The guys he faces in the ring have been conditioned to take punches, and it almost kills them.

No frggin' way.

I survived a 20' fall from a tree leading with my head and survived. I could survive a punch from Tyson.



Yes.

You people are crazy. Even 2020 Mike Tyson would kill or give a TBI to 99% of the people on this forum.

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.

No freaking way. Not now, not back in the day, never. Not worth it. I make more than that now in a year. Sometimes a lot more.

A million tax free has the potential to be a game changer for the rest of your life, but not $100k.

The reality is that there's a LOT of people who'd get in the ring for $100k with him, but I'm not one of them.

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

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.

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

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

How about a damaged spleen or liver?
