Mike Tyson in K-1 Max

Spoken with vigour that can only accompany foolishness. Sorry dude, but as entertaining as boxing is, boxing is nowhere near as effective when used against MMA guys. MMA guys can deal with everything, strikes, grapples. They'll have fought boxers, martial artists from all schools, full combat karate, full combat wushu, etc. They've fought wrestlers, kickboxers, etc. etc. The list goes on and on. Boxers, however, firstly only use their hands, and secondly, only attack and defend the top half of their body. In fact, that's one of the reasons i like boxing over MMA. The restrictions limit the possibilities, so the focus is much more on the skills of the individual rather than the effectiveness of the school/style. Tyson might not do bad in MMA, but not because of his boxing - i think, when he was younger, he was also an amateur wrestler? That might help him, combined with his boxing skills could make him a decent MMA fighter. But no way would he beat anyone of top calibre in MMA, except for with a lucky punch. Someday, try sparring with someone from an MMA gym, with MMA rules. You will get killed - he'll go straight for your legs, with the knowledge that your a boxer. YOu'll probably back into the ropes, then he'll get a hold on your legs and take you down, then pummel your face in or put you in submission. MMA is much more effective in an anything-goes fight/spar. Boxing is much more beautiful and enjoyable to watch - which is why i train in MMA (i grapple and thai box), but i watch boxing.

You guys arec crazy, first off once the bell rings i guranetee you whoever it is in front of tyson, (the best Fedor, emilvalinko whoever) will freeze up just long enough that tyson could run at them and either throw or scoop get to the floor and pummel, TYSON WOULD DESTROY ANY K-1 fighter easy You just made a fool of yourself.

No, any "boxers" on the planet...that's different. Not even that though.. Prime foreman > Tyson prime Ali > Tyson. I disagree. The combination of power, speed and determination ... too much for any other fighter out there, ever. But everybody is entitled to his opinion. :)

I believe a prime Tyson beats any man on the planet. But his days as a professional fighter are over.

Mike Tyson couldn't beat a K1 fighter when he was in his prime! The guys are gona kick his lower leg before he even gets in close enough to punch. I dont want Tyson to do this because it will make professional boxers all look like a bunch of weaklings because Tyson is the only modern boxer that people know of. Those MMA guys have plenty of experience of fighting aswell, who ever made that comment.... NEVERMIND!

Mike Tyson the boxer is a puncher. Mike Tyson the man has experience in fighting on the streets of Brownsville, New York. yea playa the streets and the K-1 ring are totally different...They would roundhouse the shit out of Mike....Dont get me wrong I love Mike THE BOXER and he is indeed a killa foreal but you put a MMA against a boxer....I would go with the MMA all day everyday..

how could he fight in the k-1 max? thats 70 kilos and below

I believe he was training to become a referee. Yes, he said something like that after his first appearance as a referee (for a cage fight).
