PRIDE has officially announced plans for Mike Tyson to fight in the organizations New Year's Eve show. Tyson would face a PRIDE fighter under boxing rules. Since Tyson is not allowed to fight in Japan because of his criminal record, PRIDE wants to stage the fight in an alternate country, possibly Macau, China. The fight would be broadcast live on large television screens in the Saitama Super Arena, where the regular mixed martial arts bouts will be held.
I got it from wikipedia... is this true?
If so he better not make us look bad so the MMA folks say.. see a mma dude can beat a boxer! Tyson is washed up so I dunno how well he is gonna do but he better represent!
Not really. If a couple of years ago, an MMA fighter had defeated Kevin McBride in a boxing contest, you would have said that it was the quality of the boxer that was at fault.
TYSON IS DONE!!! This sux if true, he aint even 1/10 the fighter he was! These MMA dudes will luv a win over "All time BOXING great" Mike Tyson! Tyson is the best fighter there ever was and i honestly dont give two shits what any1 says - Its all subjective anyway! Im talkin Prime Tyson by the way
What those MMA guys need to remember is that "The Baddest Man On The Planet" Mike Tyson knocked Shawn Michaels out, but "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock got beat by Shawn Michaels. Don't try to tell me that shit wasn't legit either.
No you can't.. it has to get approved. you can't just write anything down on it.
which is why for weeks typing MADDEN NFL had some shit like "WE ARE MANY, WE ARE LEIGON" with no info whatsoever? lots of pages on wiki are a bunch of unverified crap
Yeah. It was an uncredited scene where Mike was showing Mick and Mikey (figure that) how the meditate. Like I say, his delivery and his screen presence wasnt actually too bad at all (I say this from a Film Studies College Lecturer point of view, not a Mike Tyson fan...which I also am). A few of his mannerisms were VERY amatuer in terms of acting. But I see no reason why Mike couldnt carve out a decent enough career for himself in films. Like he quite rightly stated, he could sell out MSG masturbating. I'm sure that people would quite happily go and see him as a bit-part in an action movie.
Man, he was in croc dundee 3 and black and white as well. Didnt know that....thought it was just rocky. But croc dundee 3 was on tv the other day and i wanted to watch it but missed it because i got home late and it had already finished/
He actually should try acting, because he's not bad at it. I saw him in Crocodile Dundee 3 the other day (dont ask why) and his line delivery wasnt bad at all. His manerisms needed work, but thats not a big problem.
He should move beyond cameos like in Rocky and actually look to get a few low budget roles. Like he did in Black and White (where he actually got a bit of critical appraise).
Tyson aint fighting in no MMA. He has been hooked on the drugs thing and i dont think he should be doing anymore fighting. And he wont. He must of made some money in Rocky 6 apperance. I dont know how much he got paid but he should try acting.
lol. fellas, fellas. that was scheduled for new years eve 2006. and as suspected, it all turned out to be false. he dropped it just like he dropped his whole "world tour".
I think Bernard would fuck someone up before they have a chance off putting him on the ground.
Bernard is a fucking freak. Even at his advancing age his training never lightens up and he's always in the best physical condition I've ever seen a 40+ year old pull off. Logically, Hopkins can still be fighting competitively into his 50's.
Plus his awkward roughhouse slick style would frustrate any non-boxer into submission mentally. His counter punches land with laserlike precision.
Chuck Liddell would be the perfect candidate. The dude is nothing but an overhyped barroom brawler and MMA fans think he's the most dangerous puncher on the planet. He's sloppy as hell and loves to stand up and strike. I'd love to see him have a brawl trading shots with Bernard Hopkins :rofl:
I'd like to see any MMA fighter take on a slick, cagey, technically taltented boxer. So many good boxers come to mind but I'd like to see Bernard Hopkins, Winky Wright or Floyd Mayweather Jr. take on an MMA guy in a boxing situation. It would be hilariously embarassing for the MMA guy.
However the same can be said about the boxer in an MMA situation. Hilariously embarassing.
Why not just take any popular MMA guy who's stand out style is boxing, and put him against a seriously gifted boxer. That would settle the debate on which strikers are better.

You know what I was thinking. It would be great if we got a prime boxer vs prime MMA fighter and had them go at it twice.. Once with MMA rules the other with boxing.. It would show A) that they are completely different and you can't compare them or B) The boxer us much quicker and better at punching that he KTFOs the MMA fighter before the fight can turn into a hump fest... lol

never believe wiki people like you and me can edit everything and anything on wiki

Tyson is seriously washed up. It'd be better if it were someone not as washed up with a good amount of power and an great technical boxing talent. I can practically hear the M.M.A fucks now.....:rolleyes:
