Did Tyson get beat in a prison fight?

That movie was awful, in a very funny way.

I find it very hard to believe that any man could beat Mike Tyson in a prison fight one on one hand to hand.

All you fools forget that these prison guys train every day, opposed to boxers who train almost every day only before a fight. Plus they gotta protect their azzes, literally, so they have to be tough as nails. Stop being blind fanboys and smell the coffee-nobody is invincible! Tyson himself said there is no such thing. Thats why Buster kicked his hide.

Buster was a professional boxer, not a prison inmate. And prisoners are considerably more limited in their physical training than any pro. They don't get sparring partners, 5 mile jogs on country roads, nutritional supplements, etc.

The only evidence you seem to offer is a movie written with one character very loosely based on Mike Tyson. And we're the blind fanboys?

To think a prison tough guy wannabee who is limited to basically just doing push ups and situps most of the time could ever beat a champion boxer is silly. The guy'd die if Mike hit him, and the guy would never be able to hurt Mike.

Dumb statement. You realize how hardened these inmates are? They are used to taking punches and believe it or not, people have survived a beating from Mike. If his wife could, so can a prisoner.

Im sure there are some guys in the joint who could beat Mike, but most would piss themselves with fear at the thought of fighting him 1 on 1. And dont kid yourself, not every person in prison is use to taking punches, and none of them are use to taking them from a trained, all time great heavyweight.

Oh hi NChristo, now I remember you, yea, you are that tool and wanka.

More insults, no substance, good ol Pastrano.

Tyson said he felt safer in there than out in society.

Ultimately an individuals fantasy to imagine Mike being punked in prison. Didn't happen. Probably went his entire stint without a cowardly confrontation. Even the typical prison jokes garner a lazy roll of the eyes. Pick somebody else.

Yes, seriously.

Agreed, isn't the place for it but oh well, I liked SC and his whole different outlook on everything, been insulted by Pastrano numerous times just for trying to debate with him (this time was probably called for as my post was obviously a piss take and I deleted it) or questioning how he rated boxers e.g in one thread on Hearns he said it didn't matter who you beat but how you looked and literally an hour later in a Roy Jones thread he said he doesn't rate because it's easy to look invincible against limited opposition, I question this and I'm a ''****** idiot tosser''.

Back on topic, I don't see any 'hardened' prisoner taking on Mike no matter how much prison training is done, maybe if the prisoner had a background in martial arts and kicked Mike's legs out before he was able to punch or if they was built like a tank they could probably out muscle him in a grapple or choke him out, I've personally never heard the rumor. Hand to hand it's not happening.
I think sometimes people don't realize just how hard a boxer hits, even on journey man level these people have been training for a long long time to hit hard and take out their opponent as effectively as possible.
