He didn't make it past Buster Douglas. He was still in his prime then.

if they conditioned him for takin kicks and trained him with sum wrestling tricks, he wud be up there with the best in a street fight.

tyson said he lost the hunger for boxing in 1990

Tyson's peak was four or five fights before Spinks and yes he was indeed the best we've seen, but he was a shadow of his former self Post-June1988 for obvious reasons.

I dont think anybody stands a chance against a real martial arts expert in a "fight for life". And I'm not talking about thos sissies you see at your local Karate joint for kids.

Most of those black belt experts at Pride FC always end up getting their ass kicked.

At his best I think he was pretty unstoppable, he had it all. He was such a complete fighter...

Most of them are just a bunch of wankers. They are all young guys, I dont see how they can be experts. It takes a lot of years of study and practice to be the best at it.

Plus in UFC they dont go for a kill, they go for a KO.

IMO If I'm walking on the street, I'd much rather have a martial arts veteran or a secret service bodyguard(even without weapons) then Tyson.

Boxing is a sport, whilst there are many other fighting techniques which specificaly specilize on causing permanent damage, killing and just breaking every bone in your body.

Boxers are not trained to use their legs either. And trust me, a drop kick from lets say a 190lb Karatist is harder on your head then any punch.

You should also watch some of those Russian Spetsnaz tapes if you want to see some serious fighting skills.

P.S I never liked UFC because their fights are like big wrestiling matches.

He'd have a shot but NO. Anyone with a good jab, decent defense and overrand right would own Tyson
