Mike Tyson had apparently a contract with PRIDE to fight the unbeatable russian, Fedor Emelianenko in a boxing match at a PRIDE event in late 2006 early 2007.
Fedor Emelianenko at the time the best fighter on the planet, having never lost a fight, with over a 10 year career. Also Fedor was outweighed by every single one of his opponents and Fedor dismantled every single one of them in dominant fashion.
Fedor went 31-0 including a first round knock out over a boxer trained by FREDDIE ROACH (Andrei Arlovski). He is also world champion Sambo and is the #1 Sambo practitioner in the world.
Oscar De La Hoya, who had been to Fedor's fights before mentioned that Fedor's ability to avoid punches was like that of Mohammed Ali.
To the oddmakers, Fedor would have been the 3 to 1 favorite against Tyson in a boxing match and a 16 to 1 favorite in an MMA fight.
Fedor is known as "The Last Emperor", he is referred to as a "Cyborg" because in his prime, no one could even come close to beating him.

You could match Fedor up with any other fighter, any other boxer in form of combat and I would lay money on Fedor to win the fight.
