You do realize that Tyson's speed of foot is much more of a factor in the ring right? In a street fight Foreman, who was much stronger than Tyson, could hold and hit. Tyson would not be running anywhere once Foreman gets his hands on him.

ahhhhhhhhhhh funny foreman's swings were so telegraphed it wasnt funny. especially in a street fight with no ring and no where to back some1 in the ropes. no challenge for tyson

but those hands tyson had. especially in a street fight. pop pop thats all u need foreman wouldnt see it coming. u would literally have to stay still not so he would hit tyson.ahahaha

Tyson developed his footspeed from robbing senior citizens of their purses then running away. Tyson's best chance would be to bite Foreman in the ankle once George smashed him to the pavement...

Man you have absolutely no historical perspective. Zip, none. Old Jack Dempsey was the man your boy modeled himself after. Dempsey, who survived countless street fights when he was homeless and fighting on a daily basis just to eat, would wreck the pampered Tyson who hasn't seen a real streetfight since he was 13. Dempsey was just about 6'1" and his chest was the same circumference as Tyson's. He had just about the biggest hands I've seen on a fighter around 200 pounds. Dempsey was a natural heavyweight who trained down for endurance, as was the method in those times. When he stopped fighting he was 220 pounds and carried it well.

As for his punching power, you might want to check hm, how about film from any of his fights or any written account on Dempsey period?

i don't think he can beat the top level mma guys like cro cop, fedor, arlovski but who knows tank abbott has had great success in the ufc through just streetfighting/pitfighting tactics

but i don't think tyson can beat everyone in history, you'd be an idiot to believe that

In a true streetfight, Tyson would do well. If an MMA guy tried to put tyson in a rear naked choke, arm bar, or various other holds, he would bite them and they would let go of the hold. Streetfighting tactics like biting, eye goughing, groin attacks etc. are not allowed in MMA and this would be tyson's advantage, not to mention his awesome power.

Anyone remember Mitch "Blood" Green, if memory serves me right Tyson beat his ass in an alley fight, and then in the ring too. See pro fighters cant really throw the same kinda punches that they would with gloves on cuz they break the hell outta they hands. Tyson broke his hand on Bloods noggin, and he ****ed Bloods eye up good. Remember when ..I think it was Rid**** Bowe, slammed Larry Donald with a quick 1-2 at their press conference? That was sweet. Then he beat his ass in the ring too.
