Mike Tyson in K-1 Max

[UnderControl-]

I believe a prime Tyson beats any man on the planet. But his days as a professional fighter are over.

Any one heared anythin about Mike Tyson training for the next K-1 Max because apparently he has been training for the past 6 month to enter in the next K-1 Max. Does anyone know anythin??

No, any "boxers" on the planet...that's different.
Not even that though..
Prime foreman > Tyson
prime Ali > Tyson.

I disagree. The combination of power, speed and determination ... too much for any other fighter out there, ever.
But everybody is entitled to his opinion.

You guys arec crazy, first off once the bell rings i guranetee you whoever it is in front of tyson, (the best Fedor, emilvalinko whoever) will freeze up just long enough that tyson could run at them and either throw or scoop get to the floor and pummel, TYSON WOULD DESTROY ANY K-1 fighter easy

You just made a fool of yourself.

Fedor emelianenko IS NOT a stand up fighter. Fedor never fought in kickboxing or boxing competitions in his career.
This is fedor

forget fedor...
any top ground fighter would submit any versions of Tyson on the ground in no time. You guys are delusional.

As for Tyson beating any K1 guys...
We're talking about the guy who lost vs McBride here..

The likes of Toney, Klitschko, Valuev, Brewster would end up being partly paraplegic at the end of their fights.

Vitali klitschko himself, who had experience in kickboxing was KOed, brutally via highkick..and to top it all, by a ****ing CAN!

Tyson is and always will be the most overrated boxer in history.
Any versions of tyson would get owned by Ali & Foreman.
believe what you want. but when you look at power, intelligence and overall technical style.
Tyson had nothing over these guys.
Sure, He was explosive.. but not good enough to beat these guys.
Tyson was also scared ****less to even fight vs a past prime foreman!

Spoken with vigour that can only accompany foolishness.

Sorry dude, but as entertaining as boxing is, boxing is nowhere near as effective when used against MMA guys.

MMA guys can deal with everything, strikes, grapples. They'll have fought boxers, martial artists from all schools, full combat karate, full combat wushu, etc. They've fought wrestlers, kickboxers, etc. etc.

The list goes on and on.

Boxers, however, firstly only use their hands, and secondly, only attack and defend the top half of their body.

In fact, that's one of the reasons i like boxing over MMA. The restrictions limit the possibilities, so the focus is much more on the skills of the individual rather than the effectiveness of the school/style.

Tyson might not do bad in MMA, but not because of his boxing - i think, when he was younger, he was also an amateur wrestler? That might help him, combined with his boxing skills could make him a decent MMA fighter. But no way would he beat anyone of top calibre in MMA, except for with a lucky punch.

Someday, try sparring with someone from an MMA gym, with MMA rules. You will get killed - he'll go straight for your legs, with the knowledge that your a boxer. YOu'll probably back into the ropes, then he'll get a hold on your legs and take you down, then pummel your face in or put you in submission.

MMA is much more effective in an anything-goes fight/spar.

Boxing is much more beautiful and enjoyable to watch - which is why i train in MMA (i grapple and thai box), but i watch boxing.
