Mike Tyson: "I'm No 'Iron Mike' Anymore"

[Abe Attell]

Um, that 6'5 guy (who kissed his "biceps" ) was as light as a feather.

The scales don't lie.

Mitch Green was 6'5, 225lbs when he fought Tyson...boxers aren't going for that bodybuilding bulked up look like the MMA guys...there are just to many rounds, it doesn't quite work.

Mitch was also a former gang memeber so don't tell me this guy wasn't a tough person.

alot of times people are in gangs because they are NOT Tough and need backup. most gang Members are Cowards

educate myself? you r the onw who said there should be more clinching in boxing, to favor the "big men" because according to you all small men would lose to big men in a real fight.

Your post is barely coherent.

Anyway, let's forget your......um.........post


I did not say that every fighter who is relatively small would lose to a relatively big man.

I implied, that the bigger man has AN advantage.

Back to the topic at hand - the one that you seemingly thrived on.

Tyson would not fight a K1, sometimes MMA BUM.

If you do not believe me, look at my last post, and do your homework as I have suggested.

He was too terrified to fight Bob "the bum" Sapp, in a K1 or an MMA fight.

It does not take Sherlock Holmes to figure that Tyson was extremely limited.

if bob sapp wanted to fight him so bad, then why didn't he go and fight tyson under boxing rules. you're going to say tyson is terrified of him to go and fight him under mma rules so it basically goes around the other way as well

Bingo.

Richard Simmons could have been a great "gang member".

Itis my belief, that people who have to go through terrible hardships, are very weak people deep down.

Well, as I've aid, Sapp was PLAYED.

He was WILLING to fight Tyson under boxing rules.

BUT, say he was not - just for arguements sake.

SAPP would be CORRECT!

You must see that!

Sapp fought under ANY rules.

He PREFERRED not to LIMIT himself.

And why should he LIMIT himself?

He is a FIGHTER! A BUM, but a FIGHTER never the less.

It would be completely irrational for him to fight Mikey's LIMITED game. Common logic tells you that. No?

It is like asking a jedi knight to fight you with a light saber only, BANNING him from using the force........banning him from using an enormous part of his FIGHTING skills.

You must see that!

[Abe Attell]

He only wanted to do that when the other fighter couldn't do it back to him.

Mike's old and shot as a pro fighter...he even said his lust for fighting has been over for quite some time...Mike's not trained for MMA, but if you could take him when he started to box, it might be a whole different story.



Everybody knows Mike is not the same fighter he once was, that is why everybody wanted to fight him.

Why do we continue to talk about this idiot?

And you call Tyson an Idiot!!! We continue to talk about Tyson because he is a phenomenom. We continue to talk about Tyson because he was a great fighter. We continue to talk about Tyson because he lit up the heavyweight divison in his youth when it was seemingly in decline and is the youngest ever heavyweight champion of the world. We continue to talk about Tyson because he was and is the type of character that attracts attention in and out of the ring. People will be talking about Tyson in 100 years when you and me are long forgotten!

Tyson may very well be limited at K1 and MMA, but at his best he certainly wasn't limited as a boxer, and afterall, this is a boxing forum so i couldn't give two flying ****s about K1 or MMA.

OK, you don't think that it is relevant.

But I shall tell you why it is.

Tyson was called "The baddest man on the planet".

Now, whilst UFC was not well established at that time, UFC fighters did exist.

Even the BUMS of UFC would have taken Tyson out in seconds.

BADDEST MAN ON THE PLANET. Ha!

I think not.
