How long would you have lasted in a fight with Mike Tyson?

[The Stockport Iniesta]

The best two fighters he faced were Lewis and Holyfield.

And was well beaten by one and bit the other.

Tyson was well past his prime when he met both of them (imo)

Now Clay (Ali) v Tyson in their prime......how about that?

Ali every day. There is no disputing Tyson had the raw aggression and power but he was a glorified street fighter. Ali would have unlocked him after six or seven rounds as, correct me if I'm wrong, Tyson's fights rarely lasted that long.

Lennox Lewis was a year older than Tyson I believe. Tyson was a very exciting fighter but rolled over a bunch of nobody's. Every top HW boxer he fought found him out.

As long as it took him to catch me and swing a right hook or upper cut! However, given some of the purses of the Pros who did the same, I’d have a crack!

Old Bill Hicks joke. "Every time Mike Tyson fights. You always run across some joker who says, 'Hey. For that much money I'd fight him.'
-- And you'd have a lot of fun spending it in a wheelchair too, pal!"

Ref doesn't have to give any count if a fighter is clearly out before hitting the ground and/or he's concerned for their safety. Think the quickest KO in history is 4 seconds.

It was said in jest, just because I don't put smiley things doesn't mean it is serious.

Have a good read/watch of this to see what lead him to the bite:

Take some time to read this, if you're interested in Tyson.
