@@floridafan561 You mean a "well respected scientist" such as Neil Ferguson, who has been fantastically wrong on every meaningful prediction ever, including well before the present situation, was caught disregarding his own scaremongering and is still pretended to be a credible expert unlike all the ones who made more realistic predictions from the start? Like all the "credible experts" who wrote the specific, supposedly "scientific" basis for the validation of the WHO's global PCR test regime while having several undisclosed conflicts of interest and with two of the paper's authors actually on the editorial board of the journal which, incidentally, published it after an alleged peer-review lasting one day? I guess you are one of those people who think the government-sanctioned experts paraded around on TV actually constitutes any consensus - let alone a scientifically based one - while the entire context of the debate is _completely politicized_ so that the personal consequences of every expert's opinion, in terms of respect, recognition, social standing and professional opportunities, are based not on the quality of their work but on its political serviceability. If this were really the new plague, consider how it would be that the global body of serological studies has indicated a mortality rate no higher than your normal flu, as explicitly (if quietly) admitted to by the WHO months ago, how excess mortality outside of lockdowns is literally not a thing anywhere in the world, and how flu would have been eliminated worldwide because everybody is wearing their masks while the rona is running rampant because nobody is wearing a mask. Or just go back into your ignorant, authoritarian bubble where everyone who disagrees with the government position is a dangerous quasi-terrorist, regardless of their arguments and no matter how well-qualified an expert they may be, and if you just call all of them _"cOnSpIrAcY tHeOrIsT!!!!1"_ hard enough you will automatically be right without ever having to think anything other than what the TV tells you to.

What people forget about Tyson was his ability to avoid punches. Mike had a metronome-like movement, constantly ducking and weaving, anticipating the punches, moving effortlessly out of the way, and incorporating that defensive movement in his counter-attack, usually a rising left hook or uppercut. It was truly a thing of beauty to watch.

I used to be a kickboxer back in the 80s. Problem is we have to train with our legs as well as hands, neither perfecting one or another. A boxer just trains with his hands but he perfects it. Tyson would only need to deflect a kick or two and then move in for the kill. He was an absolute beast in close quarter fighting. Argument settled.

The only way a boxer can win is if he train in kickboxing for 1 or 2 year before a serious fight.

Whenever Tyson fans talk about him, they always have to use the term "Prime" Tyson. Why? Because they're always having to make an excuse for why he lost to Buster Douglas, Evander Holyfield, and Lennox Lewis. So they can always say, "Prime Tyson would have beaten Holyfield..." Well guess what? Evander Holyfield WAS NOT in his prime either when he fought Tyson! Holyfield had already been in three WARS with Riddick Bowe (who Tyson never fought) by the time he fought Tyson. Also, Buster Douglas was also NOT in his prime when he fought Tyson. Buster already had four losses, THREE by TKO when he fought Tyson. On top of that, Buster Douglas is 6 years older than Mike Tyson. Just admit the facts. Mike Tyson wasn't as great as people think he was. As soon as he faced fighters who were not afraid of him, he folded.

Lol you guys must be the same people that thought Conor was gonna beat floyd. No way in hell would Tyson beat a kick boxer in kick boxing let alone Muay Thai. I’m guessing none of you guys never got kicked in the leg before. A boxer has to plant his lead leg to punch properly. He would get chopped down easily. His only chance is in kickboxing were kickboxers usually dont like to fight close. In Muay Thai Tyson would’ve ate knees & kicks all day. I love Tyson but that’s a totally different sport.

Skankhunt 42 If it’s a street fight (which I’m assuming everyone is talking about) then all Tyson has to do is close the distance on a kickboxer and it’s game over. Now Muay Thai that’s a different story, they are much more intimidating, fierce, and have way better technique than kickboxers.
