But he cant.
Wouldn’t take much training to get there. I doubt he’ll do it since he can still get paid bigger money boxing.
bob sapp was big, didn’t kick, his punches didn’t have good form and he was susceptable to the leg sweeps. he has an ok run. tyson is smaller but can punch alot better. if he can cover up good and be agresive, i think he will do ok against some of the mediocre oponnants. when he fought lennox lewis, he couldn’t get past his jab; how will he be against some kicks???
Hands move a lot quicker than feet. Comparing a jab with even a teep is like apples and oranges. None of these guys have anywhere near the power in their hands as Tyson has. He’d destroy people. Only the top, experienced guys could handler him right off. If Tyson gets a hang for the game, then forget it.
Ill agree with this one. Anyone who takes Tyson with a grain of salt is in for a boulder. He may be a media joke, but I still would not want him to hit me no matter what glove he is wearing. Tyson has proven that he isnt playing a game anymore, hes pretty serious, I think the last thing we need is to give this guy even more weapons to kick peoples arses with. But oh well. Hes an F’n animal.
agreed. tyson would dominate in K-1
That would deffinately be funny to see some good ol’ Tysonation in K-1.

i remember seeing an interview with tyson around the time he fought lewis. he basically said that he knew he wasn’t as good as he use to be and all the crazy stuff that he did was an act to get more people to watch him fight. so i will definately be standing by the good 'ol descrambler waiting for the free-per view to come on.
I like mike and i’m gonna root for him…
but if you think a boxer can close the distance and fire a jab faster than a good kickboxer can put a footjab/teep/sidekick inbetween them, then I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree (not that there are so many guys in K-1 who can perform those kicks well)…
probably also going to have to disagree on whether or not a tyson punch is more powerful than a good (read: cro cop-esque) round kick to the head…
i dont thing anyone said it was more powerful, just that its faster.
I think the whole point is that tyson has always been good at knockin peeps the fuk out with that punch. Im interested to see what happens with this. give the dude a good 2 years at muay thai and it could be scary.
I would definitely watch a Tyson - CroCop K1-rules fight, or a Tyson Boniasky/Alignashov (spell??)/other top technical k1 guys.
