Poll of the Day > Would you fight Mike Tyson to the death for one trillion dollars?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Only the winner gets the money. The fight is only with your fists.

Will he be sedated? If not, no.

How restrictive is the only with fists? Can you trip him/throw him etc?

I wouldn't have much of a chance of winning anyway, but I'm pretty big (size) and agile for it, so if I could trip him etc, and use throws, I might have a chance, just takes one good solid hit to the throat to take him out, but actually getting that to land without being slaughtered first would take almost a miracle probably.

---

I weigh 120 pounds and have never been in a fight in my life. Even an aging Mike Tyson is going to kill me.

---

If I'm dead I can't spend it.

---

Do I have to stay in the ring?

To be fair, Tyson chickens too.

nothing saying you can't cheat beforehand

lol no he would fucking kill me

Then I would hold a gun in one fist, and a knife in the other.
---

I have no desire to die, or to kill him So, no
---

No. I'd rather live.

---

Id bite both of his ears off

---

Old Mike still stomps hard if its fists alone so no. If we could use dirty tactics like balls kicking I might have considered.

True...unless the TC is talking about Mike Tyson's Punchout!!! on the NES

I'd do it if I could have 2 years to train... and if you feel that Mike Tyson might die of old age or something weird in 2 years we can just time travel back 2 years

I've seen your pictures, if Tyson sat on his ass for those two years he'd still curb stomp your ass.

---

Loophole! Wait until he's old as shit and then fight him.

Dude is way older than me, but in retrospect, 55 isn't all that old.

---

I am not much of a fighter, plus Tyson is a heavy weight whereas I am more of a super middle weight, so it would not be much of a match. The dude has like 50 pounds of muscle on me.

I don't understand the point of asking questions where there is an obvious answer. I'd wager 90% of the population would lose this fight. Like this isn't even an interesting or funny discussion.

@ASlaveObeys

I have questions, is it pure boxing? Because I just watched his match from this year, and he'd still fuck me up in a boxing match.

If it's just a fight, I'd win. He is a 50 something year old man who I have weight and height on. I'd cover my head rush in and take him down. I've been in the game long enough to finish him with grappling.

I'd even say I have a moderate to fair chance if kicks are allowed. It's much closer if it stays striking only, but as long as it isn't pure boxing I'd say the risk reward ratio is worth it.

EDIT: if it wasn't to the death I'd take the fight for any amount of money, to the death, though, I need either kicks allowed or MMA style to even consider it.

This. Despite his age, Tyson is still a trained boxer. Vs Joe Schmo, he could legit kill someone.

---

So I get no money and also Mike Tyson kills me? Pass. Dude still has freaky old man strength.

People have the "he'd kill me easy" part covered but this has another issue too imo. Even if this was a hypothetical fight I could win I wouldn't want to beat someone to death with my bare fists. The win condition sucks too, I don't want to be a murderer.

Not only that, he is still currently training and had an exhibition bout recently where he looked really good.

If the person fighting has no combat/mma training they're not beating him in a fight.

People still think they could take him in a street fight (but still no weapons)?

That is true. If UFC is anything to go by, most boxers have terrible grapple skills and usually lose to grapplers. I would imagine a fight to death would have no rules, outside of a lack of weapons, so you probably can be pretty effective if you are good at grappling.

I have over 20 years boxing (nowhere near a mike tyson level of skill or anything) and nearly 10 years of mauy thai and BJJ training at this point in my life. I'm 6'8" and 250 pounds. I'm also 20 years younger than Tyson.

I'm saying for a trillion dollars I'd take the odds, yes.

People play the lotto all the time, and the odds of Mike Tyson having a spontaneous aneurysm or heart attack during the fight are higher than winning the lotto... for a much lower payout

Ask me again in 15 years.

I hate adding conditions after the OP, but I think with "only fists" and "bare-knuckle boxing" in the first post, grappling would not be allowed.

Also my answer:

Fuck no he is much stronger than me and actually knows how to box

BUT BUT BUT
I'd probably be a favorite if you took conditions away. That said, part of me still wants to say yes, I cant take tyson in a straigh tboxing match, but bare knuckle means cuts and KOs are more likely... but also broken hands.

Nah, he'd fuck me up too fast I'd probably never land a punch. Unless I just danced around for an hour while he got tired and then went in? I don't think my conditioning is significantly better than even current tyson, though.

But for a trillion dollars I'm probably attempt the most boring no time limit boxing match ever and just circle out and if I could get inside and just put weight on him to gas him. I'd have to hope he lost a lot of power, and I know he has much less speed. I'd have to just hope he didn't land too much while I ran away, and wait.

That said, fight to the death bare knuckle boxing only, I would not favor myself even a little. Again, give me kicks or grappling and I'd do it tonight with no camp.

you didn't answer, is this prime mike tyson or tyson at his age now?

Current age

current age, then it's much more likely that a good, fit, guy could beat him. Him at like 22 there's no chance any internet neckbeard could beat him

---

If I'm able to go for the eyes/groin without penalty, then heck yeah.

---

Fuck no, even at his age he'd still destroy me.

I mean, at 22 no one's beating Tyson period.

Lesnar, GSP, whoever

Prime Tyson would kill them all.

I mean if you could sabotage Mike ahead of time you could win.

Tyson doesn't know the first thing about MMA. He would get taken to the ground and ground and pounded to death, choked out whatever. I mean he may get lucky and score a lucky knockout right away, but that is completely what he would rely on. The guy was not even that good at getting out of clinches in boxing, none the less a MMA clinch. I just feel the moment he starts getting grappled it is over for him and he is going to get grappled because he is a short fighter that needs to get in close to land punches.
