Current Events > Okay, this is gonna sound random...but I'm trying to settle a debate.

(+) Yeah! (+)

If five dudes who were all 6'0"-6'3" and 200+ pounds straight-up jumped Mike Tyson in an attempt to physically overwhelm him, do you think Mike would still manage to beat all of their asses and come out on top?

If they can grab him then yes but only if they worked together and didn't hesitate

What era Tyson? 2019 or 80s?

Prime and current.

Now? Probably. I don't know if he does any light boxing to keep form or stay in shape, but these days he is a fairly gentle guy. He knows he has made mistakes in his life so while I don't think he is a pacifist, he isn't a testosterone fueled wrecking ball like he used to be.

Prime Tyson? He would absolutely destroy them all no contest.

Here's Tyson from the last 6 months:

I'll take Tyson.

5 prepared dudes catching him off guard? Yeah, they'll win.

This. Doesn't matter how great your boxing is. If you get ambushed from behind and held in a full Nelson or tripped and they're just wailing on you, not a lot of shit you can do

I have two friends who think Mike Tyson would still somehow obliterate everyone. Their argument is basically that he's insanely strong & fast, and that nobody's hits are going to hurt him. lol Mike Tyson is obviously an exceptional boxer, but holy shit, you'd have thought we were talking about The Incredible Hulk with the way my friends described him lmao

This. Like 5 (competent) cops could do it but probably not 5 Joe schmoes of the street.

There's a story about Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell getting into a scrap with some guys outside a bar once years back. Supposedly Tito stayed out in the open and ended up getting KOed, but Chuck backed up to a wall so they had to come to him and knocked out like 5 of them before they decided to leave.

That's pretty impressive.

One head punch from prime Tyson would knock each guy out, so unless they're holding him they're fucked.

people seriously underestimate how much damage 5 full grown men can do.

Especially when they get the drop on someone, and from the sounds of it these guys are of a decent size and probably not weaklings.

Even 1 person of that description getting a chokehold on a prime tyson has the serious potential to down him.
---

The 5 guys win. Tyson is a boxer. He can fight people in front of him, but if all 5 jump him at the same time... 2 guys take out his legs and he crumbles to the ground.
---

If they ambush him somewhere?

He has no chance

this

seriously 5 vs 1, the 1 better be bruce lee, chuck norris and mike tyson combined to stand a chance. Anyone can grab and you only have 2 eyes.

When I took 11 guys, I was on shitter in head when the first three attacked me. Which then escalated to every guy in there attacking me at once.

Afterwards I did not have so much as a bruise and they were all bloody with teeth everywhere and gashes covering their arms/faces and ripped gear before two MPs came and stopped it. Two of the original three were completely knocked out.

But not one of them was without their own blood all over them.

5 guys with the smallest amount of planning will take Mike or anyone else for that matter down

Of course if they just line up one by one they will all get knocked out but 5 people will overwhelm him easily
---

For the record, I told my friends that the five dudes would have the advantage. They acted as if I was crazy, lol
---

Didnt he get attacked by a bunch of guys in prison and whoop their ass?

Prime Tyson would absolutely stand a chance against 5 men because every hit hes knocking someone down or out. If the 5 men were all skilled at combat it would be tough for him however. And they would need to be equally big

Depends if his pigeons have been threatened.

If they have then he'll tear the arseholes out of ten guys.
---

I think if a street brawl suddenly broke out then Tyson would be able to decimate all of them before they'd even figure out what was happening.

But if they coordinated a plan then they could overpower him I think.
---

The only way Tyson would win is if they all stood around and waited for him to do something. Five guys tackling you all at once is going to overpower you unless youre literally superhuman

Yep. It ain't like the movies where 100 guys attack one guy but for some reason only approach him one at a time from his front
---

people underestimate how much of a difference it makes when you're an experienced fighter. It'd take one or two punches a piece for him to lay them out, plus he knows footwork and how to dodge. Inexperienced randoms would have no chance without weapons of some kind. These guys would also be in each other's way.
---

So it seems like there are generally two thought processes here. One being,

"When you're insanely strong, fast, and overall skilled, it's totally possible to knock out multiple people because each blow is either going to knock out or send them flying. I can see Mike Tyson winning because of this."

and the other being,

"No matter how awesome a fighter you are, five bigass men are gonna be enough going to overwhelm you. This ain't like the movies, son!"

@the0rebirth, guess this wasn't as clear-cut as I thought it'd be. lol
