Wow, what a great thread. Comparing Kimbo, a street brawler turned MMA fighter who is still a beginner, to Mike Tyson, an experienced boxer....oh and this is definitely fair....comparing Tyson's BOXING to the boxing of someone who isn't a boxer.... Yup. Perfect way to compare the two.
/sarcasm
But really, of course the boxer is gonna have better boxing. That being said, I know Kimbo doesn't have a ground game but he did a lot better on the ground in his last fight than I expected. I don't see why he'd stand with Tyson. He'd probably take it to the ground. Now that being said...I'm pretty sure the fight ain't happening since every time Tyson has been asked in interviews if he'll ever return to fighting, he says no.

"Mike Tyson's height is 5 ft 10 in (178 cm)
US Heavyweight Boxer. He measured himself in 2005 and declared he was a 'pathetic' 5ft 10. In the late 80's he was reported 5ft 11.5, in 1986/87 also 5ft 9. I am going to leave him at what he claims to have measured himself at."

Perhaps you should do your research before you call people "idiots".
BTW..."your 14". LOL

Thompson's shots were ineffective because he was putting himself out of position and flying at Kimbo like an airplane. When shooting, you still have to maintain the integrity of your stance and change levels at the hips (by squatting down, essentially) and not at the waist (i.e. bending over).
Thompson just leaned forward and dove at Kimbo's legs. That's JV high school wrestling right there.

True holyfield was olympic pedigree
But Actually Holyfield was brawling with Tyson and beat him in a war of attrition...he stood up to the bully like buster douglas and broke tysons will...I doubt kimbo would have the kinda heart he would of busted a bruce seldon on tyson.
Lennox Lewis was the Technician or the Pugilist Specialist as he calls himself he broke tyson down in one of the worst schoolings he was pure textbook and didnt even have a scratch.

Of course he's not a manlet. It's funny because people always show him next to humungus people and say he's tiny when he's pretty big guy overall. BTW Tyson was actually more like 230-235 walk around weight even in his prime. He cut 15 lbs to get into fight shape and fought around 215-220 in his younger days. If you train 8+ hours a day you will lose weight.

Dude that is the point of this ****ing thread. How unrealistic it is for Kimbo to fight tyson. That is why we are "compairing" their hand speed. Although technically we were all making fun of it. Kimbo is joke and would get tooled if Tyson even looked at him the wrong way. We all know this, but MMA groupies don't. So why don't you chill the **** out and spend more time outside instead of making 3,000+ posts in a section you know nothing about, k?

If you refer to a fighter who you've never met in real life as "my boy" as though their performance somehow reflects well on you for simply being a fan, you're a lame ass.
