Iron Mike Tyson vs ex-UFC or pride heavyweights

[GrizzlyMan]

So with Rafael Cordiero saying Mike wants 3 more fights after Roy Jones Jr., does anyone here want to see or could imagine any former UFC or Pride heavyweights going up against him in a freakshow boxing match?
I got Mark Hunt by walkoff KO!

or Iron Mike by murder...

Bob Sapp would do it in a heartbeat..

Mike just needs money. Still a scary and powerful mofo.

Vitor Belfort might be up for it. They've appeared in AEW together.

 

[MisterWillis]

Are knockouts allowed or not?

I’m not sure how many heartbeats he has left!

 

[GrizzlyMan]

I’d like to hope so!

that would be awesome! Let Vitor juice!

Totally agree! It might not be very ethical these days given his age, but I’ll be watching!

I can't not watch. Too much nostalgia and what ifs.

 

[GrizzlyMan]

Frank Mir might be crazy enough to have a go.

I bloody well hope not though!

Pure suicide

I wouldn’t be shocked if Roy smashes aluminum foil Mike. Mike is probably the single most overrated athlete of all time. His best win is a washed up Holmes or Razor. He is a front runner that caves when pressured and has jaw is glass now too.

You're right. But you can't say that on sherdog. Tyson is seen as an unstoppable God on sherdog. Even though he only had 3 great years and didn't beat many good boxers in those 3 years

Roy is amazing and has obviously been active much more recently. No doubt the odds favour him realistically.
It might be hazy popular memories but man... Mike was and possibly still is, if not a beast then stil at least a bit of a handful?
I dunno, but man do i want to see!

Yeah. He fought in a pretty bad era in HW boxing and when he faced anyone any good, he lost.

Don't get your hopes up lol. They both look good in training, but they will both likely look awful in the ring

It’s hard sparring man don’t get too offended by two former greats ( overrated or not Tyson had a great run early) trying to cash in

Revisionist history, more to the story than just the record. Dude basically destroyed his own life and career and peaked well before he had the big name fights. Millionaire at 19 with no guidance and surrounded by leeches couldn't possibly end well.

Also It's not like Cus D'Amato was teaching an unproven fighting style, even if Mike didn't execute on it we know it worked well as fuck historically.
He made a chinny MW the youngest HW champion in history before Mike, bodes well for success in a relatively weak division hypothetically.
