The Rock vs Mike Tyson at age 15

[cottagecheesefan]

Sorry, wasn't sure where to put this thread. Feel free to move to wasteland I guess. Work is slow, and I am bored, watching Mike Tyson highlights.

Both of these guys were monsters, even at a young age. Assuming they were the same age, who would win if these 2 were to get in a street fight at age 15.

Keep in mind, before he started boxing, he had been arrested 38 times by age 13, and at age 15, still had only just started learning the boxing craft

On the other hand, the Rock grew up in a family of pro wrestlers, and in high school was a top tier athlete (football, wrestling, track and field).

vs

EDIT:
Ok, ok. I would pick Tyson to, but I guess I also overestimated what people think of the Rock. I mean, I am sure the Rock could KO a lot of adults, even some harder tough guys in the hood, or more experience dudes in a boxing gym with his physicality and athletic ability alone. Keep in mind, he was NFL bound before injury.

But since everyone has picked Tyson. What are some athletes (NON COMBAT SPORT) or famous people you would actually pick over Tyson at age 15 in a street fight? Post picture of potential combatant please. I am adding this to OP.

Andre the Giant?

What about Bo Jackson? He grew up in an Alabama Hood and was fucking mad people up.

Still going with Tyson.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Tyson was beating guys twice his age at 15. Gotta go with Mike.

 

[yamahacrasher]

Have to go with iron Mike. Rock was big and strong I'm sure, but I've never heard anything about him being overly tough. Even a young inexperienced Mike Tyson would scare the piss out of me.

This right here.

Just because Rock has Samoan blood, that doesn’t make him a hard headed, badass tough guy(he’s only half Samoan anyway. Lol) Sure you wouldn’t want to fight the rock but you have to go Tyson easily.

Tyson was KOing adults in the street at 15.

Rock was playing grabass.

 

[Uptown Swinger]

LOL - not even close.

True, I haven't heard stories either, but he also grew up with a nicer, more stable childhood. I am giving him a little benefit of the doubt since he grew up in a family of pro wrestlers. I am guessing they horsed around some, and did some working out together. Pro wrestlers are known for being epic street fighters when on the road and drunk.

gotta go with Mike. At 15 that speed and agility was starting to fire on all pistons, that was what made Tyson to so dangerous along with his aggression, which by 15 he had plenty of.

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Tyson.



Next question.

I hope for OP's sake that he's trolling.

Yup I think I'd take an actual fighter over a body builder. Plus wasnt mike tyson a couple of years removed from his pro days?

I'll take Rock via confusing Mike with big words and the "People's Elbow".

Seriously, what if the fight goes to the ground? I'll take the wrestler.

 

[NHB7]

I suppose I don’t really care who was a tougher 15 year old.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

The Rock easily.

Look at that size advantage.

 

[cottagecheesefan]

LOL - not even close.

That is Tyson at age 17 tho after having been living in a perpetual boxing training camp for 2-3 years.

 

[superpunch]

I don't see how Mike Tyson wins this. Rock could just go for a double leg takedown and then what does Iron Mike do?

 

[Horse Style]

Pro wrestling isn't real wrestling. I don't think The Rock was practicing double legs at age 15

 

[Kanuck99]

Assuming its not a boxing match, the fight will likely end up on the ground.
