Not really
A low kick is about the easiest thing to learn and it's not something he would even need. Checking kicks wouldn't matter as much because he'd be moving fighters backwards and looking to get to get in on them ASAP. He wouldn't kickbox.
This is heavyweight kickboxing. Mike Bernardo, Ray Sefo, Mark Hunt had success as basically punchers. Hell, Mighty Mo had a decent run for a moment.
When I think of a Tyson-Hug or Tyson-Aerts fight it's not hard to see Tyson fucking them up. The speed and punching power is just off the charts. Not saying they couldn't beat him, but he'd be a serious problem.
There is a reason why Shannon Briggs was pulled out of K1. The Yakuzas knew he would destroy the K1 branding and the kickboxing/muay thai world.
Shit, Albert Kraus with mediocre boxing boxed his way to the k1 champ. lol.
