Why Doesn't Anyone Hire Mike Tyson to Train Them?

Tyson is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

You would be surprised...

Tyson is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

He was more of a blunt hitter, though his body shots were at pretty sharp angles

I could see Tyson giving Bones Jones some tips

AYTHH THECONDTH, MY FATHTETHT KNOCKOUT.

Hahahahahahah

 

[JT RIPPER]

I'll say it too, he's not a trainer

 

[sangreporsangre]

Good question TS. While we're at it, why doesn't Argentina hire Maradona to coach their national soccer team?

Legit thread if you replace Tyson with Rooney. Tyson couldn't even keep himself trained after he fired Rooney.

Tyson was not the most technical boxer out there. He used his raw power to beat a lot of his opponents. Plus once people had seen what he could do, it genuinely put fear into them. He had a lot of guys beat before they even stepped into the ring. I would honestly go with someone else, for boxing anyway. Now if you wanna be batshit crazy, then Tyson is your guy.

BS. Tyson was extremely technical in his prime, maybe the most technical out of anyone.

 

[JollyRants]

Ummm maybe because Mike Tyson is a boxer not a MMA coach lol and bat shit crazy.

Conor doesn't need help with his striking, he has different issues he needs to address

 

[JoshR86]

Tyson relied heavily on his speed and power, his boxing was subpar.
Can't really take away much from that

As long as they don't spar him. Mma is full of glass jaws. Imagine Tyson hitting them.

Imagine Tyson eating CC left head kick.

The jaws of boxing are no stronger than MMA. Bigger gloves, fewer angles means not getting hit with shots you don't see, and most guys in the UFC aren't 57-1 because of padded records fighting nobodies.

I imagine Tyson's advice would be very useful...if you were boxing, shorter than your opponents...and hit like nuclear fucking dynamite.

He was a little more technical coming up, but then declined on that department and went almost only for pure power like you say.

 

[Necrocrawler]

being a good fighter at one point in your life doesn't mean you would make a good coach.

Came here to say this.

 

[StopDucking]

I'd love to see his boxing style in MMA. I could picture a guy like Hector Lombard improving immensely.

Maybe Conor too? Conor could probably afford it.

The fact you think Conor McGregor should adopt the peek-a-boo style used by Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson shows you know jack shit about boxing. Never post here again.

 

[shococham]

Don't want to piss him off

 

[ameeksingh]

Probably worried he might rape them

I'll fuck you because you love me. Wait, that's not how it goes.

 

[honzo]

He's too scary
