Hmmmmmm, both the Williams Ko and Butterbean stoppage here in these clips were stopped way prematurely. When those MMA fighters went to the ground, they're actually at an advantage there, but the ref either was payed off or he just panicked.
See, now you are after moving the goal post. You said nothing about if Tyson was trained in MMA. You said a prime Tyson would beat anyone in the history of MMA, which is absolutely ****ing ridonkulous. Although I disagree that IF Tyson trained at MMA all his life, it's far less ludicrous than what you originally said. He was a supreme athlete who could have been great at MMA.
Nonsense. Cain would take Prime Tyson to the ground with EASE and maul the **** out of him. Cain would never win a boxing match against Tyson.
Tyson would get taken down and submited/pounded out in an mma fight, Tyson would knock Velasquez the **** out in a boxing ring.
Maybe you are unaware of Williams' backround? He is definitely not just a boxer. You must also be unaware of James Thompson's backround. The guy is an ongoing joke in MMA. You could make an amazing knockout highlight video from nothing more than Thomson being brutally knocked out. He is 3-12 in his last 15 fights. He was brutally knocked out in 10 of those 12 losses in his last 15 fights.
C'mon now, we're talking Iron Mike Tyson here. Mike Tyson is where this whole 'baddest man on the planet' thing came from back in the 80's as that was one of his first, early nicknames.. The real, original baddest man on the planet. Boxing fans know this. We know who wins a boxing fight - Tyson KO1. A prime, ferocious, explosive, dynamic Tyson also wins the mma fight - Tyson was knocking guys who out-weighed him by 40 lb's clean off their feet with those 10 ounce gloves, he would have been devastating with those tiny 4 ounces on. Shoot in and go to sleep..
How would Cain be able to use his strength as a wrestler by entering Tyson's kill zone? wrestlers need to work their way inside an opponents reach to be able to use their wrestling - Would not be an easy task against a true one-punch KO artist like Tyson. Tyson would be even more effective with those 4 ounce gloves on, it would have been easier for him to put guys to sleep. So Cain would shoot for a single/double leg? And not take a one of Tyson explosive combos to the head? Goodnight.
I don't know the fighters name but he outweighed Tyson by atleast 30-40 lb's and he was literally thrown off his feet with a hook and KO'd.
Thing is mma fighters aren't freaking morons they got game plans too, game plan for a boxer (in this case, Tyson) would be to go for the KO boxing style. Cain, on the other hand, would obviously avoid boxing range and look for a takedown, he'd most likely throw kicks, which a boxer is clearly not used to and set up the takedown. It takes just one mistake, like being too aggressive early, and the next thing you know you're on your ass. Best example is GSP in most of his fights, he sets up most of his takedowns without taking a single shot. Of course one clean punch from tyson and it's over, but a clever mixed martial artist would use the kicks to keep him away, and as soon as the boxer's down it's over.
Yeah really not mate. Ive seen all of Tysons title fights. I can't remember anybody even outweighing him in his prime by more than about 20lbs.
At lets not forget, If a legendary boxer like Tyson was to step in and have an mma fight he would do it the professional way and work on avoiding/blocking kicks and hypothetically in this case against a wrestler like Cain he would extensively work on utilizing the 'sprawl n brawl' Tyson's power at his peak was mortal, he could literally put fighters to sleep with one punch.
