Does any heavyweight beat Mike Tyson in a streetfight?

You've obviously never been in a street fight if you say this. Size means next to nothing in a street fight. As a matter of fact, from the majority of fights, I've seen, it's the smaller guy who has the better balance and wins out the majority of the time.

 

Like I have posted, you do not need to be a martial artist to engage in a street fight, you fight with your dukes, your feet and legs, whatever it takes to win. I have seen a wrestler takes down a martial arts trained fighter before. A lot of us did not have a wealthy mommy and daddy to send many of us to take karate lessons, and we all did just fine.

 

Yeah

And whoever gets off first from what I've seen ... And whoever does the most cheap shots and "illegal" stuff

The psychology of a street fight is different than a sanctioned boxing match with rules, a referee, and judges

You got that right, a swift kick between the legs can sure change everything in a matter of seconds, no referee to penalize you. Just you and the other guy.

 

Bobby respects the old time traditions of bareknuckle boxing though.

He'd probably just use his 2 fists.

He probably wouldn't attack anybody whilst they were on the floor.

He probably wouldn't grab anybody around the throat and choke them etc.

 

I think Tyson actually admitted once he got fearful against mitch blood, in the streets in 88. Mitch grabbed hold of him and Tyson attempted to walk away, he got a hand shake out of him but then he started up again so Tyson maybe on instinct belted him.

 

Lets see... Jeffries, Dempsey, Sullivan, galento, listen, Cobb, Frazier, holyfield etc
Free huey, mcvey, the morlocks

 

I'm hoping mcvey does manage to get back!

 

Size matters a lot in MMA, and that's the closest thing we have to street fights. And of course, mass does matter in street fights, A 250 pound beast will be able to toss around somebody who's 130 pounds like they're nothing.

 

An obvious answer would be Alexander Povetkin, who, besides being larger than Tyson, was a kickboxing world champion. Kyotaro Fujimoto, a joke to many boxing fans, would likely also beat Tyson. He isn't larger in terms of weight, but of course is an excellent kick boxer, and beat kickboxing legends.

 

Bowe sucker punched Donald for no reason and didn’t drop him. That wasn’t a street fight situation, it was a weak, punk, b*tch act.

 

To this day I don't see anything that would provoke him to do that or perhaps I'm just missing something?

Bowe should've been charged for assault there and Donald took those punches like a man. Bowes power is definitely overrated and got what he deserved from Golota.

 

I haven’t liked Bowe since this moment (though I did feel sorry for him during the second Golota fight).

It was inexplicable why he did it. Donald wasn’t a noted trash talker and wasn’t being remotely aggressive towards Bowe. It was a weak act and Bowe kept finding himself in these sort of controversial situations throughout his career. I put some blame on his manager and entourage as well. He was surrounded by low life’s (with the exception of Eddie Futch) and I think this negative energy rubbed off on him.

 

Bowe was a ghetto street guy and couple that with brain damage and bad company around him it's a recipe for this kind of behavior.

Dude had a "prime" of literally one fight against a roided up cruiserweight in Holyfield.
