sorry but this is BS, iin st-georges (my natal city) some of the guys my age are local MMA fighter and like the usual MMA ******, they think theyre invincible, I've seen them fight in the street, in action when getting punched in the face thye dont try to grab arms, they always try to take ppl down.
When was the last time you saw a highly skilled mixed martial artist who even knew what an armbar was in a street fight?
I saw this vid of a nobody boxer running and jumping over the ropes when his opponent was chasing him. I guess that means all boxers can't handle any form of aggression or something. Perhaps it would be best to compare actual top notch MMA fighters rather than some schmucks you've seen at a gym starting out.
Tyson is one of the hardest hitting heavyweights of all time, along with phenomenal handspeed. He would not have a hard time finding Fedor's chin...and knocking him out cold with bare fists.
how about I just tell u my personal experience? I alreadyy told, some of them are real skilled, but all of them have problems in stand up ( well almost) like I stated I sparred with them and most of them who were practicing this for a few years while this being my second class were not able to bring me down and were getting their ass kicked on stand up till they had enought, and beleive me I'm far from a real good boxer. that tells enough about how would a prime tyson would fare against fedor, in my book its 50/50 if fedor got hit he would loose, if he skip block and take down mike, then its over.
You've said that you have experience in MMA as well, so you stuffing a takedown wouldn't be quite the same as someone with no experience stuffing it. And honestly, there is basically no comparison between that and Fedor vs Tyson.
did u ever try one of the 2? if yeah you would know what I'm talking about, throwing and landing a punch when u trained all your life for it doesnt even take the 1/4 of a second, while a takedown, or a kick takes a lot more time, my point is that if that punch lands, its over, if it dont and fedor manage to get inside of it its over too. thats all I'm saying
Fedor is a master of Sambo, which means he is fantastic in the clinch. If a boxer is overwhelmed on the feet, he'll simply clinch. Same with an MMA fighter facing a boxer, except MMA fighters are trained in the clinch, and Fedor would immediately take Tyson down off the first tie-up unless Tyson just landed the first punch he threw full on. Not very likely when looking at it from an objective point of view. And yes, I have trained in MMA and boxing. I prefer boxing as a sport aeesthetically, but in terms of which is the more effective overall, definitely MMA. Then again they are two different sports entirely where an MMA fighter beats a boxer under MMA rules and a boxer beats an MMA fighter under boxing rules, with some exceptions every now and then maybe.
I simply hate the casual MMA fan who never realy understood anything else then MMA and think u can be invincible cause u exerce more techniques of fighting while they dont understand u cant be 100% in every part of the arts theyre using, why? a lot of it is on the stand up positions and the way they cant do the weight transfer because of fear of take downs. I've been teached all that and seen it quite often on the professionnal and amateur ground
Pointless thread with a lot of childish remarks. I wish this board was at least restricted to 18 and up.
I see your point and thats what I'm often debating with my friends there at the gym, MMA is concentrated on opportunities, boxing is more of a hit and not get hit thing, u think tyson would try to tie fedor if the 2 knew themselves? tyson would stay ouutside waiting for him to make a move and I think fedor wouldnt try to exchange with him
btw sweet I'm not pointing u by saying the casual MMA fan cause I know u know your **** I' pointing the ones who always come in here and dish boxing because they think MMA fighter could always kick boxers asses outside of a ring. why would they fight outside of a ring anyway..
it's just like asking who would win 100 meters, bekele or michael johnson. you could also argue that mma is not as advanced as boxing from a training standpoint, still, that would be like comparing bekele with a top tier 200m guy from 50 years ago - he still wouldn't stand a chance. you must be totally out of your mind to vote tyson, and i'm one big tyson groupie.
Bruce Lee kills Fedor, so do Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston and George Foreman They'd land faster to the vital points
