How many upsets would we get in time machine boxing matches?

I think there would be six upsets.

 

Not very many, unless the man with the time machine is uneducated.

 

I'd be more shocked by the fact someone decided the best use of a time machine is to pit Tyson vs Tom Sharkey.

 

I'm sure that most things you could do in a time machine just come down to personal preference at the end of the day. You've got all the time in the world.

 

True. To be fair, if I had one, I'd be the richest man in the world and I'd happily watch every great fight never filmed.

The real problem would be surviving time travel with a kidnapped Mike Tyson

 

I would, then I'd go back in time over and over again until he finally won.

 

I'm sure that you could convince him to come with you, but it'd become his time machine at a certain point.

 

I'm sure you could trick him into doing it. Imagine leaving Mike Tyson in 1898

 

Bad time for Mike. He'd probably enjoy meeting Jack Johnson, though.

 

A **** load.

It would be like actual fights, but with a lot more uncertainties and assumptions.

 

Agreed. Remember even something like Louis beating Ali would be regarded as an upset, in terms of how the majority would vote. There’d be plenty, just like in real life.

The comedic responses here by everyone have been gold, BTW.
