    Why are we underestimating Tyson in prison? He used to beat and rob people.

    That's what I'm saying. Mike has some familiarity with that kind of stuff.

    You'd be surprised. Its been taught in most self-defense schools pre-MMA and people in serious harm unwittingly do it without thinking (like biting). Bending and twisting somebody's fingers is not terribly hard to do.

    Small-joint manipulation has been banned in MMA for over 10 years, and even before the ban it was seldom used in competition.

    I think even Georges St. Pierre can beat Mike Tyson in his prime in an MMA FIGHT...now if ur talking a boxing match or maybe even a backyard brawl, prime Tyson is the clear winner against any MMA fighter, ever

    the average dweeb on here has never even been in a fight much less know anything about it other than what they argue about all day on here. they say **** like "mike would kill them with one hand" "it would take 10 guys" "them bums in prison". its easy to see they know nothing about the **** they argue but it makes them feel more secure about their own weakness if they think only trained boxers can fight. hacks get killed all the time but these same killers would be afraid to confront mike for whatever reason, go figure. these couch warriors probably think there is a call out and then they square off in a fighting stance and proceed to throw hands and mike just left hooks them into the morgue. lol, then they tell you you watch too many movies for thinking a bonified killer would be crazy enough to bark at mike. ive met several boxers, a couple of special ops guys and a 3rd degree black belt that were in prison so there are guys who are more than just good street fighters who are locked up.
    it doesnt sound like mike was in a high security unit so he probably wasnt around the true killers and predators. in that scenario, i dont see mike geting into anything he would have to worry about. i dont think he took any beats in a low risk unit.

    I heard this before back in the day. The movie undisputed with Ving Rhimes and Wesley Snipes was probably made with this rumor in mine. Considering what Tyson is capable of doing with the gloves on, makes it hard to believe that any one in prison would want to go one on one with him in the first place.

    Its possible im gonna say maybe id rather see other witness accounts not one guy who heard things

    I can buy it

    Prime Tyson was from 1985 to like 1991 he was in prison like 1992 to like 1995 or 1993 to like 1996. Thats past his prime

    Plus Tyson was not training he was probably gaining weight not as sharp

    Plus the stroy said he was winning fights til guys wrestled him.

    Is that hard to believe he was a smaller HWT who did get clinched a lot by bigger guys

    In jail theyd probably clinch and unlike in a boxing ring head butt elbow bite choke

    Boxers are not trained to wrestled is it hard to believe a much bigger prisoner couldnt wrestle Tyson to the ground and lay on him and tire an out of training Tyson who did have stamina issues

    Its semi possible but im not gonna believe it til i hear more ppl say this is true

    a 36-year-old Tyson is not the same as a 26-year-old Tyson. Tyson, in his prime, could have quite possibly beaten any HW.

    anyone with an IQ over 80 would not want to get hit by a gloveless prime Mike Tyson.

    obviously, some of the people here on the ESB forums have only been in internet fights.

    tyson, lewis, norton, shavers, frazier, cooney...these kind of punchers could kill you if they connect clean.

    there are some people who possess the same power that are currently serving time for manslaughter that would tell you the same.

    exactly, plus the source said Tyson won the fights when they went toe to toe

    but he lost fights that wwent to the ground

    is Tyson a wrestler no he is a boxer in prison u can elbow head butt bite push someone up agaisnt a wall punch in the balls

    plus Tyson was no longer in his prime and he wasnt training in Jail

    A 6'5 250 pound guy wrestles him down and lays on him sounds plausible

    i mean guys like Tucker and Bonecrusher held and clinched him a lot

    im not saying its definite i wanna hear this from other sources
