    Tyson and Mitch Green face each other in a second streetfight in 1989, after randomly encountering each other in a bar.

    Since this forum gives confident streetfight predictions about fighters who have never encountered each other, one would expect that predicting the outcome of this clash would be easy.

    Tyson shuts his other eye and screws his other hand up this time.
    Tyson blames it all on Robin...

    Anyway, I'm going to answer this one with the skeptics (if such exist on this forum.)

    We have zero footage of Tyson or Green in streetfights. This forum does not specialize in analyzing who would win streetfights. They are not a legitimate sport, and don't have official rules. We only have accounts and rumors of how the actual fight between Green and Tyson went down; not enough information to make a good pick. We have almost no other information about either man's prowess in streetfights against other professional boxers.

    Picking winners in streetfights between elite professional boxers strikes me as only a little more rigorous than debating Luke Skywalker versus the X-Men. Unless you are talking extreme examples -- a lightweight with no experience in streetfights versus Sonny Liston, or something -- how on Earth are we supposed to know?

    Bloods face gives me enough confidence to go out on a limb pick Tyson.

    Tyson is still a relatively young man at 56. Green is 9/10 years older and that makes a big difference. Unless of course the tall fella loads up on Popeye’s special anti aging, muscle building, strength inducing spinach. Because that’s the only thing that could save the old geezer from another pasting.

    Although I did specify this happens in 1989, this reply is funny enough that it would be churlish to disqualify it. :lol:

    Apparently Green was on PCP and didn't feel any pain, hence why he rose up like The Undertaker when Tyson floored him.

    how actual street fights are won:

    1) have more people and weapons
    2) be more brutal
    3) don't trip over your feet

    The X-Men would send Luke back to Tatooine.

    As for the topic …

    You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge.
