Would a prime Mike Tyson style of fighting be ok for MMA?

I actually think Tyson would be a lot like Crocop. Not the chin thing, but some nights he would look unbeatable, and others he would look helpless.

I struggle to imagine what he could do in the clinch. Talk all you want about the thai plum, you grab Tyson in it, and he can simply counter with a short uppercut or just bang the body. I get the feeling he would break his hands though. He was such a dynamic puncher that I have no doubt he could destroy people standing flat footed.

 

A lot of mma fans are deluded to believing that what happens to boxers in k1 will happen in mma.Avg mma artist is a third rate kick boxer who leave their chin open.And even the unsuccessful boxers who do k1,loss for taking the fight in 2 weeks notice while being washed up or a can eater.And
not training for Kick Boxing.

F*** even Francois Botha Managed to secure 2 victories, Peter Aerts and Jerome Le Banner, Two p4p Kick Boxers.Yet I haven't seen any kick boxer
do the same to any p4p boxer in boxing.

 

well he better not fight Maia or it will be over in 30 seconds.

 

You've never been in a thai clinch have you?

Jab and grab was the way people nullified Tyson back in his prime.
What makes you think it'll be any different now that the grabbers are allowed to bust him up with knees and elbows?

Botha is being used as an argument for why boxers survive in K1?
The guy got KOed by Mighty Mo.
Botha got armbarred by a 185lb fighter in his lone mma match.
Yeah he decisioned Kaoklai, but that guy fights heavyweight in the 170s and fought in the 155lb K1-max tournament.
He got dropped by Fujimoto and Khattou from punches.
Aerts and JLB are famous for having "off" nights - they're road warriors with LOTS of mileage.

What about the other pro boxers then?
Vince Phillips, Mercer, or Arthur Williams?

Klitschko was a C-Level kickboxer KOd by a spin kick.

K1 is even a moot point because they've got like a 2 second clinch rule.
Even still, watch what Bonjasky did to Manhoef & tell me Tyson would do much better.
I think guys like Ignashov, Hoost, Bonjasky, or Schilt in mma or full thai rules against Tyson is a bad night for Tyson.

 

That's only if you're an ignorant fool who knows nothing whatsoever about MMA. Otherwise you're on the right track. :good

 

It's interesting to think about, but I think he would be better served to treat the clinch like Crocop does, use it to push away and avoid it all costs otherwise.

I think that just because in his boxing career, for all his strength, he would usually be the man being controlled and moved about.
