    I would turtle shell and probably after the 1st punch that lands flush or not I'm sure I wouldn't be able to go on anymore.

    I see your point. But you can't get counted out against a polar bear or lion. Their predatory instincts will tell them to kill you. In a fight against Tyson, you can always pretend to get hurt by some phantom punch and get counted out and it's over.

    But yeah, you can't underestimate the power of Tyson and what effect it can have on a regular person who never does any neck training. He could literally break necks against regular people. That's why you go down after the first punch. :good

    I know just kidding. :lol:

    That would probably be my gameplan as well, do a Sonny Liston.

    Yeah I'm not looking to trade with him. And I'm not going to sit there and let him hit me with my gloves down. I'm sure if he hit me with my gloves up the force would be enough to make me flat on my back. And I'm not going to want to get up after that. 10 count and cool million.

    Also, a Polar bear is about 20 times stronger than Tyson and it has deadly claws.

    But you know what...ain't no chance I'm losing to a white bear. j/k

    Of course that's true, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the question doesn't it? If I could pretend to get hit by a car and just fall over I'd run into traffic for $50. :rofl I see what you're saying though, K22. Still, I'd rather answer the question honestly and directly instead of adding some special amendment or proviso to my answer.

    Considerin I was teenager in 1986, my one hope would have been my power to bail me out. Some stupid, huge, once in a lifetime punch.

    It wouldnt land. But I would see if I could make it out of one round.

    You're all a bunch of pussies!!!! I'd knock him out easily, just give me 2 rounds!

    Oh also give me a Medievil Knight Suit, chainmail, a Warhammer and a full-length shield...

    Oh yeah, don't suppose you could also throw in a machine gun for me too? Thanks guys.

    The better question would be - would you do it if you had to be standing at the end of the first round.

    And Mikes 50 million dollar cut was dependent on him knocking you out in the 1st

    In that case, "HELL NO."

    I especially don't like the 2nd part. That's not good news for me. :lol:
