If 20 year old Mike Tyson started training mma in 2010 how would he have done

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Crocop was taken down by Roy Nelson via double leg, there is no excuse for any of the stupid shit you just wrote

Let it go you have no argument here

Again you're you use old Cro Cop as your bases for him not being explosive, you're a troll and a shitty one.

This thread is about what if a 20 year old Mike Tyson went into MMA and you're bringing up a 40+ year old Cro Cop as if that's somehow relevant? It's weird to do that, it would make way more sense to compare him to Cro Cop when he was young and transitioning from another combat sport but that would be a decent comparison and you don't want to make one.

I never seen peek a boo work in MMA and I also never heard of Tony Atlas training MMA fighters so there is a solid chance he would have been a no name

Ah, a other great "how would Mike Tyson have done at mma?" threads. Always a good time. Same time next week, fellas?

 

[superpunch]

He's too small for LHW and HW. Without a wrestling background and being that small, he'd get grapple fucked. So, he'd have to fight at 185 and who knows how his athletic attributes would look after losing 10 lbs of muscle.

 

[JarlSkuld]

Since HW is such a sad division, your Hypothetical Tyson would destroy everyone.

He was getting slammed on his head by Randleman in his 20s... You are not making any sense

Unless you can somehow prove that a 5'9 mike tyson would have a been a great grappler AND kickboxer at heavyweight you are going no where with this

imagine prime Tyson with a bb in bjj

wish he met a gracie instead of don king

Who knows. He would physically be the best, but he is really mentally weak and didn't handle adversity very well. Not sure why Tyson is always the example used. Someone like Ali had the heart, brain and body type for MMA that Tyson didn't have. If he started MMA at a young age he would probably be way better then Tyson ever would be

Well if he started training MMA seriously, he wouldn't use peek a boo style

Johnson does not have Tyson's power, Tyson stopped people with body shots.

Tyson didn't have the one punch KO power MMA fans think he had. His stoppages were almost always from punches in bunches

 

[613]

since boxers rely on blocking with the gloves.

Boxers have better head movement and footwork then any combat sports. Idiots need to stop thinking they just block everything with their gloves.

Who said that? Boxers can also have the footwork And head movement, since they only need to look out for their opponents upper body.

Yeah well Tyson would be an MMA fighter with a boxing background if he started MMA. Boxers is the best combat sport for transitioning over to MMA and avoiding strikes by far. Their ability to read their opponents body language, distance control, rolling with strikes and head movement is far better then other combat sports. The small gloves seem to effect kickboxers switching over to MMA the most

Basically Rumble Johnson

20 year old Tyson in 2010?

He's obviously talking about hypothetically if Mike Tyson were born later in life with the same genetics, and was training/fighting in MMA in 2010.

These troll replies are so stupid. You either knew what he was talking about or you've got some learning disability.

Lol calm down, kid. It was a joke. Go change your tampon before you reply next time

The real question is how would a 20 year old Spartacus fare if he started training around early 11th century.

I don’t think it is. A kickboxer has more tools, And is used to watching out for kicks too. I think a boxer struggles more, as he is very specialized in one field.

Maybe Tyson would do good, but not because he is a top boxer.

 

[ChuFye]

Ill just leave this here... That was a few weeks ago...

Why not a 20 year old Tyson in 2019?
