Nathan Addict 175 posts	Friday 27th May 2005 at 14:01 Just wondered what you guys think of boxing (as in Mike Tyson, Bruno, Naseem, etc, kinda boxing). I'm asking as I'm thinking of going back to it for a bit as my knee's still dodgy. I can run about on it, but the kicks involved in Muay Thai are not a good idea with the injury I have at the minute. _____________________________

He'd walk straight into his opponent, completely ignoring their longer reach. The bloke was more of a fighter than a boxer right from the start.

To say he would do well or badly is pointless. We all have our own opinions of what might or would have happened and none of us are right or wrong. Tyson was a pure fighter both in the ring and outside the ring and he knew how to fight for real and not just in a sporting event. Towards the end of his career he forgot which fight was a sporting event and which fight was real, hence the biting and sh1T. He would do anything to win plain and simple. Hes a nasty man.:-D Who would win between mighty mouse and danger mouse?:-p Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Post

steve Resident 217 posts	Friday 3rd June 2005 at 13:49 Tyson also had a natural ability to drive all his bodyweight into his range of punches, especially hooks and uppercuts. He used the power of his legs, springboarding out of his toes, whilst twisting his body trunk (similar to a discus thrower)....this is why he was so devastating and his punching could get through to any opponent. His natural size and ability, without need to 'body build', kept him quick and he could dodge / weave / feint as well as most lighter fighting weights. IMO his explosive attacking would have been too much for any MMA fighter to cope with. "Its not the size of the dog i
