kimbo will dominate tyson, tyson is to slow and not to mention to OLD.. KIMBO will win hands down.
tyson mite be old but he still way faster den kimbo
tyson hits a few combos, keeps moving and wen kimbo starts to get tired he becomes more vulnerable, dat lets tyson use his big right hook(also his fav punch)and big kimbo goes down
tyson by KO.
There is NO way Kimbo can outclass Tyson.
Keep on dreaming… HAHA
Tyson may be 40 something but one thing he did not loose is his power and this power is too much for kimbo
and dont forget that tyson can take a punch too
no Tyson will make Kimbo shiver from the first hit
and the second will put him down !!
Man! Your the only one that understands what would realy happen. Kimbo is a good street fighter however he has never been hit has hard as Tyson would hit him. The devastating power that Tyson has would rock him, once on the chin and Kimbo is done. Now with that said if he gets Tyson on the ground (which he should do if he’s smart) then Tyson could be in trouble, but if they fight straight up and slug it at each other Kimbo’s out in 30 secs!
wrong have you seen tysons recent fights he cant drop old men or young boxers that have no real credentials to be in the ring now this beast Kimbo is stepping up …….. I think you need to watch more tape Tyson is sloppy and cant throw an accurate enough punch to hurt the bear Kimbo Slice
kimbo will kill him have you seen his street fights he just lets people hit him in the face then beats their ass, ans have you seen the kimbo vs. tank fight, tank got owned
shut the **** up wit that hoe ass shyt, all yall ****** kno that tyson is the best fighter in the ****in world no ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tyson in his prime would PROBABLY rock him.. there are nothin for sure… tyson sucks now.. didnt you see the him fight evander so desprate he bit his ear… l lewis beat the crap out of him… lewis has no chance against kimbo
As of today tyson may lose but if it was the 90s no doubt tyson would but now a days kimbo would have it allday long but kimbo cant go allday long at last him and kimbo is done but ima fan of both of these guys
this is a very good point in the fights that i have seen kimbo gets very tired affter abought ten min or so . he cant breath how ever mike could just defend himself thean
put an end to kimbos carrier. step it up kimbo u r in for the fight of your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People…Mike Tyson as a 13 year old boy was knocking out grown men! Tyson as an 18 year old fighting under the guidance of Cus D’mato would not beat Kimbo Slice in a bare handed street fight…no no no….Tyson would f’ing KILL him! not pound on him, I am talking MURDER! It would be over as soon as a young Tyson would hit him. an 18 year old Tyson was too strong, and too fast for Kimbo to ever keep up with him!
Now a days, Tyson has lost his lighting speed, but he still has his power to a degree and the man is and always will be a borderline psychopath! In a regulated MMA match, the edge would certainly go to Kimbo. In a regulated boxing match, the edge still might go to Kimbo. In an unregulated street fight where anything would go….I would put my whole life savings on Mike Tyson, because I think Tyson would just wild out bite kimbo and drink his blood or something crazy like that!
mike tyson wont even go as low as to fight kimbo slice..haha mike would completely destroy him, kimbo has never fought anyone good. sean gannon as 40 some years old and out of shape and beat him up.
He just fought and beat Tank Abbot. While this wasn’t much of a fight (Tank is 42 and out of shape) it was important as Kimbo symbolically took Tank’s former title as “The Brawler” or “Pit Fighter”.
Is he good? Maybe, maybe not, but he can gather a crowd and makes MMA exciting again. With time and more training who knows?
I say he could take Mike Tyson. Tyson wouldn’t be use to MMA and he would get destroyed.
no way could kimbo beat tyson
kimbo wouldnt be able to handle mikes skills
only way kimbo would win is if he took tyson to the ground
standing up tyson would knock his head off
brnleague99 posted: If Tyson takes Kimbo lightly, he will follow Bo Cantrell and Tank Abbott into oblivion, BUT if he trains seriously and brings out one iota of the power he used to knock out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds in 1988…Kimbo will lose.
I say Tyson won’t be use to the MMA stuff and get taken off guard. Sure Kimbo is green, but given some more time to train in MMA and I think he could be pretty good.
I think Kimbo would win the fight, i love Tyson but he isn´t the 20-23 old Tyson who never loss. Tyson don´t fight yet, but Kimbo train hart als Heel.
I´d like to see this fight.
“IRON” Mike Tyson would put an end to this freak! Kimbo is just fun to watch, but he has never come close to facing an opponent like MIKE! Sean Gannon(Peter Mcneely)gave Kimbo trouble. If he got within arms distance, you would see who the real LION was! Tyson would murder him!!
Tyson is a trained fighter, Kimbo is a recently inducted MMA fighter. Tyson hits as hard if not harder and has a better ability to make Kimbo miss. Tyson has better control, better combo ability. While both are good at their chosen profession, Mike is in a different class than Kimbo and would win for that reason. Keep in mind that Mike lost to a trained fighter, not some mutt that thinks he is a bad ass because he is black and has dreads.
Tyson will never go back wards, regardless of size and weight, Tyson will just jab him to death and when kimbo comes close BOOOOM uppercut hook hook lights out,
but kimbo slice is a beast though,
Tyson in his prime – impregnable
Tyson and kimbo now – kimbo wins by points
Tyson and kimbo back in the day – kimbo needs a funereal
Estimados:
Tyson es el màs grande boxeador de todos los tiempos; el màs guapo. Pero Kimbo Slice es un PELEADOR CALLEJERO, con pocas reglas, sin estatutos rìgidos.
Yo creo que en una pelea callejera , sin los 3 minutos de descanso Kimbo lo destruye al gran Tyson.
Regards.
Mike Vs Kimbo ———— Tyson down kimbo in round 3 easy kimbo slice may be able to hit hard but he aint so gd at getting hit hard n thats exactly wat Tyson can do , ny1 who thinks kimbo would win ,,,,, WISE UP !
[…] Slice vs Mike TysonWho would win?http://w00tpwnage.com/kimbo-slice-vs-mike-tyson/10/17/2007/Kimbo vs Tyson? Make it happen Gary Shaw!!! - Sherdog Mixed …Feb 17, 2008 … During the post […]
mike tyson would win as even though he is out of shape and getting old he would still have most of his boxing skills so standing up he would win. the people who are saying he would get beat if he got took to the ground are wrong as tyson was a brawler in his younger years so he obvioulsy knows how to handle himself if he gets tooken to the ground.
in my opinion tyson would win.
Mike Tyson… arguably the hardest hitting boxer to ever step into the ring Vs one of the baddest brawlers to hit the Octagon since Tank Abbot . Hmmmm.
First it’s a fight that I hope will never happen. Why you ask? Because any sport that inducts the infamous Mike Tyson into its ranks runs the risk of losing its legitimacy. “POINT BLANK” And, I believe that MMA as an industry, as a new sport and as a viable replacement for boxing and every other pugilistic sport in the world has worked to long and hard to blow any of its efforts on one match.
Kimbo, the monster Jamaican in my opinion has everything to lose and nothing to gain from a MMA (Mockery Match) anyway. Let’s start with the injury factor.
There is no doubt that Mike Tyson has the ability to KO fighters but, he has also ruined some very promising careers as well like Jesse Ferguson (Broke Nose), Mitch “Blood” Green (Orbital fracture) Orlin Norris( Knee injury do to punch), Donovan Ruddock (Broken Jaw) just to name a few. While all of these injuries are not permanent it does hinder there careers because of how easy it is to re-injure these areas. Why would Kimbo want to risk his career on one fight; even worse than that a Tyson fight could possibly result in Kimbo losing creditability as a legitimate fighter especially when he has worked this hard to gain respect in the MMA game because whether he wins or loses he will either be remembered as the guy who lost to an old lion that was way past his prime witch boxing enthusiasts every where would swear that boxing is back or the guy who beat up a washed up fighter and dubbed a bully… The same way Tyson was portrayed when he beat up Larry Holmes or when Larry Holmes beat up an over aged Mohamed Ali…either way it doesn’t benefit Kimbo to fight Tyson.
But, if I have to pick a winner I would still have to go with Tyson and for those of you that think differently I would like to remind all the Kimbo lovers that Iron Mike Tyson won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 in the first round and those fights where against trained professional fighters with chins that where forged in the fires of the fight game and at that time he was wearing 12 once gloves and not MMA gloves which are little more than bag gloves with the fingers cutout which means, at least to me, that a knock out would be eminent.
Remember, the 5 ft 11 Monster has only lost to taller fighters with a greater reach than 76 in and a faster back peddle like the 6 ft 2 in Evander Holyfield, 6ft 3in Henry Tillman, 6 ft 4 “Buster” Douglas and the 6 ft 5 in freak of nature Lenox ” Only Fight from a Distance ” Lewis. Both fighters called “out-fighters” use distance as apposed to power to win fights with Tyson but the 6 ft 2 in Kimbo although decidedly taller is a Brawler which plays into the Tyson game plan. Kimbo would have to learn how to jab Mike Tyson from the outside and tie him up on the inside. Many have tried and few have succeeded.
Kimbo’s best chance to beat Mike Tyson would be on the ground which means that Kimbo would have to risk the clinch or the shoot, both very bad ideas when fighting the much shorter X-Champ. Tyson’s crouching style would make the clinch (double under hooks) very hard to achieve especially the Muy Tai clinch which leaves the body open and we all know what happened to Michael Spinx after getting hit in the body buy Mike Tyson.
The clinch: The clinch game for Kimbo in this case would become more of a bear hug; trapping both arms to the body then trying to trap the leg for a take down. This should neutralize the fighters inside game and make it so that Kimbo could take Tyson down safely.
The shoot, would quite frankly be the dumbest thing a person could do because of the explosive power in Mikes trade mark upper cuts poses to be the best defense against this offense. Also the crouching style he uses makes the shoot harder to get because the center of gravity is lower which gives Tyson a very strong base similar to a horse stance found in more traditional martial arts. Also he has a very wide base which means it will be very hard for Kimbo to bring both legs together for the take down.
Single Leg: It would appear as though Kimbo would have to go for the single leg take down in order to stay out of Mikes range. I would focus on the left leg so that Mike would have to reach with that big right hand. While Kimbo would be at risk of getting hit with a Mike Tyson Hook or Upper Cut at least it would be from the left hand.
Note; While this is a hypothetical situation lets not forget that if Mike where to fight Kimbo he would be training MMA and would learn at least the basics of take down defense, submission defense, take downs and ground and pounded… and lets pray that a Tyson fight never results in a full mount where Tyson can rain down punches on Kimbo.
hater-proof posted: I will bet on my Boo, Kimbo. Pure, stanky male power and precision. He might just kill old Mike. And that might not be a bad thing.
Hmmm. Well Tyson is a hard hitter and has skillz.A little old, But he is a little looney too I mean he,s knowen for bitting off other boxers ears lol.I think he has what it takes to be a street fighter too.
screw all you tyson haters!!!! mike is gonna rock kimbo’s world all night long! first of all someone as big as kimbo who is 300 lbs cannot keep up with the former heavyweight champion of the world, second of all for every punch kimbo throws, tyson will’ve thrown 5, and lastly if kimbo tries to take it to the floor well good luck with that because there’s gonna be raining thunder all over kimbo’s face
tyson; would win; first off; there is no way kimbo chin has been tested ; now a hitt from tyson,…. would most def. test his chin..imbo a so called brawler if he truley is he will try to brawl against tyson if he does big mistake… but if he can get tyson to the ground; well he might stand a slight chance; but thats easier said than done; coming in for the take down; to a professional boxer, will leave you exposed an a huge risk fo a clear shot of a devistating puch from a nearly 300 pound tyson, come on; kimbo is alrite but to take punishment from tyson,… idk; but br realistic….people; for a second get around the kimbo slice hype an really think about it, tank abott, has been;mercer omg, an thompson o.k good fighter but the ear is a major factor,an a handicap;what the f is up w/ this the only real good fighters in elite are ROBBIE LAWLER; NICK DIAZ; SCOTT SMITH ; BRETT ROGERS; now compare to anderson silva,chuck liddel; rampage jackson; mikro krocop;’Andrei Arlovski’, an so on,.. do u think kimbo could match up .. no no no; an dnt kid yourselves….so tyson going to win, an kimbo caint compete as a brawler an as a mma fighter..cause his time is running out; an an so are the no bodys for kimbo..
mike is the hardest hitting man ever….if kimbo ever gets hit…goodnight..kimbo slice has little lungs..he has no stamina..mike would run circles around kimbo and blast him..dont forget that mike tyson was street fighting before kimbo was even born..not taking anything from kimbo..but if mike shows up in shape…225 pounds or less…kimbo would drop quickly..ask heavyweight bolta about tysons armbarrs..tyson lifted him up off of the groung without even trying..just think what he would do when it would be legal…goodnight to kimbo..you are a great streetfighter..but mike would destroy you..look at some of kimbos fights on the net..against the brit..the lefty kicked his ass..if it wasnt for kimbos buddy being in the way all the time..kimbo would have died from lack of conditioning..just think about mike tysons left hook and uppercut..i would love to see kimbo go back to the backyards..because tyson would ruin kimbos mma career..a boxer is a straight puncher..crisp footwork..presision..combo driven..and 123456 hands one after another..kimbo cant handle it..live on mike..i hope it happens..and to all you tyson haters..i wish you all could have seen him with cus..teddy atlas..kevin rooney…jacobs…lights out..even now..mike would still desroy kimbo
In MMA Kimbo Slice would pwn Tyson. Boxing Tyson would outclass him.
you muppet tyson would out class the man he is to slow tyson wud drop him with a combo goes wivout sayin
u thick or what.. tyson has lost to the likes ofdanny williams.. hes a quality boxer in his time but kimbo is a monster. he would beat him all day long in any contest.

Hmmm. Well Tyson is a hard hitter and has skillz.A little old, But he is a little looney too I mean he,s knowen for bitting off other boxers ears lol.I think he has what it takes to be a street fighter too.
screw all you tyson haters!!!! mike is gonna rock kimbo’s world all night long! first of all someone as big as kimbo who is 300 lbs cannot keep up with the former heavyweight champion of the world, second of all for every punch kimbo throws, tyson will’ve thrown 5, and lastly if kimbo tries to take it to the floor well good luck with that because there’s gonna be raining thunder all over kimbo’s face
mann we is dey gone fight
tyson; would win; first off; there is no way kimbo chin has been tested ; now a hitt from tyson,…. would most def. test his chin..imbo a so called brawler if he truley is he will try to brawl against tyson if he does big mistake… but if he can get tyson to the ground; well he might stand a slight chance; but thats easier said than done; coming in for the take down; to a professional boxer, will leave you exposed an a huge risk fo a clear shot of a devistating puch from a nearly 300 pound tyson, come on; kimbo is alrite but to take punishment from tyson,… idk; but br realistic….people; for a second get around the kimbo slice hype an really think about it, tank abott, has been;mercer omg, an thompson o.k good fighter but the ear is a major factor,an a handicap;what the f is up w/ this the only real good fighters in elite are ROBBIE LAWLER; NICK DIAZ; SCOTT SMITH ; BRETT ROGERS; now compare to anderson silva,chuck liddel; rampage jackson; mikro krocop;’Andrei Arlovski’, an so on,.. do u think kimbo could match up .. no no no; an dnt kid yourselves….so tyson going to win, an kimbo caint compete as a brawler an as a mma fighter..cause his time is running out; an an so are the no bodys for kimbo..
Who’s comparing Kimbo to Liddel, Jackson, or any of the other big time stars?
Tyson isn’t a MMA fighter he’s a retired (some would say washed up) boxer.
Kimbo is a MMA that is just starting out, but has huge potential and pretty good power.
Don’t forget when Tyson went to jail he was beaten.
Now fast forward a few years and all the MMA training Kimbo will have…
come on !!! tyson would kill him tyson its a legend.
mike is the hardest hitting man ever….if kimbo ever gets hit…goodnight..kimbo slice has little lungs..he has no stamina..mike would run circles around kimbo and blast him..dont forget that mike tyson was street fighting before kimbo was even born..not taking anything from kimbo..but if mike shows up in shape…225 pounds or less…kimbo would drop quickly..ask heavyweight bolta about tysons armbarrs..tyson lifted him up off of the groung without even trying..just think what he would do when it would be legal…goodnight to kimbo..you are a great streetfighter..but mike would destroy you..look at some of kimbos fights on the net..against the brit..the lefty kicked his ass..if it wasnt for kimbos buddy being in the way all the time..kimbo would have died from lack of conditioning..just think about mike tysons left hook and uppercut..i would love to see kimbo go back to the backyards..because tyson would ruin kimbos mma career..a boxer is a straight puncher..crisp footwork..presision..combo driven..and 123456 hands one after another..kimbo cant handle it..live on mike..i hope it happens..and to all you tyson haters..i wish you all could have seen him with cus..teddy atlas..kevin rooney…jacobs…lights out..even now..mike would still desroy kimbo
your a goof, Kimbo will eat mike alive, mike is the past kids… kimbo is the future.
tyson is old and weak, no chance to win
tyson los hace mierda a todos kimbo es para peliar contra lekulis nada mas
