How old are you guys?

I only ask because, while i'm only in my late 20's, I still remember Iron Mike T. when he was in his early 20's. Holy God.

That dood would knock these fools out one by one and then eat their children.

Tyson (all boxers) is at ah uge disadvantage. His training is very specific, he practices hitting people who stand upright, and would have almost Zero Chance if the fight gets to the mat agaisnt the top UFC guy of equal size. That leaves him with the option of doing enough damage in his first two -three blows to end the fight, only the UFC guy won't be standing in front of him in a boxing stances. All the instincts are different.

Ok, but read my above post, and watch the Fedor highlight clip and how he launches his attacks. I'd say 2 or 3 blows is 1 or 2 more than needed.

I have to respect what people say how about the various skills of fighters, as it's something I know little about, but few seem to realize how deadly a good, strong boxer's punch is.

Not to get too long-winded, but the difference in just being able to throw a punch and have it hit exactly where you want it to opposed to being a few centimeters off is monumental. One of the many scientific things that give it the name 'sweet science'.

These 2 or 3 blows we talk about, i'd liken to giving a skilled marksman a gun in the ring. I'm not sure how much i'm exaggerating here.

The problem is the guys that know about boxing don't know [censored] about MMA (me) and vice versa, same with SEAL training and another skill set. Still fun to argue/discuss, I guess.

Chump, I watched many boxing fights, including Tyson's, and I've watched many of Fedor's fights, as well as other MMA bouts. In a no rules fight or even an MMA rules fight the boxer would be at an extreme disadvantage. Could he get a lucky punch in and knock a guy out who was going for a shoot or clinch. Yes, it's possible, but unlikely. When someone goes for a shoot, their head is at about the opponents waist or knees. Thus, it would be difficult to deliver an effective punch with the other guy's head around the boxer's knees. One of the most effective moves against the shoot is a knee to the head, and I've seen many ko's that way. But the boxer isn't trained to do that.

In a no rules fight, the MMA guy will beat the boxer at least 4 out of 5 times. The kung fu/karate guy and the navy seal maybe slightly better chance, and the street fighter last.
