True! And that's very indicative of the state of boxing. Having said that, I wouldn't want to be in the ring with him.

I would for $3m up front.

he's 10x stronger than some 40kg kid

 

 

ive sparred with an ex world champ muay thai

 

his kicks not half as powerful as a tyson punch

 

laughable to suggest some 16yo thai kid can kick harder than Tyson can punch

 

the kid would break his leg

It´s also laughable to try to promote a boxing fight with a 53 year old guy in the name of sport. This has nothing to do with the sport. The only thing it regards is how much money that can be made. Anyway, it will be silly to pay anything for a lousy fight, right?

Nonsense. He's a legend. 53 isnt old. 73 is old.

Nonsense. A well conditioned 16 year old Muay Thai fighter could dance Tyson around the ring, tire him, out  and kick him in the head and neck until Tyson comes...DOWN.

For you we send in a pee-wee, to target the knees. 

 

 

Have you ever trained in martial arts? What you are saying is delusional.

You think a fighter like Tyson is just going to let a kid stand off and kick him? He would bore in. One punch in the ribs, and the kid would be vomiting blood. A kidney punch, and he'd peeing it instead. You're raving, get back on your meds please.

He is not on parole and would have no relevance if he comes Visa exempt.

 

I'd assume you wouldn't be able to work on a visa exempt entry.

Correct me if i'm wrong but MT is a boxer, correct?

 

One assumes he does not know the art of Muay Thai.

 

You would find no thai Muay Thai fighter willing to have a boxing match with MT, Muay Thai fighters cannot punch!

I am a huge boxing fan but wouldn't pay 1 satang to go and see this Ahole fight after biting off an ear .

 

Depends on the opponent. Now...If someone could convince Thailand's biggest, baddest, toughest, meanest super hero to take the ring for this bout, it would be the fight of the century. Personally I would gladly pay 100,000 Baht to see Iron Mike square off against Thailand's best.

Elites can

Average ones cannot

Yodsaenklai is a good puncher

 

The power diff bt Tyson and some 16yo Thai kid is enormous

 

Even John Wayne Parr 73kgs 9 times world champ would be scared to fight Tyson

 

A 16yo kid would get killed

 Bernard Hopkins, 48, breaks record as oldest world champion.

 

53 aint that old.

I don't think any muay thai fighter with the exception of the heaviest weight class would have a chance. They have never been hit from someone like Tyson, no matter his age. No matter how quick you might be, if you don't have the power behind your punches and can't take a hit from someone strong, you're going to lose.

I see you don't know much about muay thai or boxing. MT fighters dont dance. They sit back on their heals. And mid level kids have no power. I could beat them in rd 1. It's laughable to suggest a kid beats Tyson. Any MT expert would tell you the same thing. Tyson would kill a 16yo mt kid with a big punch. Seriously. MT guys have very weak boxing skills unless elite level like Yod.

Thanks I didn't know that, about the heels. I thought they moved with agility.

I guess I was wrong. Remembered the ear bite, What I forgot is Tyson is a convicted rapist. For that alone he should be banned from Thailand.

I have trained Aikido and Karate. Every decent teacher told me asian Martial Arts is for self defense only. The first lesson is run away. Then they teach you how to fall. The self styled tough guys know nothing. Even Krav Maga, hard style Karate teaches EVADE

 

Perhaps you can post some of your expertise without personal attacks that would be nice.

I guess I have been overruled on this thread here but just one more thing.

When you sparred with a Thai ex champion did he give you the full force of his kicks or just just mess around and toy with you? I'd say it would be different with a young Thai guy in his prime with big money on the line to kick the foreigners head off!

The only reason I'd ever want this fight to go ahead is to hear that "Old Ear-biter" got badly humiliated. I wouldn't support a fight of his by actually watching it.

 

Tyson should have been cast to the Cellar of Shame immediately after biting part of Holyfield's ear off -- then going for the other one after the IDIOT ref lets the bout continue!!! It should have been stopped, the police brought in and assault charges brought against the a**hole. Then Tyson should have been banned from having anything so with boxing (and maybe humanity) for the rest of his life.

Muay Thai punching against a pro boxer is not comparably in any way, shape or form IMO.

Especially with what's available on the market these days.

 

Stem cell rejuvenation / testosterone replacement / HGH etc.

 

I agree, with advances in technology and medical knowledge, 53 aint that old.

[sanuk711]

No Real venue....for certain reasons, Thailand lacks the one thing needed---a casino, its no coincidence That most big fights are fought in the Vegas casinos.  The promoter usually gets the venue for free (or greatly reduced) they fill up the rooms before--they fill up the tables after.

Great video!

If you were that big, ex pro boxer, and you just snorted a freeway do you think

you could punch THAT hard against some chump with pads, for like 30 seconds?

If I burned a crack pipe AND snorted a freeway you could kick my ass and I would feel no pain

for 12 hours. Then I would die.
