It is true that Tyson was very close to finishing Williams in the first round but not having the endurance to make it past the the third is the sign of being shot. I disagree, highthief, that he was finished after Buster Douglas. It's not as if he was an amazing fighter to begin with, but in the 90's he still had the raw ability to get the job done against the less-than-greats --now he is officially over.

Tyson has almost no chance in MMA rules. He would be put on his ass and tap out within seconds. However, under traditional K-1 rules (which is essentially kickboxing), he can fight kickboxers with bad hands or other desperate boxers like Frans Botha or Shannon Briggs. It is indeed a sad state of affairs for Mike. I know a lot of people despise him but I would like to see him live out a respectable life and not kill himself or end up like Sonny Liston.
