Would you . . . .
 

Would you get in the ring with Tyson for a minute for 100,000? Now, before you say, "OF COURSE!" the stipulations are you can't take a dive, that is, until he legitimately knocks the hell out of you. You can run around the ring, but he can pursue. You cannot leave the ring.

I would not. Not even for 500,000. Maybe 1,000,000. Why? Because I'm pretty sure with one clean shot Tyson could put me into a coma or cave my face in. Would that 100,000 pay for your medical bills? Me in a coma ain't worth it.

I've even heard girls, that weigh about 100 pounds say they'd do it for 100,000. Tyson + delicate bone structure = brain damage.

What about you? I may just be a big wussy face!

hellz yeah i'll do it....................I'll be runnin' mah ass of tho!

not worth going into a coma

No fuckin way. One minute is too long. But not as long as the coma he would put me in.

Hell no! Granted I'm a female and I weight about half what he does, but shit, that dude's insane! I wouldn't put it past him to try to rape me then and there. But not even if I were a big dude, no way. Rather shake hands with a grizzly bear.

i'm white, in a wheelchair and i have two ears. no fucking way

if i could fight back? sure. why not. only if its a guaranteed payday though.,

It's certainly guaranteed . . . hypothetically. The reason I vehemently said no was because I once read a story about Tyson and at one point he playfully "attacked" the sports reporter to illustrate what he would do in his next bout. The reporter said something to the effect of having never seen a man move so fast in his life. Gave me the jubblies.

Also, keep in mind, you're speaking about a man tempered by the California Correctional System.

LOL!!!

You could just spin around really fast. You'd get very dizzy, but at least he'd have a hard time finding a stationary body part to bite. :)

I wouldn't honor a convicted rapist by associating with him in any manner. I wouldn't piss in his mouth if his guts were on fire.

If it's guaranteed money......absolutely :)

I'm not tough, but I figure he'll only need to hit me once to knock me out. So, the question is how much damage could he do with one punch? And is it worth $100,000 or $500,000?

I think I could take a punch for $100,000. Just don't ask me to help you move the next day :)

I would if I had adequate training and some nice gloves. He don't want none.

Sorry to burst anyones bubble in here, but I don't care if you do get to fight back, how nice your gloves are, or how well trained you may be, Tyson would own ANY tfper, I am quite confident. That being said.................you're damn straight I would do it. I think I could survive one punch.

who's gonna determine I took a dive? :p

Color me fragile and gimme my 100k dammit!

I'd let Tyson beat the piss out of me for a million, but probably not 100k. Maybe take a good punch to the face for that.

I'd do it, but of course I'd burn a trail around the ring as i ran for my life.

no way )

I don't think I'd last more than 15-20 seconds, and I think I'd be down for the 10 count before he did any permanent damage. I figure the worst that would happen is he'd break my glass jaw, and that's worth 100,000 to me.

A minute....2 minutes...half an hour...what difference does it make? I'm gona be unconscious after the first blow!
Would I do it for $100,000? Hmmm...that a lot of money....but so would my medical bills! I'd prolly do it for $500,000...I mean even if I end up in hospital for a month....I'd still make more money than if I was working. But then again...brain damage etc....hmmmmm. Dunno, tough one!

Not a chance. Experienced boxers have been killed from one punch. The best outcome would probably be a shattered jaw.

meh, one punch wouldn't kill me

I'm confident that if he lined me up he could probably give me permanent damage.

Oh, and to you people who think you can outrun him in the ring, ha! This guy knows how to cut the ring in half, in quarters, in eigths, with angles people!!! VECTORS > YOU! ;)

one minute huh... hmm. I'd be very tempted. If I get knocked out before the minute is up do I still get the money? Am I allowed cheapshots? For example, can I kick him in the nuts and then jump on his back? What kind of extra gear am I allowed to wear? (full pads, football helmet, etc.)

So, depending on the circumstances I just might hop in there for a minute. As long as he doesn't try to eat my face that is.

For $500,000, maybe. For a cool one million, damn right. I'd make some crappy moves and throw a couple punches at him before he hit me and knocked my ass out. At least I could say I hit a rapist, if I got a punch through :)

And a million dollar could cover quite a bit of medical bills.

I don't think I'd last so I'd never get in the ring with him. Anyway, I wouldn't feel comforatable spending a minute confined with a man who threatened to eat someone's kids.

just to give you folks perspective. we have a guy here in the hospital in a coma and it took only 8 months for his bill to hit 1 million. he's still on a breathing machine.

Absofuckinglutely. I would probably do it just so I could say that I fought mike tyson.

a) Is he wearing a cup?
b) Do I have to follow the rules? (Conversely, does HE have to follow the rules?)

... If you could still form complete sentences, you mean? ;)

Seriously, ain't no Mike Tyson laying a hand on me for ANY figure. I've got too much to live for!

Nope

Yep,
but then again, I have a very high tolerance for physical pain,
and I'm a 2nd degree black with training in boxing also.

Best way to fight Tyson is to not let him in the inside,
fight defensive, fight smart.
Besides, I've got these long-ass arms for a reason. ;)

I'd totally dodge the fucker.
Some may come to call me the artful dodger.
Later, I'd change my nick name to Doctor Hamburger and buy a hamburger like van and drive around North America solving mysteries. Also, donuts will be plentiful and considered extremely tasty.

no I wouldn't...I like my ears

No way, that's a good way to get killed. I've seen him lift heavyweight fighters off the mat with an uppercut so you could see daylight under their feet.

Meh, I've been hit in the face by a baseball before. So I'd just think of his fist as a big baseball. A big, fast baseball. Yeah, thats it.

Sure I would, but then again I'm 215 pounds myself, so I don't think I would be in extreme danger of being hurt too badly. broken nose, concussion...sure. But thats worth the cash.

I think realistically, even if you are a professional boxer less than a heavyweight, you'll get your ass owned my Tyson. He is one of the fastest people I've ever seen in my life, and even though people say they'll only take one punch from him and get knocked out, more likely he's going to come at you with a combo. Getting hit multiple times will knock you out and certainly cause serious brain damage from a guy that big, strong, and fast. I was going to say "yes for a million" but after thinking about it, I'm going to have to pass. He's a little crazy in the head, but I really like him as a boxer, though. My two cents.

For 60 seconds? Yes I would. Mostly running/dodging and even take a swing or two (if I can). I know that he could murder me easily, but I would take the minute in the ring.

I agree with Nash. I seriously doubt you could run from a man that fast. This guy was heavyweight champ of the entire world when he was 20. I'm pretty sure he could catch you.

I once spent some time at the Olympic Training Center in CO Springs and got to know one of the heavyweight boxers there relatively well. He was one of the nicest, smartest guys that you'll ever meet. One night we went to a party with a big group, and a couple of univited guests started manhandling one of our friends. I'm not a big guy, but I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and I tend to let my emotions lead me around in situations like this. The whole point of this story is that before I could do more than turn red and get ready to rush the guy, Jim threw 3 punches faster than I've ever seen anyone move. The two guys ended up on their butts begging for their lives and apologizing to the woman. BTW - Jim didn't make the Sydney team, so he's not at Tyson's level.

$10M wouldn't be enough money. What's the point of money if you're just going to have to use it to hire someone to frappee all your vegitables for you for the rest of your life?

Hmmm... Interesting proposition, but me being as light and weak as I am, one punch and Im done... I'd try and kick him in the nuts, but that would mean getting too close to him.... :confused: And I dont think I'd be able to dodge him for 1 min in such a small area.
Id do it, but if they gave me more money for it....

OK, Mike Tyson is NOT a god. Yes he can hit hard, Yes he would kick my ass, but I feel .. no I KNOW.. I could stand 1 minute in the ring with him. Not only would I stand, but I would fight back with all I had in me. Granted, I would probably be down and out within a couple of punches, but I would stand and fight until I couldnt fight any more. I have been kicked in the head by a horse, he cant hit much harder than that, and I survived that kick.

Now, put me in a bar against Mikey, and I would kick his ass up one side and down the other. why... cuz I dont fight fair. If imma fight ya, imma kick ya ass, no if ands or buts.. unless you get to the chairs and pool sticks before I do anyway.

Nope, I want to live.

I am 6'1" , 240 pounds and trained in Karate and Kickboxing.
Which is why I am even more sure I wouldn't do it.

For those who say you would, consider, only a handful of people in the world could actually last even one 3 minute round with Mike Tyson. Only 4 heavyweight boxers have beaten him, over 40 of his opponents were crushed by him, most in less than 3 rounds, even one nicknamed Bonecrusher.

But this makes for an amusing thread anyway . . .

Here's a link for info on Tyson, be afraid:
http://www.sho.com/boxing/boxers.cfm...le&fighter=739

I'll take tha hit. Ill be sleepin fer prolly a week, but I'll be smilin when I wake up :)

Not for a minute....maybe 30 secs. A minute is a freaking long time to be in a small square box with a maniac!!

Giving it alot of thought and .....
no.

no way mike tyson scares the crap out of me. He is just animalistic

so I can't leave the ring, I can't take a dive, and I have to stay in there for the whole minute?

Sure

you didn't mention anything about me not being allowed weaponry

Not a chance in hell. I'm not trained to take hits well and even though he would probably knock me out with one hit who knows what kind of brain damage he could do to me.

Not for $100 K . . . . he's too quick/too big and too freakin messed up in the head . . . . that is unless I had a sword (or a bazooka), and he was tied up tight . . . .

I would do it but the second he comes flying out of his corner I start running for my life screaming like a little girl. The second he comes close I guess i would have to turtle and pray for the best.

can I have a knife?

Why not! I have been knocked out before and as long as my insurance pays the medical bills.

No I like my Ears like they are thank you....

Considering I've heard Tyson's punch can kill the average person...


Hell No.

I might. Maybe. See Johnny Knoxville go against butterbean in Jackass? I'd imagine something like that x4. OUch.

5'10'' 125 pounds white kid...Not a chance in hell i would do it.

Jesus christ, no way. That's crazy talk. :)

I have to wonder what a typical black-belt in some martial art could do to him.

I'd risk the brain damage. I'm not smart enough for it to matter anyway...

I'm with Clavus on this one. Why on earth do we celebrate a convicted rapist with all this attention?

If I don't have to follow those pussy Marquis of Queensbury rules, I'd do it in a heartbeat; I don't care how bad he is, a 260 lb. man kicking the shit out of your knee is gonna take a lot of the fight out of you; I used to ride with some seriously bad dudes; we survived a lot of bar fights; he ain't that bad- a biker flyin' on PCP is a serious opponent; you can't hurt him; Tyson bleeds just like everybody else.

Love the responce. ;)

I'd be willing - my body would hate me afterwards though. :)

I'm 6'8", 290 pounds, my hospital insurance deductible is $1500, and we have two $50k mortgages on our house. As long as he's wearing gloves, I'll take it.

So does that dude in your avatar. :D

i would have a go.
sure, i would get the shit pounded out of me but a hundred grand is a hundred grand.:D
although i would probably wear a head band of some sort to cover my ears lol ;)

nope. that mother fucker would knock me out.

He's too stupid to be able to chase you so yea I think I'd run around the ring for a minute but not a second longer

no thank you. I don't feel like dying :)

Why the fuck not- he was champ at 20- but he's older now- and I feel I have enough training to minimize the damage - I used to fight a bit- two minute rounds, martial arts tourneys- two minutes can be an eternity- so, I think, can one- and winning is, to put it mildly, unlikely, but 100 grand would be... useful.

Simply put: FUCK NO!!!!!

Less simply put: Tyson spends a great deal of time in the town I live in and I have had the unfortunate experience to meet him. There is an air of instability that surrounds him, and even when he is not in shape, he is a fucking monster. No way I would step into the ring with him.

I'm Canadian. I'm covered for my medical costs. The money all goes to me (unless it gets taxed). I'd do it for a million or more.

I'll do it. And I'll fuck him up while I'm there!

Shit man, you couldn't fuck me up so how do you expect to beat his ass?! :p :lol:

Says who!? If I'm going to get knocked out, I might as well do the best I can, so as not to look like a complete girl in front of a huge crowd.

Nah, I dont like fighting.

Only if I could fight dirty.....I'd charge him like I was going for his head, duck quick, punch him in the nuts, dive through his legs, turn around and pull his shorts around his ankles, stand up and push him forwards so he trips, jump on his back and kick and punch the living crap out of him.

I'd do that for a cool million.

Not a hope. It's not worth it considering what the man can do to you with one punch.

in a boxing match, heck no, but give us a couple of rapiers and daggers an ill take on anyone.

Man. That's the kind of guy I wish I was. :P But at 5'8" and 125 lbs, I doubt I'll ever make it.

I'd probably do it if I could sit around and talk to him first, get to be buddies, tell him he's a helluva fighter, then offer to buy him a drink after the match. And remind him when he accepts that, to buy him said drink, I'll have to be conscious again before he gets tired of waiting around. ;) Maybe he'd go a little easier on me.

I would but then again I am bigger than him and have taken Martial Arts most of my life. I know how to take a hit and how to give one. Besides, that is a lot of money for 1 min of work.

Sure if I have him drugged up on K or something. That and I'll throw some prepubescent girls at him, maybe a small dog or two. That should keep him busy for at least a minute.

Oh and I'd wear hard plastic ears.

100k, cash, no taxes, one minute, yep.

mm its just a minute i bet u could just run ur ass off, right? he seems dumb and slow, he punches real hard but hey i bet when ur scared u can fly

hell yeah.

i´d jump in the ring and take off all of my clothes.

then i´d run away from as best i could.

but seriously, i think he´d be less likely to want to punch a skinny white dude, whos naked.

Mike... why you hafta hit sooo hard?

Look at it this way,he would prolly pay your funeral costs out of pity.
