metadigital Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 ... It was against b-quality boxers but once I saw him knock a guy out through his guard, he simply punched so hard that they opponent got knocked out by his own gloves. ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That reminds me of my boxing coach in Varsity; he was always good for a story. He recounted once that he had tried using a guard whereby he leant his fists on his forehead (if any of you have ever boxed, you will know that one of the most difficult things to do is keep your guard up OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Enemy Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Mike Tyson isn't even the greatest boxer of all time, let alone a real fighter. That's right, I don't consider boxers to be real fighters they only use two of their limbs in order to beat their adversary. Mike Tyson sure as hell couldn't beat CroCop, anybody who lands one devastating kick to Bob Sapp and causes a K.O. is ultimately the best fighter of that era. It's a proven fact that Bruce Lee actually hits harder, Bruce Lee has alot less fat and contains a huge aresenal of moves and reflexes. Mike trains with his hands only, and that's when they're in a form of protection! Bruce Lee would run circles around Mikey-Poo, and once tired, Bruce would have kicked him once and it'd be over! Boxing isn't about your ability to aim your punches precisely, it's more about you swinging til you knock the guy off balance then hit them once and they're out. Martial Arts is fighting at it's peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, do you have any idea of how good a condition most pro boxers have? If Bruce Lee just ran around and feinted or hit lightly Tyson wouldn't get tired. Also, boxing IS about your ability to aim your punches precisely, not only that, but doing it quickly and hard as well. Martial Arts is fighting at it's peak. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd say Muay Thai is the peak of fighting, but maybe you consider that a martial art. I dunno. What defines a martial arts anyway? A ranking system, ie. the belts, or just the fact that the styles are from Asia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

213374U Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 You are right. There are no movies of boxers learning teh ultimate secret martial art and then proceeding to beat dozens of uber commandos of death that are trying to take over the world. Therefore, boxing is not a martial art. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Experience is key and Tyson has a hell of a lot more experience than Lee in real fighting. Although the fight would likely end up on the ground, does Iron Mike know any holds or grappling moves?

EnderAndrew Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Last time I checked, Tyson was getting knocked around like a child in his last 5 or 6 fights. The only fights he won were in the opening two rounds if he suprised people with both speed and power. Most boxing experts say he had little skill. Tyson's only advantage in this fight is his ability to withstand a punch. Lee is faster, and possiby stronger, with more skill to boot. I don't know how well Lee could take a punch, but I'm largely unconvinced Tyson would land one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
