If Mike Tyson punched you, would you die?

I was discussing this with a friend last night, here's the situation-

You are in a boxing match with Mike Tyson when he was in his prime. The bell rings and he comes out and hits you with one of his best shots.

My friend thinks that there is a very, very good chance the punch would kill you or at best, give you long term brain damage...

My thoughts are that there is a chance of this, but he'd have to catch you in a very precise spot and that 99% of the time you'd just be knocked out and get a concussion or something.

What do you think?

You would just fall down. But if you got up again then you would be put down again. I say that because I have never received such a blow to the head so all the above could be crap.

monkeyfudge

Sheesh... of course not.. he's no Barry McGuigan.

Dennis the Stone

If you try to run away, don't fall. It's Mike Tyson! If you fall down, then chances are someone's gonna get raped and it's not going to be him

orestes

If it doesn't kill you, it will definately knock you out.

Either way he's gonna rape you after you hit the ground

I dont think its the punch that you'd should be worried about... Its what comes next!!!

Jrad

He would rape you.

Dike Mike rape someone and forget to tell me about it???

Mr Magnolia

I remember hearing back when Tyson wasn't chewing ears that one of his punches would decapitate the average man. So I'd say if he did decapitate you, there's a fair chance you'd be dead.

Apparently Tysons punch, in his prime, was equivalent to a car hitting you at 30mph. You could get a buddy to try this out with your car or just watch this and decide for yourself.

Obviously a lot depends on your physical size. Presumably if you are in the ring with him in the first place you will be reasonably well able to take such punishment. So a knock out and concussion seems more likely. I would think that long term brian damage would be more likely if he didn't knock you out quickly but kept battering away round after round.


I hev no recollection of him raping anyone in the boxing ring I have to say but others seem to be convinced it is the standard follow-on from the punch.

I have little doubt that if Iron Mike gave someone a sucker punch in his prime he'd kill the average person.

If Tyson punched me, then he better be a fast runner. :mad:








We are talking about Mike Tyson, the small guy with asthma and a limp from Ballyknockedup?



The real Tyson would do a lot of damage to a regular joe in the street with one punch. Most boxers/ex boxers would, especially heavyweights.

Wacker

This guy once knocked a fellow heavyweight down twice with one punch. A punch of that nature would certainly ruin your day.
The real trouble for boxers was not with the brutal punches that make the highlight reels. What did the real damage was the sustained trauma to the head; the fact that they get hit over and over. So when a boxer takes a brutal shot and is knocked down, the fact that he has that ten count to get back to his feet works to hs detriment. It would be better for their long term safety if boxing were mre like MMA - after a knockdown, the opponent pounces on him and lands two or three more clean shots in quick succession before the fight is stopped.

prendy

theres a few fighters he fought in his early years that never fought again(even with years training). think one was a journeyman called joe johnson or something.
his punch would deffo snap your neck. animal

Mike Tyson is a fággot, I'd fúck him in the ass till he loved me.
He's a pussy, I want to eat his children.

:rolleyes:

Duggy747

I'd probably vapourise if he hit me hard enough, but realisticly I'd shoot him first!!

RonMexico

Here is a clip of Tyson versus Trevor Berbick. Berbick was World Champion at the time and he was the man who made Ali retire. Tyson was only 20 and in two rounds reduced the man to a gibbering vegetable. Unreal. No doubt that Tyson at his best was capable of killing your average joe with one punch.

Oh and check this out. Funniest/scariest Mike Tyson moments.

Tyson was one of the hardest punchers in the history of the human race and he was 15-151/2 stone of speed, leverage and accuracy, so realistically if the average Joe Soap (12 stone and untrained in boxing/self-defence) got into the ring with Tyson and was hit flush, there's a very strong possibility he could be killed.

biko

If Tyson starts a fight with me and gets the first punch in he'd better kill me...*


*he'd probably snap my neck like a dry twig with that punch

Dennis the Stone

Imagine using all that power against a woman, something which he was partial to

RonMexico

When asked what was the most satisfying punch of his career he said hitting his wife.

Rovi

At his peak, when he was under the guidance and mentoring of Cus D'Amato, Tyson was nothing short of fearsome.
As others have already said, I have no doubt that a clean suckerpunch to an untrained and unfit 'ordinary Joe' would kill or maim them.


Q: Why does Mike Tyson cry after making love?
A: That's what Mace does to you.

Berrbick was murdered a couple of years back....no wonder his assassin chopped him to death, he thought he was a carrot....*I'll get my coat and never, ever return*

Golf, boxing or Kung Fu?.

I'd kick his ass.
I'm bigger than he ever was.

On that note, please don't ever hit me. I fall quicker than a house of cards.

I'll go with Tyson if it's cross stitching. Calm stitching I'd say Bruce would win.

I saw a documentary about him a few years back. He used to cry on the way to ring because he believed that he was gonna kill his opponent :eek:

Dave!

Wearing gloves or not? I would think that if he wasn't, he'd crack your skull and f*ck you up majorly. If he was, you'd go straight down and be concussed.

KingOfFairview

If Mike Tyson and a car hit eachother at 30MPH and raped eachother on point of contact, which one would die?

shrapnel222

i have no doubt the average guy would die, or at best spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair

Mr. Incognito

Yes

Which came first, the chicken or Mike Tyson? (during the rape)

Mr_Roger_Bongos

Anatomy of a knockout punch

So alot of boxers could kill you, but none should be able to beat you at Sudoku!

If you had Mike Tyson, a chicken and a laptop and had to get the three of them across a river without any of them being raped but the boat only holds one rapist, how can it be done?

I can't do it. I'm a rapist as well. The chicken would have to row the laptop across and then run to a house and call the police, tell them there's two rapists trying to get across a river and they're up to no good.
