    Kimbo is an internet sensation. They didn't even know what the internet was in 1988. That's got to be a big advantage for Kimbo.

    Like UGBK says though, the styles would seem to favor Tyson.

    In all dead ass honesty, Mike is shot as hell/old as shit right now. But with even minimal training in the gym, I'd put money on him STILL being able to take out Kimbo's bum ass within a round.

    One punch from even a shot/ancient Mike would render Kimbo senseless.
     
  5. Styles do favour Tyson. I agree. :l2:


    I would just like to add though that....

    Power favours Tyson, Speed favours Tyson, defense favours Tyson, Chin favours Tyson, Stamina favours Tyson, offensive skills favour Tyson, Ring generalship favour Tyson.

    Facial hair and grill favours Kimbo.....and that makes it close.

    Even now a half in shape Tyson would probably KO him.

    LOK I'll eat your asshole alive

    This is the first topic in at least one day that made me literally "LOL"

    I would be that right now with NO training and if he was DRuNk Mike could KO Kimbo in one round lol

    The various competing funeral homes within a 10 mile radius of Kimbo's house win this

    Tyson fought in the 1980s

    the astute boxing observer dykE would say the prediction is based on myth and nostalgia

    Here's an instance when it's fair to say the two fighters are not in the same class.
