Depends on the rules. Just like anytime a boxer faces an MMA fighter.

How fast was Tyson?

Tyson was one of the fastest punchers to ever box. His hand speed was lethal.

This is him at 54 years old, 15 years removed from his last prize fight.
Tyson's fast

He was even faster when he was a 20 year old and nearly decapitating people.

My fantasy match would be Tyson and Frazier.
Cut the ring in half, they would only use half of it anyway.

Can Tyson snort coke before the fight? If not, Shamrock every day of the week.

Wouldn’t Tyson be even more deadly wearing those tiny MMA gloves?

If it is like the Mayweather/McGregor fight Tyson wins 10/10. If it is a MMA fight, Shamrock.

Boxing Tyson would knock him out in the first round. Mma shamrock would heelhook him in the first 3 min.

Faster than that. Tyson would get every ligament in his knee destroyed.

He said real fight. Tyson strictly boxed. Shamrock gets him to the ground it is over.

You’re the tard thinking they’re stepping into a ring with gloves on.

A boxer doesn’t “stand” a chance against a trained mma fighter in a street fight. Especially if the mma fighter knows that the other fighter is a boxer.

First thing shamrock would do is shoot for his legs to get him on the ground. Unless Tyson got the luck shot, and caught him it’d be over..this is like trying to compare a hand grenade vs a tank..

Lol Shamrock would not try to stand with Tyson. Straight to the ground then Shamrock going away.

So let me understand this a world championship mma fighter vs a boxer in a mma match and your taking the boxer.
I know tyson has incredible power but he ihas only been trained to block punches not kicks grabing his arms taking him down. Tyson dosent make it past 3 min in an octagon now flop it shamrock dosent make it past the the ring

In a boxing match, Tyson pretty easily.

In an MMA style fight, Shamrock after Tyson gets tired of chasing him around for a minute.

In a straight up street fight, maybe Shamrock. Tyson is batshit crazy though. Whoever walks away the winner from that fight is probably crippled for life in some way.

Agree. A BJJ Purple belt could beat Mike Tyson if he could shoot and get a takedown before Tyson landed a punch. Once he was on the ground it would be over.

Didn't Randy Couture brutalize a pure boxer in a UFC fight one time?
