Why don’t you let Mike Tyson punch you in the face while your hands are tied behind your back?

Because when he hospitalized and or killed you and you sued him or your estate did, he would ultimately be the big loser in that fight.

He likely laughed his arse off with his buddies as they contemplated your near death experience.

Just know that there's no such thing as a fair fight. And if you ever find yourself in one, your tactics suck arse.

bullshite, I am 5'6" and 50 years old. I haven't gotten into a fight since maybe Junior high or longer. I doubt seriously if I could hang in a fight with a 25 year old. This is why they make pistols.

If I were the baddest SOB on the planet, I would go out of my way to avoid fights and if forced to defend myself end it and get away ASAP.

No percentage in being Billy Badass, it isn't smart and can get you killed.

I'm 60, and have a bad leg, so I really couldn't really defend myself. I do carry most of the time. Also have firearms strategically placed around my house.

I take care of my parents. A home invasion is my biggest fear. I wouldn't hesitate to kill someone trying to do that.

Quit fighting when I turned 18.

I’ve never had any desire to fight - but I think about my ability to defend myself every time I walk through a parking garage or across a dark parking lot alone after a work event. But I’m female. Luckily I grew up with brothers and have taken a self defense course - I don’t carry a gun, but I’m always ready to shank someone with my keys if I need to.

If u know you are outmatched, go for the throat or the balls. I've went for the throat on more that one occasion. Those motherfrickers knew I wasn't interested in boxing when I wouldnt let go of their trachea, lol.

If someone was fighting prime Mike Tyson, it wouldn’t matter, they wouldn’t be able to mount any type of meaningful defense.

In a boxing match? No

In a street fight with no rules? Wrestlers, jiu jitsu, etc would destroy him

Why do you think Mayweather wants to fight all these MMA guys, but only if it’s a boxing match

Their may have been 2-3 people who could have survived a street fight with Tyson in his prime. He said and I quote " I'm a vicious arse street ****'.

Right but isn’t that like saying “it is super important to know how to drive an 18 wheeler if you find yourself behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler.”?


Of course!

Tyson would not be subject to any rules either

I wouldn't think Mayweather and Tyson are anywhere close to the same animal in a street fight
