In the world of impressive resumes, one can either notch the box that says 'I've defeated Mike Tyson's Punch Out without using any code,' or they cannot. It's as simple as that. No one cares about your distinguished education from Harvard or your Rhodes scholarship. If your reaction time is nimble enough to push your NES directional pad at the exact moment Mike Tyson blinks -- then you're practically a demigod to everyone at MiddleEasy. We would build a shrine and create a religion around your video game achievement if we weren't busy constructing 'The Church of Wallid Ismail' out of a few pieces of plywood and a mattress we found on the corner of Hollywood and Western.

Imagine Mike Tyson in his prime with six-months of sprawl from Chuck Liddell, Rampage Jackson, and Mark Kerr. Everyone's life in the heavyweight division would be pretty much over. Chael Sonnen talks about your wife, Mike Tyson wants to eat your children. Tyson would conquer every UFC press conference he was a part of and after cutting weight, he would rehydrate on a steady diet of various ears. Mike Tyson is the greatest fighter that never transitioned to MMA, and in this recent interview, he admits that if it were available at the time, he would have been an MMA fighter instead of a boxer.

i never get tired of listening to mike tyson...hes crazy, psychopathic, ruthless and unapologetic about any of it..and a GENIUS. just imagine all the crazy and beautiful things that go on in his head every day.

i think he would have done good in mma though..he would have been great in pride.

They tried numerous times to get Tyson to fight with rumours of Cro Cop, Wandy an Fedor all being potential opponents, but could never put it together. Was apparently offered a couple mill. to fight..shame never came to fruition.

Quoting Cats Panties:

He should have fought Sapp.

Actually at the time Pride wanted Tyson, Sapp was still HUGE in Japan, wasn't exposed an considered a Beast and probably would have led to some insanely ginormous numbers/ratings an dollars. Add in the fact Sapp would have been destroyed = good times 4 all, except maybe Sapp

Shit, back then Sapp actually fought. These days he just runs in covering his head and waits for contact so he can fall down and tap.

Can't even begin to imagine how fucking huge, awesome and violent a fight with Iron Mike and Fedor would have been in Pride, especially considering the awesomeness of Prides ruleset. Utterly insane I'd have to think. It's too bad Pride could never put a fight with Tyson together, even at that stage of his career. Can't blame 'em for trying though, the right ground training snd perhaps fighting at 205, prolly would have been a force...ah what could'a been

True. Yet also sounds simultaneously retarted. Total juxtaposition.
