Mike Tyson vs Brock Lesnar
Discussion
Following on from the boxer vs MMA fighter, who would take this with a Tyson in his prime vs Brock Lesnar in his current form. This would be a freestyle fight with general MMA type rules applied.
Tyson was incredibly good at controlling much bigger fighters. He was able to move inside their reach and land massive body shots and big hooks and uppercuts, and his aggression and speed, as well as his head movement, kept him largely out of trouble and allowed him to negate any size or reach differences.
Tyson also had a good gas tank, but of course zero ground skills, kicks, or knees.
Lesnar is incredibly quick and very good at shooting in and taking people down. Very strong and agile as well, with a surprisingly good punch on him with his 82 inch reach.
Lesnar is very good at throwing knees from the clinch, though Tyson is also a beast in the clinch, able to throw massive body shots, and as the breakaway happens he uses his hand speed to connect with the head and get a knockout.
Tyson would be expecting a takedown attempt so would use probably move inside quickly and try and land some big shots. He would also be ready to throw a massive punch to try and knock Lesnar out if he went for the takedown. He would look to keep moving and make an takedowns difficult.
Lesnar has a good solid chin. I think he'd accept he is going to eat a big punch if he went for the takedown, but knowing it is his best shot would go for it anyway. It really depends how it landed, as once on the ground, if Lesnar wasnt knocked out or very badly hurt, Tysons fight would be over and he'd be ground 'n pounded into oblivion.
Would be such a cool matchup, Tyson's aggression and ability to get inside vs Lesnars speed and ability to get takedowns. The only unknown would be whether Lesnar could stand with Tyson and utilise his reach advantage and big right, but I think if he tried that Tyson would move inside him and demolish him.
I think we need a new PS3 game, with all the boxing greats vs all the MMA greats.

i'd say Tyson, i'm still adamant that there'd be no-one capable of beating him in a no holds barred street fight. The mans an animal!
unfortunately MMA isn't no holds barred. Tyson would be flat on his arse before he could decide which ear to bite.Dirty Boy said:

He can punch with hsi 2.08m arms? christ, what is he, 4m tall?And yes 81" reach for lesnar, who is 6.3 and 260-280 lbs
Okay, lady friend aside, I still think this fight would be amazing. It'd be tough to call and someone would be going hom in an ambulance.
In the clinch would be interesting, here's Lesnar landing a reply knee from the clinch, compared to Tysons body shots and short uppercuts, not sure Tyson would be able to compete

I've never seen anyone land a solid punch when a good shoot fighter lands his takedown...
They go so low on the leg you can only punch down, not a great source of power. Elbows/Knees are best but not Tyson's speciality.
When it comes down to it the early Ultimate Fighter comps showed that 1v1 grappling is king, I don't know how well Tyson could handle that.

I'd go for Lesnar, his punches look immense and he's a wrestler by trade.
Would you mess with this?
ETA: Did you see what Ricky Hatton said about Brock Lesnar?
"Brock's a big bloke, isn't he? If you found him in bed with your girlfriend, you'd tuck him in!"
