Seeing these KOs in a sequence like this makes me think that more than a few of these were dives. There's no way that trained fighters would drop like that from a single punch..

That said, where's Buster Douglas?

Given his current physique, I think he could take 'im!

^in all these "single punches" the brain was accelerated to warp speed 10 in about 3 milliseconds. i think a trained ELEPHANT would have trouble standing up after that.

Its worth noting that in nearly every street fight Mike Tyson has been in, he has broken his hands or wrists.

He doesn't really know how to punch without his gloves on. It's pretty common among the trashiest boxers who frequently engage in such "unsanctioned" fights.

You've never boxed, or watched much boxing before, have you? Tyson hits like a freight train.

The bones in your hands are quite small and fragile. That's why hand wrapping is so essential in all combat sports. With amount of force Tyson puts behind his punches, anyone will break their hand.

Oh, on this I do agree, however, most Karate-ka and Kung-fu practitioners are taught ways to throw punches that are both safe (in that they minimize potential damage to those fragile bones), but also deliver a strong amount of force. We've seen Bruce Lee's 1-inch-punch, derived from Wing Chun Kung-fu. We've seen Elvis drop people with Ed Parker's American Kempo Karate. UFC MMA fighters don't usually use as much wrap as boxers (granted, most don't use traditional boxing gloves - most prefer open-fingered Kempo-style gloves).

To me, this speaks to how unrefined Tyson's technique has always been. He may hit like a freight train, but if you can survive one or two hits, or even better, get him to miss and hit a sturdy object instead, like a wall, it wouldn't matter how hard he hits. Outside of the ring is a very different situation than the structured rules of boxing.

I've always wondered how Tyson would hold up in an octagon. I doubt he'd last long against a fighter with a more varied, well-rounded skill set.

Of course, finding someone who fits that description, and yet is still dumb enough to step into the ring with him would probably be impossible
