Check out Tim's post-fight interview on Sherdog. At one point, they ask him how he feels he matches up against Pride's top heavyweights (being that Pride's Silva may fight Liddell in November). Tim said he met Fedor Emelianenko, and he's a "tiny little shit". LOL. I don't think he meant any disrespect, but I did find the statement amusing.
What is wrong with you people, for anyone to say that Fedor could contend with Tyson in his prime is just wrong, are you crazy or just a newcomer to combat sports? have you ever seen Tyson in his prime? Even when he was an up and comer he would have smashed Fedor, Tyson was a HUGE super conditioned ANIMAL that knocked people sensless with 16oz gloves on, think about what he would do with 4oz gloves. Man you people are stupid. Fedor vs Tyson with 4oz gloves, there is a huge chance of fedor actually getting killed.
hahhahahahhahhahhahahahahahaahhhhhahahhahahahhhahahhahhahaahahahahahahahahhh, i hope you kidding, fedor would take tyson down in less than 20 secs and than impose his will on him or simple break his arm or basically do wateva he wanted...will someone help me out and tell this guy he has no clue if he thinks tyyson would stand a snoballs chance in hell against fedor
Where do you guys get your info???? Sylvia a *****?? you are a joke. Do you remember when Sylvia fought Ricco Rodriguez? Ricco is a better ground fight that Fedor. Sylvia knoced him silly. you guys base your oppinions one one fight like Arlovski and Sylvia, shit happens fights arent always highlight material, grow up.

Cbingham did not say anything about going to the ground, he said about standing up with Tyson....and I agree 100% with him, IN HIS PRIME, Tyson would have knocked out anyone that was thrown at him, including Fedor

Tyson is way stronger than poor little Fedor, if he did get taken down he would over power fedor stand back up and blast his face, most likely sending fedor into ICU for a few weeks. you need to watch some old footage of Tyson, its almost scary. Fedor is nothing compared to him, NOTHING.

If you are talking about pure boxing then sure. If you are talking about Pride/UFC mma fighting Fedor would rock his world. Didn’t we learn back in UFC 1 that boxers suck? Tyson has never had to sprawl in his life.

Even under MMA rules Tyson in his prime was too much for anybody. The man was a beast. He would simply overpower Fedor. In a street fight, MMA fight or a boxing match Tyson would be the victor.

You forget that in order for Tyson to win his fights, he had to fight nobodies, Fedor is definatly somebody. HAHAHAHA 2 words - " Tyson Who??? ":dunno:

What in the hell are you talking about? Tyson beat the shit out of everbody, somebodies nobodies, it did'nt matter he knocked everyone out. and for Tyson to be the heavyweight boxing champ, I am pretty damn sure he had to beat some stiff competition, which is more than I can say for Fedor. Why do you think Tyson is SO famous, everyone knows who he is, If you walk up to the average guy on the street(regardless what country you are in) everyone knows who Tyson is, not Fedor. Fedor WHO?

1) UFC 1, and several of them after that, featured "boxers" that weren't even remotely close to the calibre of Tyson in his prime. In fact, none of them were even top 10 ranked, and were mediocre in their discipline at best. They were put in there against skilled martial artists like Gracie, that were largely considered the cream in their field at the time. Hardly fair matchups, even just from a purely superficial standpoint.
2) How do you know for a FACT that Tyson never had to sprawl in his life? How do you know he doesn't have basic grappling defense at least? You're talking about a guy who, before he made it in boxing and even years after, was in a lot of street confrontations. It's quite possible he knows some basic grappling, or has had to use it before in a real combat situation.
How many nobodies has Fedor been beaten by (ZERO). Tyson = 1 (i.e. Buster Douglas). Wow can anyone else remember the name of a boxer that Tyson fought and dominated in his prime. No, because they were nobodies. FEDOR would remove Tyson's brain matter from the inside of his leg after stomping his face into the canvas.
This sounds like a fight for Celebrity Death Match. LOL:laugh:

Well you got me, I don’t know for SURE. I highly doubt that Tyson, in his prime had any kind of real take down defense. Being in a few street fights and growing up as a thug hardly gives you the take down defense that has been developed by new age strikers in mma. It’s getting to the point now days where striking is slowly becoming the dominate force again due to mastery of take down defense. I don’t know, I think back in the day, Tyson would have the classic strikers chance to knock him out on the shoot and that’s about it.
Honestly this whole argument is pretty pointless. It’s like people debating Bruce Lee vs Action Jackson.. who cares. For the record though, I’d go with Jackson because he can hang onto a taxi like a mofo.

Fedor would have had Tyson on his back in about 5 seconds and I think he would have choked him out in about a minute. Fedor would be way to smart to try to stand up with someone like that. He would immediately get him to the mat and there he would be submitted and quickly. Everytime Tyson faced a serious and tough fighter he showed he had no heart. He was knocked silly in his prime by Buster Douglas.
this isnt even worth arguing tyson would have a chance for about ten seconds, than he'd be on his back, and for one of u guys to say tyson is strongere than fedor, u gotta be crazy, ask ne of those guys he fights that he throws around like a rag doll..this is just a terrible match up for tyson, fedor wouldnt strike wit him he'd turn this into a lopsided ***** match..fedor wins by any freakin way he choses!!!
:laugh: Man, you have the funniest posts of anyone on this site. I love it. I rarely do the "lol", but your Danny Abaddi shrine seriously makes me laugh out loud.

This is obviously a hypothetical dream match-up but I have to agree here 100%. Remember Fedor's expression when Kevin Randleman suplexed him on his head...it did'nt even change....he did'nt even blink. This is toughness that is off the scale and Mike Tyson could not even begin to hang with him for more than a couple of minutes....if he was lucky.
