Tyson vs. Shamrock

MURDER JUNKIE · 10-18-2006, 12:47 PM

Tyson fought for millions of dollars, Chuck Liddell received $500,000 for his last fight while the UFC raked in over 27 million for it

Who is the idiot??

Tyson would kill the guy , the guy is an animal.

are you serious? i know tyson had unmatched punching power, but shamrock was known to knock people out with one shot as well. and yes its possible that tyson would know how to throw effective kicks and grapple too, but thats highly unlikely. did anybody see ortiz/shamrock I? although it was a poor performance for ken (who was nearly 40 at the time mind you), he took 3 rounds of non-stop punishment and only lost b/c his corner threw in the towel. so even if tyson threw his best at shamrock, shamrock could have taken it IMO. Shamrock also has a tremendous wrestling background (and no im not referring to his pro wrestling), which im quit sure tyson doesnt. and im also pretty sure that tyson knows very few submissions. it would be a no contest. Shamrock for sure.

I don`t really see how wrestling holds and submissions will help when your up against a guy who will bite , eye gouge , kick in the nads and do anything it takes to win.

so i guess we should define the rules then. in a straight boxing match tyson would win hands down. but in mma (UFC) rules shamrock would definitely win. but i think at his peak, tyson had enough self-respect to not bite off people's ears or kick them in the junk.

tyson would win...hes bigger and stronger i dont think shamrock would be able to put him in submission and that would be his only chance

Tyson in his prime was a monster, probably the best boxer ever. He'd win.

apparently none of you ever saw ken shamrock in his prime. the man was was unstoppable. he was the first UFC Heavyweight Champion back when they didnt have all the rules and it was basically anything goes. Shamrock's extensive cross-training would overshadow Tyson's boxing ability (which like you said may be the best ever) anyday. But many say Ken Shamrock was the best mma fighter ever as well.
