Bob Sapp and Mike Tyson

Crashsti · 07-12-2005, 01:21 PM

HAHAHA!!! i was'nt going to post in this thread until i saw my name. yes, i did put Tyson at #3 all time. he WAS a bad ass fighter when he was young. yes, people were literally scared to death to fight Tyson, when he was young. he was unstoppable, that is, until a guy named Buster Douglas proved the guy was human. Tyson had a good run when he was young. however now he is older and like everyone, you lose a bit more of your skills with every passing year. Tyson is slower than he was, he is not as powerful as he once was. Strong yes, but not powerful. he is a quitter in the sport he was ruled so how is it that he's going to knock-out a monster by the name of Bobb Sapp?? he is'nt, Tyson won't even be able to get near him, Sapp has a 10 inch height advantage. i would like to see this fight just to see Tyson quit again.

I agree with you, I wouldn´t put Tyson at all-time #3, but I agree that he was the best fighter in the HW division from 85 to 89. The only reason your name came up is because somebody was quoting you, and saying I said it. It wasn´t meant as an attack against your opinion.

SAPP WOULD HAVE NO CHANCE IN THE WORLD

PLease terll me this thread is circa 1989! Tyson would never get close enough to hit sapp in the body with his short baby arms. Even if tyson wasnt washed up, the only way sapp loses is by pinning tyson in a corner and hitting him with everything and DQing. Not even Mcbride was scared of tyson! Real fighters havent feared tyson in two decades. Let tyson fight bears and kangaroos at county fairs and such.

Tyson would destroy Sapp. Sapps punches are too slow, Tyson is used to making professional boxers miss. He would get inside of Sapp and hit him with a couple of hooks or an uppercut and that would be all she wrote. Whoever said Tyson's conditioning was as equally as bad as Sapp's is crazy. Sapp can't make it through the first round of a K-1 fight, there is no way he could keep up with a pace that Tyson would come at him with. Tyson KO's Sapp early in Rd. 2 if it last that long and that is in K-1 or a boxing ring.

Tyson's punches have nothing left on them. If Danny Williams can withstand the barrage that Mike Tyson hit him with in the first round...you'd better believe Bob Sapp can withstand it. Tyson hasn't exactly made people miss him lately either. Plus, Sapp knows how to use hands and feet. Tyson doesn't, other than walking on them. Tyson's only hope would be to score more points than Sapp and out box him. But, I highly doubt he'd beat Sapp in a K-1 fight. I agree with whoever said Tyson should start fighting bears and kangaroo's at fairs. If nothing else he'd show well with the donkeys.

Since when has Sapp been able to use his hands and feet? He is like a freak show, 380 lbs. of solid steroids. Kimo and Hoost can put him down so can Tyson. If they were fighting K-1, I believe Tyson would attempt to learn the basics with his feet.(Not like he would need it)Those basics would almost put him up to par with Sapp. I am not a Tyson fan, I in fact despise him and have never liked him but I look at the obvious.

DrumzCT · 08-11-2005, 10:15 AM

Kimo and Hoost put Sapp down, but Sapp put them out.

Well, what I see as obvious is Mike Tyson's punches have nothing left in them. Again, if Danny Williams can survive the barrage of punches Mike hit him with early on, then so can Bob Sapp. I mean, c'mon, Tyson hit him with everything but the ring post, and never knocked him down. Bob Sapp dwarfs Danny Williams. So, what's obvious to me there is he'd never knock down Sapp, if he couldn't knock down Danny Williams. Kimo and Hoost put him down but who won? Bob Sapp did by KO's. Plus, Sapp's beaten Hoost on more than one occasion.

TaddT189 · 08-12-2005, 09:53 PM

Just because someone is big doesn't mean they can take a punch. Everyone in here for some reason seems to think Tyson has nothing left on his punches, he has fifty wins and 44 knockouts with 10-12 oz gloves. Do you think Earnesto Hoost or Kimo can possibly hit harder than Tyson? Come on you gotta be sihting me "smashing machine".

Yes, now, in the present, I think Ernesto Hoost anyways does hit harder. I think Ernesto Hoost would knock Mike Tyson into Oblivion. The man is a K-1 legend. And, Bob Sapp has beaten him on more than one occasion, I don't think Sapp is better than Hoost, but matches up with him well. And, that's due to the fact that he's able to weather relentless punches and kicks from the much more fit and quicker Hoost; who I might add is about the same dimensions as Mike Tyson. Dude, 20 years ago, Mike Tyson could hit hard. That was 20 YEARS AGO! I'm saying Danny Williams withstood it, and Bob Sapp has proved over and over he can withstand a beating. Because, not only do they have to deal with punches, but low kicks, middle kicks and high kicks....that's a lot more dimensional than just punching. In the K-1 ring, Sapp would destroy Mike Tyson. Whether Tyson learns basic kicks or not...it wouldn't matter. Tyson is so one dimensional...if he can't land that one big punch he's done. He hasn't put together consistently good combos since before Buster Douglas beat him. That coupled with the fact that he has nothing on his punches anymore=crushing defeat by Bob Sapp. People think Mike Tyson was/is so great. He had the potential to be great, but never achieved that status because of his lack of mental discipline/focus and the lack of competition he fought. So what, if he had 44 knockouts? Look at who he was knocking out...Lou Savarese, and a bunch of other bums or guys who were way past their prime. George Foreman destroyed guys like Norton and Frazier...legends, not a bunch of bums! Anyone, ever worth anything beat the snot out of him. Put him in the ring 15-20 years earlier and nobody, with the exception of die hard boxing buffs, would've ever known who Mike Tyson was.

No, I'm not joking. Please don't be offended by this, but you need a Mike Tyson reality check. The facts are this: Danny Williams was still standing after Mike beat him with everything but the ring post and Bob Sapp can take a lot more punishment than Danny Williams. He's done it night in, night out. Kickboxers dont just take it to the head and torso they take it all over. I'm not going argue this worthless point with you anymore. Talk to you later.

Watch the language.

Tysons losses have come because of a lack of discipline and heart. He can still punch! he cant throw as many as he used to but he knows against sapp he wouldn,t have to.
Holyfield and Lewis were great boxers and even mcbride had a good fight plan. Sapp cant box to save himself. Tyson would get inside him easily, relishing sapps lack of speed it wouldn't last more than 2 rounds. Tyson will only fight by Queensberry rules.
Sapp charged him yeah but Tyson just stood their, didnt flinch, dint back up, dint cover up. Just laughed. He may be a washed up joke but he'd still destroy sapp in a boxing match.

Watch the Tyson/Williams fight again. Mike hit Danny Williams with everything but the ring post, and the man was still standing! Danny Williams would've been out 20 years ago. Mike's long lost it mentally and now he's lost it physically too.

I have footage of Bob Sapp and Mike Tyson challenging each other after the Bob Sapp fight with Yamamoto and I was just wondering what happened and if there was a fight. If there was a fight, can someone tell me who won please.
