Would you consider 5'10 Mike Tyson a manlet?
Why shouldn't I?
Not to his face even now.
>>36683651
Yes, but not to his face
>>36683660
Because
>>36683651
Sorta, I'm 5'11 so I'm king of manlets.
I was running on the treadmill once and saw this manlet walk to drink water. He was like the poster boy of manletsforamerica, I almost busted out laughing irl thinking about someone shouting "MANLET" over his head.
>>36683706
this would kill the average man
>>36683712
lmao how tall was he??
I'm 6'2 myself, but wouldn't consider anything under average height (5'9 - 5'10) to be much of a manlet
>>36683706
Oof
>>36683738
>5'11 manlet detected
nice try hobbit
As a amateur MMA athlete, no. Combat sports place emphasis on Reach. I've blasted guys 6'3+ and I stand 5'11 because of my reach advantage.
Tyson was a different animal, in his prime he was the scariest man on the planet
>>36683712
>shouting OVER his head
kek
>captcha - select all the manlets
>>36683651
>manlet
when will this meme stop?
>>36683715
No shit. The ony reason it didn't kill the dude as well is because of him conditioning his neck constantly.
Your average bloke would have his head punched off.
>>36683998
>"I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand; he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like an infantile retard."
I thought Tyson was stupid?That's modern poetry right there. Srs.
I've been browsing /lit/ for months and I've yet to see anyone come up with anything as fluidly descriptive as that so far desu senpai.
>>36683651
My brother was formerly a fatty. He went from 279lbs of fat to 204lbs of genuine lean muscle mass. We thought it was astounding! I just subscribed personally as I'm hoping to get big muscle mass. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Google it)...
>>36684055
Yes, Tyson was smarter than alot of people gave him credit for, watching boxing was never about seeing a execution before him, Mike's a historian
>>36684055
>I thought Tyson was stupid?
Read his autobiography. In some ways he is stupid, but he's often also very insightful.
>>36684018
manlet detected.
>>36683706
>>36683715
This guy got up right away after that tho. Fucking amazing.
>>36683651
Yes he is a manlet at 5'10", and I'd say it right to his face.
>>36684090
>watching boxing was never about seeing a execution before him
Mike literally says otherwise :^)
>>36684116
>before him
>>36684105
idk if retard or just retard
>>36684115
Lol
Easy to say that, skeletor, when you know you'll never have the opportunity.
>>36684152
Huh?
>>36684167
>skeletor
Ok sure m8 whatever you say. Where does Mike Tyson live? I'll go call him a lil babby manlet, right to his motherfucking face.
>>36684116
>>36684181
>boxing was never about boxing before Tyson
>Mike literally says otherwise
>Mike Tyson said he was trying to kill people
What he said agrees with the first statement, it doesn't say otherwise.
>>36684208
Alright fair. I'm pretty tired senpai so excuse me
>>36684154
angry manlet detected
>>36684095
First time I noticed he has half an eyebrow. WTF
>>36684270
scarring around the eyebrow can fuck up hair growth
>>36683706
Foreman still thrashes, didn't even train hard and still knocked people out by tapping them
>>36684354
No technique in his punches.
>>36684354
This just makes Ali an even bigger beast.
That's why I don't get the tards that say Tyson could take Ali in his prime.
>>36684377
You're an idiot. Tyson would've literally murdered Ali while he tried to prance around
>>36684370
>oldest man to get the heavyweight title
>demolished some of the greatest heavyweights of all time
>went the distance with a prime Evander Holyfield while in his 40's
Keep telling yourself that
>>36684397
Even tyson admitted that he wouldn't have a chance against Ali
>>36684397
>while he tried to prance around
You mean while he pranced around. Not tried.
Ali was a long term fighter while Tyson was literally the opposite. He would have danced around him for 5 rounds and K.Oed him in the next.
That's what Buster Douglas did and Ali is so much better than him it's not even funny.
>>36684469
We're talking about both of them in their prime, not when tyson was clearly on his way down already
>>36684055
He isn't. His coach left a huge impression on him and pushed him to get better than the average street thug he was
At 6'2 I honestly believe I could take Mike Tyson. His reach is nowhere near as long as mine. I'm sure he could deal some heavy blows but if I kept my distance I'd just rack up the points against that manlet.
>>36684700
How strong is your conditioning? You might just have a pretty good chance if you know how to dodge/throw quick jabs.
>>36684561
>>36684090
Yeah. It seems he was actually pretty insightful.
>>36684700
You don't really believe that do you ? Have you ever put a foot in a boxing gym ?
Tyson fought and KO'd 6'6 professional boxers and rarely was his opponenent shorter than 6'2
He isn't a 120lbs mayweather (and this guy would beat you at the same rate).
You'll jab him once ,he'll slip ,step in and destroy your body
>>36684700
he would destroy you
>>36683998
reach is good, but the counter is you just get real close to the long arm guy and pummel him with body shots. You can't dance around with him at range.
>>36684833
>(and this guy would beat you at the same rate).
While I agree that Tyson would kill him, it's a huge reach(no pun intended) to say Mayweather could do the same.
>>36684700
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>36684354
foreman was mental in the ring
>>36684833
Dude it's all mentality. If I go into the ring with confidence and maintain my distance with good cardio, ultimately Tyson would lose. If he tries to slip to the inside I'd throw a couple uppercuts and he'd back off.
>>36683651
5'10 is 5'10, can't deny he's a manlet...
>>36683651
Anything under 6'2 is manlet status sorry
>>36685235
Tyson would fuck your shit up son.
>>36685211
Now add ridiculous speed to that power and you have tyson. Ali would have no chance. He's the conor mcgregor of his time.
>>36685479
Ali wouldn't last 5 minutes with a modern boxer
>>36685479
>>36685490
>thinking tyson could hit as hard as foreman
>thinking Ali isn't the greatest heavyweight of all time
Tyson was fucked up by an aging Holyfield twice, foreman went the distance with him in his prime in his fucking 40's. Ya, maybe Tysons power was more dynamic but you both have no fucking clue on boxing
>>36685235
boxers muscles are all puffy and arent as strong as toned muscle, all you have to do is focus on reps in the gym and youd be unstoppable carved wood against tysons sad blunt axes

Get any average MMAfag to get him on the ground and watch him squeel like a pig while having his joints broken
>>36685679

Stopped reading right there fameelia
>>36685733
Then who is the greatest heavyweight, faggot
>>36685235
lmao
>tyson would loose

Your carcass would fucking be eaten alive and spat out
Your little bitch arse has no chance against this greek god
>>36684055
Mike Tyson is probably autistic and was socially retarded
>>36683706
Because Tyson got knocked the Fuck out by a 6'4" guy.
>>36683651
Yes hes a manlet
>>36685723
>Guy is good at "x"
>B-but this guy isn't good at "y"
People like you are retarded.
Boxers are all about guarding head for the most part. An unchecked kick to the head or thighs destroys fighters. Boxing is in fact a different discipline.
>>36685976
Tyson was an amazing boxer. He didn't know a damn thing about kicks, grappling,elbows, knees, take downs...
I'm not so sure Tyson would have done as well in boxing in mma if he only used boxing skills.
>>36686042
As well in mma as he did in boxing using only boxing skills*
>>36684088
Fuck off
>>36684700

>thinking he's not a manlet

and you think you could just keep your distance like that huh?
okay, it is a low quality bait but okay. you win this one.
>>36685235
>If he tries to slip to the inside
He would definitely slip inside your arsehole, mate.
>>36683651
IRL: No.
on /fit/: "lol fucking manlet, I'm 6'3, 240lb and would crush him with my superior reach and strength"
>>36683706
He's still a manlet
>b-but he could totally beat you up anon
Irrelevant, he's still a manlet
>>36684088
Do these people get banned?
>>36684700
Here's the thing though.
I doubt you're a proffessional boxer.
And you're only 6'2".
Tyson has fought bigger heavyweights with more reach than you.
Your reach won't be a factor to a man who has only fought taller dudes his whole career.
U
He's used to it. He trained for it. He expected it.
His opponents were bigger, had more reach, had better cardio than you.
Mike Tyson would kill you on accident.
One hit under the ribs and you'll piss blood for months.
>>36685723
>go for a double leg takedown on Tyson
>Tyson throws a right uppercut
>you literally die.
Good fight though.
220 lb at 5'10" is too bulky
It looks very nice at 6'7" or so.

Thing is 5'10 may be manlet but dude also has a lisp and aint nobody gonna say shit to his face about it

Does anyone honestly think height matters that much? I'm 5'8 and fucked plenty in college and highschool. I even fucked some girls that were taller than me. I only stopped because I had to become an adult. How would you feel if I called you all uggos because I'm handsome and you arent? Doesn't feel good, does it? Time to get along kids. And let's be honest. Dick size matters more than anything.
>>36687690
Kicks are a great way to keep your distance though. I used to spar with someone with a black belt in Taekwondo, and getting close to him with all those kicks was hard as fuck.
>>36684116
this confused me too, but he didn't mean "seeing an execution before his eyes" but "seeing an execution until mike came into the scene and changed boxing for good"
what do ya'll think about mike not having any real competition? unlike say, ali
>>36688142
Even Bruce Lee said the better puncher usually wins, although I agree kicks are no joke.

>>36688142
I had 6 fights as an amateur, which translates to also having sparred probably 30 people. Guys with good head movement were the toughest. Usually guys who kick a lot can be stopped if you essentially kick spam them. And the tall kickers (who are real bastards) just need body shots.
>>36688142
lots of grapplers wons fights against taekwondo... Of course if you don''t know nothing is hard to win
>>36687690

You being a little know it all faggot is a meme you stupid pecker head.

his ultimate alpha status makes him an honorary 6'4''
>>36686042
Are you fucking serious tyson was constantly getting in trouble for throwing elbows
>>36684700
>>36683651
Hell, no. That niggas absolutely insane.
>>36685479
Except Tyson is actually good
>>36683651
Yes but not too his face
>>36684700
In his prime Tyson is the greatest fighter of all time
His agility is also in the top three of all time btw
he can throw knockout blows with his non-dominant hand already at half extension
he will literally hit you once and you will probably die to be truthful familia
>>36685211
>those fucking punches
didn't care about speed or technique at all
he just kept hitting the hardest he could as if he tried to break a record on one of those devices that measure your punching power
>>36686133
jesus fuck that kid on the right looks like a newborn giraffe
>>36691501
>In his prime Tyson is the greatest fighter of all time
He is the greatest BOXER of all time. Tyson wouldn't last more than 2 minutes against Jon Jones
>>36691501
Prime Holyfield beats him, the old Holyfield already kicked his ass twice well past his prime.
Prime Ali beats tyson, and prime foreman would probably give tyson a brain hemorrhage
>>36685235
iv seen new guy like you at the boxing gym all the time. you think everthing is so simple and you could easily take a champion down. don't you think people have tried hat before on tyson? NO you wouldnt stand a chance against mike

yes, he is 100% a manlet.
less than 6'0 = manlet.

again, in big font for the uninitiated:

Very good technique, actually. Just not classical boxing techniques, which is shit anyway.
>>36684031
How do you condition your neck?
>>36692968
>Prime Ali beats tyson, and prime foreman would probably give tyson a brain hemorrhage
things that are absolutely untrue
before tyson started slipping, when he was young and training how he should, he was on another level. especially against Ali. I know Ali is the all time champion and amazing and all that dick sucking, but he really cannot stand up to a modern champion's power and speed, especially not Tyson.
>>36695340
I posted the routine we used to do in wrestling here a couple times. I should just screen cap it and post whenever it gets asked or even add it to the fuckign sticky at this point:
Yes, No, Maybe:
> Lay on the floor or side of the bed with your head hanging off the bed, or elevate your head lightly off the floor if bed is not available. hang your head in neutral position with chin line perpendicular to your spine
Yes
> till your head back and worth as if doing the 'Yes' gesture.
> Try to bring your chin all the way to your chest and the back of your head as far as you can towards your back
> Do this for reps
No
> From neutral position rotate your chin from shoulder to shoulder
> Looks like you're doing 'No' gesture.
> Do as many reps as you did Yes
Maybe
> From neutral position bring your ears to your shoulders Left to left right to right
> Looks like you're doing 'Maybe" gesture
> do as many reps as 'yes' and 'no'
over time add bridges.
Bridge basic
> Lay down, make sure there is a soft surface underneath your head liek a towel. Not too soft liek a pillow because it will be less support for you
> Bring your heels to your butt
> Bring your hands to the sides your head
> top of your forehead should be the point of contact with the floor
> try to bridge up with your feet keeping your head and hands on the floor
> Gently rock in circles and back and forth
Once you can do that, slowly start putting less and less pressure on your hands and more and more on your head. Overtime do jsut neck bridges
>>36691563
dont think there was a scarier guy in the ring
6'3, 83 inch+ reach
one of the goat chins
hardest puncher of all time
>>36695419

Jesus christ..
Sometimes he barely swings his arm to punch and it still generates massive power
He won the genetic lottery, i have never seen anyone punch so hard while looking like they aren't even trying
>>36695496
George Foreman is the definition of heavy handed. He barely trained and still tapped people unconscious. The man in that webm went the distance with Ali multiple times and even beat the GOAT once. But foreman just makes him look like a fucking child. Foreman would have pulverized tyson in his prime, even when foreman was old amd fat, tyson dodged him because he knew he wouldn't last four rounds.
Looking at those Foreman gifs and a video of his fight pretty much confirmed how Foreman fights. He's a damn genius fighter. His punches are not that hard, he does these love taps because his punches are simply so calculated. His every punch is going for the jaw and he knows that he doesn't need to decapitate a man when hitting the jaw, he's just using enough force for a knock out. He measures his punches a long time before throwing them, just aiming and waiting.
When he's hitting to a defense, he goes nuts with those baseball pitch swings. If he can't hit a jaw and the opponent isn't fighting back, there is no reason not to and he just punches the motherfucker as hard as he can. He's just punishing the guy for curling up and not showing his jaw.
Comparing him to Tyson would be difficult, they are very different power fighters. Foreman is trying to knock a guy out by hitting precisely, Tyson is using short power punches so that he doesn't have to aim.
Yes, anyone under 6'3 is a manlet.
>>36684055
>That's modern poetry right there.
Cringed hard.
>>36695586
You're insane. Tyson dodged foreman? Hahahaha
>>36687690
>Boxing vs MMA
That worked out great for James Toney.
>>36695755
are you kidding me? Go watch Foreman-Lyle or Foreman-Young. Foreman doesn't try to 'hit precisely', he's a furious arm-puncher, and a shover, and he had freakish power. Genius is the opposite of what Foreman was. If Foreman was actually smart, I'd likely favor him head-to-head against any other heavy in history.
> tfw first amateur boxing match for charity in 2 days
save me what have I gotten myself into
>>36696127
He's right, Cus D'Amato explicitely forbid Tyson from fighting Big George because Foreman's style is that hard counter to the peek-a-boo style.
>>36696475
It works well for the Diaz brothers.
>>36684055
There is something of the idiot savant about him.
>>36696783
D'Amato died in 1985 -- Foreman came back in '87.
Tyson ducked Lennox for years, knowing, in all humility, he could never slip THAT jab. And so it was proved.
>>36696789
The Diaz bros talk often about how your average mma striker is god awful
