Would inmates one on one in a fair fight in prison mess with Mike Tyson in 1992 or would Mike beat all of them in prison?

This is the video Mike spoke in this interview saying when he was in prison, he ran into guys in there they weren’t tough and bring pain to them. Is that his ego or he truly was not someone to be messed with to legitimately wipe out the whole prison of intimates by beating them all?

Mike Tyson wasn't nearly as invincible as people seem to think. He could take on one guy, by himself, but not two-on-one or more than that. Not to mention, he's tiny AF. Tyson is only 5'10" (178 cm). There are women that height and bigger! I mean, I still have mad respect for the guy, but he ain't Superman!

Hope we're still cool, right Mike?

Now let’s see …a fair fight in prison? This is most definitely a contradiction in terms ! Fair fights do NOT exist in any prison in the world.

But let’s just assume for a second that the warden in Tyson’s prison was a straight shooter & organised a clean & fair fight. In this instance, I would go with Tyson to clean out the prison.

The main reason I would favour Tyson against almost any other convict is that Tyson first learnt his trade within the confines of a penitentiary. His savage street fighter style was partly the product of a prison environment & would therefore be ideal for jail boxing. So putting him back in that same toughest of the tough environment— spells big trouble for other inmates.

In terms of the stiffest competition— Tyson would have to be wary of fighting lifers & other guys who have nothing to lose. These types of crazy brave convicts could prove harder nuts to crack, than one would otherwise anticipate …but in the end, former heavyweight champion of the world, wielding two bare knuckle sledgehammer fists should be dominant.

They wouldn't be dumb enough to pick a fight with him.

When he was in prison, he only got into one fight. That's because someone got stabbed and everyone was locked down. As a result everyone was irritable and talking shit, he couldn't go work out at the gym to manage his stress, and someone said something that bugged him so he went and punched the guy and that shut him up... That was the end of that.

While a lot of violent criminals go to jail, that doesn't make them good fighters. It just means they lack control. Winning fights is about being able to think clearly when someone is beating on you. The bulk of good fighters are not in jail. He'd win a fight or multiple fights because he was a highly skilled, highly trained fighter that was a master of his craft, who put in the work to turn his body and mind into a killing machine. The guy hit 10x times harder than an average man with absolute precision and was able to slip most professional boxers most accurate punches almost every time. His biggest issue would be holding back his strength so he didn't break his own hands...

All very true, but it isn’t good fighters he’d need to worry about, it’d be somebody picking a fight to get him facing away from a knife used by somebody else.

Maybe… but, Also maybe not. Fighting is unpredictable. You might think you're badass because you may have spent the night in a drunk tank with sucked up dope heads…. But, you never know BeMuse. Unless you're going around starting shit with quiet muthafuckas with their backs to the wall, there's really no way to know their “skill level”. Any real fighter knows not to underestimate your opponent.. especially a sudden group rat-packing your bitch-ass. Bumrush type shit. Not dopefiend in the drunk tank type shit.

Your fantasies are funny... I don't think you've even ever been in a street fight let alone with multiple people or had stick up boy point a gun in your face or pull a blade on you. Why you obsessed with going to prison? That's for people who get caught...

I lknow there are really tough guys in prison and some of these guys are really crazy. However Mike Tyson was pretty tough and pretty crazy too. I don't think anyone could beat him one on one.

No one ever went to prison for fighting fair. But I don't think anyone would have trampled on Iron Mike. In his prime he could punch a hole through most people.
