Could you knock out Mike Tyson in his sleep?

[CavaliersFTW]

I was reading Pauk's lion essay again recently and he mentioned how Lebron's block on Kobe in the '13 ASG was a cheap shot like punching and knocking out Mike Tyson in his sleep.

It got me to thinking. How many of you guys actually think you COULD knock out Mike Tyson in his sleep? Would any of you take the risk? Let's say someone offered to pay you 1,000 dollars to attempt to crack him right in the jaw while he was asleep. Would any of you do that confidently enough to render him from a state of sleep straight to a state of KO-unconsciousness?

I don't think I would take the chance. He probably could literally beat me to death if I didn't knock him out and I'm not sure I could knock him out even with an open shot :lol

I wouldn't do that to him for a measly $1000. I'm a fan.

It's also very dangerous. You could kill him or put him in a coma.

I honestly don't think I could. Maybe somebody else, but I'm 145lbs, I could probably wind up, put all my weight into the punch and he might just wake up and kill me :oldlol:

Not a fighter but you could strike the windpipe with the web of your hands very fast and hard.

I'm talking a strike to his jaw or temple, traditional boxing style KO (by blunt force trauma to the head), not a throat punch to break his windpipe, you're trying to knock the guy out not kill him :oldlol:

[CavaliersFTW]

I don't think it'd be particularly tough. I mean, unless I have to sneak up on him quietly.
Lets assume you've already successfully made it to the side of his bed and he's sound alseep. You're on a tv show, hidden cameras are rolling and 10 grand is one the line if you can successfully punch him hard enough that he fails to wake up due to KO. If you fail, a crew will rush in to your aid after about a minute and an ambulance is standing by.

Why don't you eat?

[CavaliersFTW]

Why don't you eat?
I probably eat more than you do. 3-4k calories a day, I'm active, athletic, and have a high metabolism. Resting heart rate 49, had an 8 pack since high school. I'm not complaining about being 145. Just matter-of-factly stating I doubt I have the power to KO Mike Tyson because of it :lol

Well if you hit certain spots, you certainly could.

[GreggPopazit]

Easy. Just throw the softest punch of all time and he'll be unconscious.

Then again.... probably not.

[bigkingsfan]

Wait until he's on his death bed.

[Done_And_Done]

Punch a dude (let alone a boxing legend) in his sleep for a grand bro lol

I f*ucking love this place...

[CeltsGarlic]

Yeah, Imma try it.

[deja vu]

I don't want to kill anybody so I won't do that. Even if they offer me full legal immunity, I don't want to have nightmares about killing a defenseless guy.

[tomtucker]

how about sticking my dick in his mouth ? i would do that for a grand...........of course only after i made sure his dentures were in a glass of water beside the bed

[alenleomessi]

how many of you actually punched a dude in your lives i wonder.. you would probably break your wrist punching mike's face

[BRabbiT]

no, not in his prime.

[sundizz]

I wonder if Wilt made free throws and/or won championships in his dreams.

[dunksby]

He is already asleep? That's a ****ing TKO right there.

[Velocirap31]

Easy. Just throw the softest punch of all time and he'll be unconscious.

Genius. :applause:

Why don't you eat?

He's looking for that Mayweather pay day at 147 in September

Dude, its the greatest piece of literature since Pippi Longstockings... dont hate... :no: Gotta give credit to my producer/director/publisher though, Bandito, he made it all into a single post "essay" as it all were actually a collection of 20 something posts.

[Raymone]

Can I use my elbow instead of my fist?

[Pushxx]

If you know how and where to punch, you could do some serious damage or kill someone, Mike Tyson included.

I'm sure if this happened someone would do the necessary research and training.

[Pointguard]

I used to see Tyson at a club here called the Shadow, and he looks like he would pounce on humans to see them scream, extensively, and die. His neck is Huge. It had to play a role in his intimidating other boxers. So you might have to factor in not seeing his face either.

If he'a laying down, unless you are a trained fighter, you are not going to get enough leverage to do it. If he"a standing up nodding out like a heroine addict, that's your best chance. Get a running start, make sure the get away path is clear, load up, and hope you don't fall.

[pauk]

Yes? Especially if im allowed to use my nice Muay Thai Te Kot (downwards roundhouse kick), loading it up to the sky and bring the shin down across his jaw.... wont guarantee a KO, i mean, he might not wake up... :P

But again.... like you read my essay, we dont wanna be like Kobe and be all "cool" n serious in a meaningless situation when the guy or nobody else cares, especially when the guy is freaking sleeping.... then when he wakes up you are your old scrub self running to mama...

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Holy sh!t.

Did two posters just post f*cking emoticons trying to discredit Pauk WHO puts forth years of knowledge of martial arts, cultures, religion, basketball, animals and anything you can imagine a bright chap into an essay for us to read and cherish into a beautifully conceived piece of information.

Talk about crab in a bucket. No wonder this world is screwed.

Effort being allocated to depress the bright.

Unbelievable.

Absolutely unbelievable.

If I was ISH dictator, the naysayers would not only be behind bars, but they'd be under leashes to fetch baklava and coffee for the productive.
