The difference between a white-collar fan 'n a grizzled vet

[john garfield]

When a white-collar fan was asked if he'd get in the ring with Mike Tyson for a million dollars, he said, "I wouldn't fight 'im for 10 million!". Grizzled trainer, Tommy Gallagher, shot back, "I'D SUCK HIS COCK FOR A MILLION DOLLARS!"

[GPater11093]

I would say an observer would be a fan as in a big fan like the people who post on here. Whereas an insider would be a trainer, manager, journalist with a boxing magazine or a newspaper in the old days, boxer etc...

Tommy Gallagher is a piece of work. Until your actually in the ring its kind of hard to understand boxing.
I would fight Mike Tyson at any point in his career for a million bucks because I know how to box, and Im pretty confident I could find a quick and safe landing onto my ass to get counted out without being chucked into the cheap seats.:lol:

I think i would do it...one thing i would do is a shit load of neck work in traing...lots of ab work...medicine balls to the stomach...get use to taking shots in sparrring some.... (but you dont want to be getting hammered) and i would train for 3 rounds...very little distance.mostly hill sprints..id just go out their and try to fight him hard..and i have done some boxing...so i am pretty sure i could get out of their without dying...its not like the guys that tyson fought in his first 10 fights where really much better then me...i wouldnt definitly take up the offer of fighting him for a million....

[lefthook31]

Hell no, wouldnt be possible, but I would look for the easiest way out of the fight without getting seriously hurt, or looking like Bruce Seldon. My approach would probably resemble something like Peter McNeelys, get inside as quickly as possible, except I would be more aware of the uppercut which I wouldnt want to get hit by. Id take an earmuffed hook to the side of the head and down goes me for the count.

Personally, Im somewhere in between.... I dont want to suck no pink meat & I dont want to get KTFO..... but for a million £/$.... Id happily take the KO loss given those particular choices.

Maybe the damage that might occur before you start your dive ? :think

Are you Michael Spinks, if you are, i have a big respect for you career up until Tyson, The Tyson fight stinks out you whole legacy and made you look yellow .......... Nobody is fooled about what Spinks did that night !!

[JohnThomas1]

Do we know for certain Tommy isn't horses hoof, and therefore would probably knob him for free?!?!?! :lol:

[MW159]

I'd like to think I would get in there and actually fight Tyson and not lay down (though the thought of me finding out I have an iron chin and Tex Cobb'ing my way through a one-sided ass kicking against Tyson is unsettling) but in truth I would take the dive and take the money and run.

[lefthook31]

Its funny you mentioned Spinks because I was going to use him as an example to all these keyboard warriors that said they would fight him and try and win. Spinks a decorated champion couldnt make it out of the first round with Tyson. If you want to call getting knocked unconscious with his eyes rolling in the back of his head, laying down, you really wouldnt be impressed with the way I would go down against Tyson. :lol:

[GPater11093]

I would try against Tyson, hell I dont think he is the hardest heavyweight puncher but i think hes quick so hed hit you with a punch you wouldnt see, knock you cold so you wouldnt feel it

Dont you weigh about 120 pounds?

[GPater11093]

130lbs

Like heck i would try I would just start moving round the ring then claim i injured my ankle and couldnt continue

I was going to say you may wake up with half your vocabulary still in tact.
BTW how did you do in your rematch?? Did you move laterally instead of straight back against that big dude?

[GPater11093]

Yeh first round i moved around was boxing on him but he started to hodl back and not commit so hard to hit so in the second i let him come forward abit and counterpunch him, then in the third my trainer told me to go for it so i threw punches and forced him back around the ring and just kept punching and got the decision was very happy with myself, now got a National Tournament coming up.

Sorry mate I forgott to tell you the caveat.

In order to get your $10 000 000 you must last as long as Michael Spinks.

If you fail even by one second you get nothing.

An amateur did once take a bet that he could last longer against Georges Carpintier than Bombadier Billy Wells had, and he won it.

[GPater11093]

You could do what the guy did to last 4 rounds with John L. Sullivan did

a combination of clinching falling and moving taht would last 91 seconds

If you wan't but Tyson won't show you any quater.

[GPater11093]

Obviously, but that could work, Im only 130lbs maybe my movemnt would last me 60 seconds take an easy KD another 10 seconnds run some more then wolla 91 seconds

For 10 million I would try. I dont think Im big enough to keep Mike off of me, but maybe I could whisper in his ear in the clinches what the deal was and he would play along? :D

[janitor]

Obviously, but that could work, Im only 130lbs maybe my movemnt would last me 60 seconds take an easy KD another 10 seconnds run some more then wolla 91 seconds

Could work in theory.

What about 90 seconds with the Jack Dempsey of Toledo with those 5 oz gloves?

What about taking a body shot from Bob Fitzsimmons with those 4oz gloves?

Would you be up for these for the right money?

[janitor]

Im afraid not.

He gets the $10 000 000 if he stops you in under 91 seconds.

Awesome great win. Sometimes you have to outhink your opponent, especially when a guy is bigger than you.
Just remember dont move straight back when you get rushed by an opponent step to the side, opens everything up. You dont have too much time to make adjustments in a three four round fight, but seems like you did a great job, well done.

ok its not looking good for me. Im a LH at best these days.

[Chinxkid]

Aw, fuck Mike Tyson. He ain't so tough. I'd knock the tattoo off his face....

:bbb






Just kiddin' Mike. We cool? Mike ... I said, are we cool? Mike? Mike? :scaredas:
Oh, shit..:yikes

Dempsey i thought liked to guage his opponents to start with and move around see what they did, that would work in your favour if you was only lasting 91 seconds i reckon i would give it ago.

Fitzs he was more of a counter puncher so i would really just run from him.

Thanks, was hard to win like really had to grit in.

You'd have to give him half.

I'm presuming this is Brit slang for bein' bent, JT. Gonna run this by Tommy. He should have a choice reply for you. This is how I'd best describe him:

He's a larger-than-life, profane, mean as a junk-yard dog, opinionated, impatient, very loud, crude, brutally honest, very loyal, former undercover cop 'n laugh riot 24-hours-a-day. Bein' with his family is like an episode of the Osborne’s.

[Chinxkid]

:rofl:rofl

How's my man?

[Arka]

Obviously, but that could work, Im only 130lbs maybe my movemnt would last me 60 seconds take an easy KD another 10 seconnds run some more then wolla 91 seconds

Yeah I think running would give you about thirty seconds. :think

If there wasn't a 3 knockdown rule and Mike cornered you,you could always drop to the floor and he would be forced to go to a neutral corner.:D

[GregDempsey]

I would definitly get in with Mike now...some 50 year old photographer did some street fighting with him at a airport a month back and seemed fine..he had a few girl scratches..he did wear a big bandage...but that seemsed to be just for the camras...trying to set up a law suit im sure....

[GregDempsey]

fuck that id do months of hard core traing...train for 1 hard round...nothing but sprints..very little distance running...50 percent of my workout would be ab work and neck work (with lots medicine ball to the stomach) rest would be sparring..then id go in their and give it my best...fuck it., no way am i dropping to the floor aganst anyone...prime tyson or not (well im sure id drop to the floor...but he would have to hit me)

[john garfield]

bump

[Dempsey1238]

weiging about 140 pounds myself, I dont relly give myself much of a chance against Tyson,

Tyson would perhaps knock me out with the first punch he thown. Any Tyson.

I know I ant going to last the 91 seconds like Spinks did.

I know how Tommy is, and am bitterly hurt nobody even acknowledged my joke!

If Tyson was serious you wouldn't last 30.

[DudeGuyMan]

For a million bucks I would take my flabby untrained white ass in against Tyson, sure. I'd even be honest about it and actually try to hit him. My feeble punch would bounce off him with zero effect as he horribly destroyed me in the opening seconds of the bout, but whatever. I've got a mouthpiece in, I'll keep at least some of my teeth, and there's a doctor right there at ringside.

Regarding the challenge to last longer than Spinks, I have absolutely no chance of success. I couldn't even last long enough against the onslaught to try to clinch or foul. I'd do it anyway though, then try to cash in on my own failure like Peter McNeely and that Pizza Hut commerical where he got knocked out by some crust.

Man i just love your honesty because thats exactly what i would do, and if everyone on here was honest, they would do the same. Dont know it we,d last 9.1 secs never mind 91 secs

[Kalasinn]

Hell yeah i'd do it, but honestly at my weight even McBide fight Tyson would probably destroy me with a single stiff jab. Do I get a signed photo of the knockout punch?

@DudeGuyMan: Nice raw honesty dude.

[GPater11093]

:lol::lol:

i wouldnt last 10
