Mike Tyson

I have asked myself this questions in the past. I am not sure my answer has changed.

"Would you take an unblocked punch from Mike Tyson for $1,000,000?"

I will post my answer later.

In a word.....heck ya!! Pain is temporary but a pair of really great and super expensive shoes last forever.

Hmmmm.... think about the wedding dress you could buy with that kind of money - there's your answer!! ;-)

I would let him punch me for a million + medical bills for the broken jaw, teeth, and concussion.

Keith said...

Exactly Kevin, there is no way I am taking a punch from Iron Mike for a million dollars. You could have brain damage, broken neck, he could blind you.... it is just too risky. What if you could never play softball again?...devastating.

Kevin said...

Well, I don't necessarily think there would be massive brain damage from 1 hit. I think the real question you need to pose is if Mike Tyson fought Muhammad Ali in their respective primes, who would win?

My vote is Tyson, no contest. His arm strength was just ridiculous.

Question is would you take a punch from Andy Lauer for $1,000,000?

Didn't think so.

Keith said...

Kevin - I think it could go either way, Ali was way more patient than his opponents and that is how he was so successful. Tyson just overpowered. Punched, made them block, and then struck. Most of the time he only had to land one or two. Serious power...

Andy - I know better, you work out.

Kevin said...

HA, I'd take a punch from Andy Lauer for $100,000.

Heck, I'd probably take one for $10,000.

Kevin, I'd be glad to give you one for free.
