Can an average woman on the street knock out Mike Tyson?

Question

If Mike stood still and the female got one opportunity to land an open shot on him, will it knock him out? By the way, the average women in America is 5'4" and 140 lbs. Mike Tyson is 5'11" 220 lbs (in his prime).

Answer 1

If Mike stood still and an average woman punched him square on the face, there is a huge possibility that Mike would stay standing. The obvious reason is that MIke is a boxer and can take a punch from huge fighters. But there is a very small possibility, maybe about 0.5%-1% of the average woman would knock him out. Why? because of his horrible posture or his standing position. You see, the secret to Mike Tyson's incredible defense is not only from his muscles or his guard or his chin, but by his impetuous head movement. His head or body movement not only confuse his opponents but they minimize the impact of any one punch that lands.

Say for example Mike Tyson was standing still and straight, with his hands down, chin high, and with absolutely no head movement. Then It is safe to say that he will feel that punch being thrown to his face. To make it more interesting, what if the female punching him knew how to punch and if Tyson was day dreaming right before she threw it. Then I wouldn't be surprise if Tyson would stumble from her punch. This explains why people who are off balanced and get hit with a surprise punch get knocked out.

Despite all that however, I don't think any "average" woman can knockout Mike Tyson flat out cold. Unless she's 7 foot tall or something.

Answer 2

I ran into Mike Tyson Friday night in at the Georgetown waterfront here in DC (weird, huh?). First of all, he's only about 5'8". Second of all, even though he was really drunk, I wouldn't have tried to knock him out because he's totally built like a fire hydrant. Dude is about as thick as he is tall and built like a brick sh*thouse. Just because he's not in his prime doesn't mean that he's OUT of shape. I wouldn't mess with him.

Answer 3

Only if she used a baseball bat and Mike didn't see her coming up behind him. It is unlikely an above average woman could KO MIke, and odds are pretty good the average man on the street wouldn't be able to do it either.

Answer 4

Are you insane? I bet all the money that i got that you wouldnt knock tyson with a free open shot. he might step back if you have a strong punch but you have 0 chance of KO him

Answer 5

Would she have a hammer in her hand ? What sort of dumb assed Question is this ? The average women couldn't knock him out with a baseball bat, I doubt whether the average man could !

Answer 6

If she would hit him with a brick! Man Tyson used to walk old ladies across the street then mug them according to what Teddy Atlas used to say........Not a chance.

Answer 7

Yes, because there are openings on your body that anyone could knock you out, just make sure you protect yourself, for example below your checst there is a complete whole threw your body (for most people anyway, i have a body that sticks out).

Answer 8

that can't be a serious question, a 140lb professional fighter wouldn't be able to take out Tyson in one punch, not many people could, if any. Stupid question, you shouldn't be allowed to post anymore.

Answer 9

Depending on the timing, placement, and speed/power of the punch, it could happen. But it would probably either take a lot of luck or a lot skill. Perhaps a little bit of both.

Answer 10

12 lb of thrust from you hand palm under the chin will knock almost anyone out.
