Do I have to box or can I run around within the ring the entire time?
The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.
People saying "I can just dance around him".. You do realize he is a professional boxer right? Compared to other professional boxers he may have been slower, but he is still pretty fast. I wouldn't discount him too much.
Just dance him for 12 minutes. He's old and slow.
If you're letting a long retired 51 year old close the distance on you, you are out of shape.

I don't know what kind of shape Tyson is in but I'm sure hes still able to beat me. I think I could last 4 rounds though.
No thanks, not sure any non-boxer would be alive, after getting punched by Mike Tyson for 12 minutes..... 12 minutes of him just beating the living shit out of you, do you realise how long that is? I'd rather take my chances with a high speed car accident.
No, because there is a 0% chance he's not going to knock my ass out before four rounds are up.
If getting KO'd still got me the cash, I'd go for it.

basicaly, can you run around for rounds or not.
Ah it’s more physics and science than will. He might be slow but all it takes is one hit. I can take a punch but this is why weight classes and sanctioning exists.
Tyson is capable of killing a boxer with a punch if they aren’t prepared. Although the bigger the boxer they have more power but a swing and a miss takes lots of energy. If you block it takes weight to absorb. Your head is the most important to protect.
Just can’t block forever it wears you down them too but energy wasted or an opportunity not taken is bad
If you can block move and tie him up you have a chance. 4 rounds 12 mind.

LOL computer nerd vs. iron mike. Even at 51 he'd still knock you out in 1 round. Shit, 64 year old mayweather sr. would fuck you's up in 1 round.
honestly i'd like to see everyone here who claims they could get a chance to do it.. they could make a reality show out of it
Fucker was tough in his prime.
But at his age now? .... Make it a MMA game to be sure, and im in. He has good hands, but im bigger (im taller 22 centimeters over him), probably stronger, i got reach advantage.
Nothing to lose anyway. Hug him, take him down and let the fight take place there, so i disable his hands. Maybe im fast enough that i could get up to soccer kick his head off, if Iron Mike doesnt know how to defend.

Anyone clicking 'yes' on this vastly overestimates themselves.
Great idea but practically it wouldn't work (and I'm not trying to be that guy who shits over every poll - I think I'm on record as usually really liking the questions you come up with).
Interestingly enough, I ran this idea by a friend of mine several years ago. With the same general idea of payout - although I was much more lenient on payout.
What most people do not realize is that 99.9999999% on us do not have the physique to withstand a single punch from even a geriatric Tyson - it would break our necks. Literally. This is why boxers have such thick necks - huge muscle build up. Moreover, no one here would last more than a few seconds before he hit us and then we'd either pass out or die. Even if we spend the entire time just running around the ring avoiding any engagement, he's still catch us, and then kill us. By accident.
So, I would pass.
