You do realize that ribs protect vital organs, organs that can be pierced by a broken rib correct?
Has nothing to do with strength
Freddy Roach said Tyson was not the hardest puncher he's ever trained.. He didn't have the density that othe boxers/punchers had.
he said what made tyson special/dangerous was the speed of his punches at a Heavyweight level. Unless you have the chin and conditioning of say a Emander Holyfield, it might be a closed casket no matter what age Tyson is.
You can tell by looking at the footage that he's gotten older but Tyson at 50 is still more dangerous than any ordinary nikka at any age, size, experience.
Deontay Wilder at this point will wash Tyson... but Tyson at the same age would wash Wilder with ease
Tyson on his back is just like any other inexperienced nikka on his back but getting there is the hard part. Can you deal with the movement and speed of a trained, experienced fighter long enough to attempt a takedown and submit him?
I keep trying to tell nikkas... good/great boxers are not ordinary nikkas. For the most part, most MMA athletes are ordinary nikkas who realize they can learn bare basic techniques and compete regardless. Boxers are forged in what is my opinion, the toughest and most dedicated sport. What we are beginning to see is athletes that are moderate boxers transitioning into MMA and doing good if they stick to the basics. Boxing is the most difficult yet simplest fighting art on the planet...IMO ofcourse
