“Mike Tyson Couldn’t Touch LeBron James in a Boxing Match!”: Twitter Goes to Both Extremes as 6’9″ Lakers Star is Pitted Vs 5’10 Boxing Legend
Who would win in a fight? Mike Tyson or LeBron James? The NBA community responds en masse
We’d say LeBron James is a pretty big guy. You would not do that?
The 37-year-old is 6’9″ and weighs about 250 pounds. Add to that his monstrous athleticism, which he has managed to preserve to this day, and you have a pretty good basketball player.
But would these things help him in a fight?
Yes, of course they would.
But now, coming to the real question.
How much would these gifts from him help him in a fight against boxing legend, Mike Tyson?

Could LeBron James defeat Mike Tyson in a boxing match?
While LeBron James is pretty intimidating, Mike Tyson was no slouch in his prime.
Despite being relatively short 5’10”, at the height of his powers, his weight stacked up to around 220 pounds, not far from the King.
Additionally, he still holds the record for being the youngest heavyweight boxer to win his first title, at 20 years, 4 months and 22 days. Plus, he got there winning his first 19 pro fights by knockout, 12 of them even in the first round.
Finally, the man hung up the gloves with a record of 50 wins and 8 losses. So, in other words, he was a very bad man until the end of his career.
And despite knowing all this information, this is what a certain NBA account tweeted.
This would be a very good fight but honestly I’d go with Lebron… he just has a different structure. pic.twitter.com/ZrTSIyCoW0

Unsurprisingly, the comments section for this one was more chaotic than the way Hell is described in most religions.

LeBron easily. 6′ 9”, 250lbs, 7ft wingspan. Mike is 5′ 10”, 220lbs, 6ft wingspan.
He’s going to need a stool to get to LeBron 😭

Mike would literally turn Lebron’s body to dust. You don’t know how to box just say so

Bronnie would retire from the NBA by the time Lebron regained consciousness.

All in all, this one has proven to be much more decisive than anyone expected.
Does LeBron James have any chance of winning this?
When you’re 6’9” and built like a tank, the fact is you probably stand a chance against anyone in the world in a fistfight.
But, let’s be completely honest here. This is Mike Tyson.
Granted, he probably wouldn’t be able to reach LeBron James’s face without jumping into the air. However, body and liver shots would still be within range of him.
And given his infamous hitting power, there is very little to suggest that the King is staying alive beyond round 1 of this fight.
