This is no contest, Tyson takes The Rock out 10 times out of 10.Tyson is clearly nowhere near his prime, however he’s been training hard for his planned boxing comeback and is in incredible shape for a 54 year old, especially considering where he was a few years agoTyson 2020 is on the rightEven at his most out of shape though, Tyson was one of the most feared boxers in history for a reason, they say a boxers punch is the last thing to go, and Tyson only needs one.The Rock is significantly bigger than Tyson physically, and he is a trained athlete, however his body now is more geared towards looking good on camera than athletic performanceIn the end, this just comes down to training. Tyson is a trained boxer, The Rock is a trained performer, if he has any real combat sport experience it’s at nothing like the same level as Tyson.Edit:Quite a few people are saying I’m underestimating the Rock. Just to clarify this is in no way a ‘diss’ of the Rock, he’s a pretty incredible athlete in his own right, however Usain Bolt is also an incredible athlete but if you gave him a tennis racquet and told him to play Roger Federer he would still lose 10 out of 10 games.That’s the situation we have here - Tyson is trained to fight and he was one of the best in the world for a long time, he also has a childhood which involved constant street fights and violence. The Rock is trained specifically to not hurt the people he steps in the ring with. It’s no insult to the Rock, it’s just not his game.Edit 2:Ok, I didn’t think that I’d have to spell this out and I kind of feel like the asshole big brother telling his sibling the truth about Santa, but here goes: professional wrestling is not real guys. The Rock is a trained fighter in the same way that Mark Hamill is a trained Jedi, and the ‘People’s Elbow’ is roughly as effective in a real street fight as the Jedi mind trick.
