Yep, it's a rather pointless thread.

Depends on how fast Tyson could run, Think he'd be as manoeuvrable as a dumper truck so I'd give myself at least a minute....

I think the smell of poo in my boxing shorts would keep him away for a couple of rounds.

Yeah, make him angry before he punches you.

Discretion is the better part of valour. I’d be super discreet about bravely jumping out of the ring extremely swiftly and legging it.

Very fast. This is him at 15 yrs old.

Do I have a 9mm pistol? If so, between 6 and 8 seconds. If not, 0.5 seconds.

Well of course, I’d only be running away because I wouldn’t want to hurt him.

For £x million pounds I wouldn't really care how long it took. Although quicker the better would make sense.

That's if I got the point of being an actual contender and worth the money. Which I wouldn't be.

To answer the silly question though, I'd say about 30 seconds. 25 of them would be me running away from him.

Yeah, about as long as it takes them to say that.

I'm in the running away camp too! Not only was he a fantastic and quick boxer, but he was a nasty so and so as well. So someone definitely not to be messed with I reckon.

Point of order.

He's Mike Tyson, not a bleedin' asteroid the size of Texas arriving at 20 kilometres a second.

With a nominal world populace of 8 billion, and assuming he's only punching one person, that first punch would likely kill 0.0000000125% of the population.
