40180, Those of you looking for a different workout.... Posted by Fallen4ng31, May-27-09 06:24 PM
I picked up the new "Punch-Out!!" for Wii. Most of us played "Punch-Out!!" or "Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!" as kids, and, I must say it is a hell of a lot of fun. I don't just say this as a gamer, but, a former Golden Gloves light-heavyweight contender. :P If you're looking for a fun way to burn some calories, or, A way for you or the old-lady to get out some rage, look no further. $50 is a pittance for this title. Just don't blame me if you put your Wii-mote through your TV.

I've been wanting to play that. I love the boxing on Wii sports.

The new Fight Night coming out soon will finally include Mike Tyson. In fact, the cover will feature Ali & Tyson. This looks like a fun game.
I wonder if the new Punch-Out will be even better with the enhanced gyro sensor's the Wii is adding to the remotes?

Tyson is a has-been, at best. Tyson vs Douglas, or Tyson vs Klitschko ring a bell? (No pun intended.) Not to mention the fact that he is one of the most mentally unstable people I've ever seen. But, I'm excited about the new Fight Night/KO Kings, whichever monicker you want to call it by.

He may be a has-been these days, but regardless I think when most people are asked the question who you wouldn't want to face in the ring when they were in their prime, the majority of the answer would be Mike Tyson. Every time he fought, he envisioned his fist going through the guys head.

You are right, I wouldn't want to step in the ring with Tyson. I would put him in the top 5 of fighters I wouldn't want to face in their prime, others being Max Baer, Sugar Ray Robinson, George Foreman, Rocky Marciano.
I list Foreman instead of Ali for three reasons. How many fighters can mount a comeback and win the title at the age of 45? Second, Foreman knows how to work the jab, a devastating long-term weapon that most fighters neglect. Also his grill is awesome. :P

Outside of boxing.... did you guys hear about Tyson's 4 year old daughter?
Died in some accident with the treadmill at their home. Pretty sad. Tyson was out of town when it happened.

Yeah, that's sad. Something about being strangled by the cord, I think.
