In a hypothetical scenario, if Mike Tyson faced Michael Phelps in an average-sized pool, and had to leave till one was dead or incapacitated, who would win? Such a mindboggling question to attempt, indeed. One is a former world heavyweight champion in boxing, and the other is a swimmer with 23 Olympic gold medals.
Well, both have a strong fanbase in the world of sports, and it would be uncanny to see either of them in a situation like the above. However, Reddit is no stranger to such questions, and often is bombarded with such unfathomable questions and theories.

“Phelps would grab his legs and drag him into the deep”: Reddit gives verdict to Michael Phelps vs. Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson is 5′ 10″ and considering a time he was in his prime, he weighed 218lbs. Phelps, on the other hand, stands 6’4″ and weighs 198.5 lbs. Now, here’s what the Reddit world feels would happen if the two ever squared off in a pool.
A user who is no longer active had said this. They felt Tyson would wait till Phelps gassed out and then KO the latter.
However, someone said the above in favor of Phelps. They wrote, “Phelps would grab his [Mike Tyson’s] legs and drag him into the deep…”
The debate went on, and Comprehensive-Use206 suggested their opinion regarding the hypothetical fight.
They contested the previous view and asked if the ‘Baddest Man on Earth’ would actually let Phelps drag him deep inside the water.
In addition, someone said that although Phelps is a strong swimmer, he is definitely no Aquaman and hence cannot beat Tyson at fighting.
The message is clear: “Fighter V swimmer – fighter wins.”
