21. Mike Tyson

Iron Mike Tyson is probably the most well known boxer that there’s ever been. That’s because he was an absolutely vicious fighter. He was able to knock people out so handily that it became a running joke that his fights were always so short. Indeed, it seemed for many years that he was totally unstoppable, and by the end of his career, he’d have only six losses compared to fifty wins. That’s not a bad record at all.

These days, Tyson seems to have mellowed out just a tad from the way he was before. Presumably more level headed, he has more control over his anger. You wouldn’t want him to get upset with you. But if he knew when and who to release that violence upon, Tyson would be a great zombie apocalypse partner.

It’s been many years since Tyson has had his last professional fight. But don’t think for a second that the guy isn’t still dangerous. Despite his voice, Tyson is one of the baddest dudes on the planet, and he is scary as hell. I wouldn’t ever want to come face to face with him in any kind of confrontation. But, in the zombie apocalypse, if I can manage to get him on my team, it would help me out a lot.
