Would kimbo slice beat Mike Tyson in a fight?
I don't see Kimbo Slice beating Mike Tyson. Although Slice did train in MMA, he was pretty lousy at it and his street fights are all pure boxing based fights. Tyson was on of the best heavyweight boxers of all time, and the youngest champion (beating Trevor Berbick for the HW championship at age 20.) Tyson had great speed and cardio but some of his best strengths were his phenomenal power and head movement known to as "bobbing and weaving" you sometimes see Slice doing in fights.
I also think Mike Tyson in his prime would stand a better chance in an MMA bout than an MMA fighter would in a boxing bout against him.
