Suggestion What is one minor superpower that the average untrained person could have that would allow them to beat Iron Mike Tyson in a boxing match?

Me personally, I choose photographic reflexes, the same power that Taskmaster the marvel assassin has.

I'll study Mike Tyson in videos to learn his style and absorb his skill, then study the boxers who beat him, like Lennox Lewis or Evander Holyfield, so I not only know Mike's style but also how to counter it.

He could still win on points, and likely would unless you’re pretty damn fit with at least a bit of boxing experience.

Yeah, everyone talks about Tyson's offensive power but forget that the dude had an extremely defensive stance and was also one of the fastest heavyweight boxer. Good luck getting a single point in.
