I don't know much about Jake Paul, and it seems like he's an idiot, but I still think it's unfortunate he will be dying at such young age.

Jake Paul is a decent boxer. He’s been training at club level all his life and he’s been doing elite training since he started this new career.

He’s not world-class, but neither is Mike Tyson now.

I saw Tyson hitting the heavy bag about a year ago.
He was still scary.

If Jake Paul’s mental condition is anything higher than “leafy vegetable” after this fight, we will know it was a set up.

27yo v 57 yo seems like a fair match-up.

These days.

I can’t think of Tyson without thinking of Keenan Ivory Wayans portrayal on “In Living Color”

I have often posed the question would you take a punch to the gut by Tyson in his 1988 prime for $100,000.00

I thought Charles Barkley was next up for Mike Tyson?

He is an idiot. One of his opponents maintained to no denials that he was a juiced up on perf enhancers idiot to boot.

Tyson will probably be too big of a favorite. These type of bouts involving the Pauls of the world have been as much circuses at times as real fights.

I give him credit though-you could not pay me to step in the ring with Tyson.

He fought a few times at Trump’s properties incl the Mike Spinks destruction.

Foreman fought into his early 50s. Iron Mike is going to hurt this clown 🤡

Yes. In his day the consensus was that Iron Mike had the hardest punch ever. Bet he’s still got a good one.

There are three contestants in this fight, Tyson, Paul and Father Time.

I’m a couple of years older than Tyson, but when I was 27 and in my prime, you couldn’t have paid me to fight today’s Tyson even if I had a loaded shotgun to help me out. No how, no way - the guy just hits too hard, and while he’s not in his prime, he has 4 months to get back into shape (not that he’s in bad shape now, btw) and to end up hitting 90% as hard as he did in the late ‘80s.

Is Mike this desperate for money? Sad to see. Anyway, I vaguely hope he destroys the YouTube idiot, but not anywhere near enough to pay to see it.
