Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya Urges Jake Paul to Take Boxing, Mike Tyson Seriously

[Roadblock]

At least he's still fighting boxers. Lol. Even if Tyson is ancient, that old man still moves and reacts better than 98% of average dudes nowadays based on his more recent training videos IMO. But training is training.The last thing to go is power and he sounds like he still got them heavy hands. Personally, if this is serious, feel like Tyson could really KO Paul as long as he doesn't get clocked himself. Crazy to say, but this definitely has some intrigue to it.

I hope it goes this way, anybody that thinks its ok to abuse the elders deserve a lesson, the old fella here is 86 yrs old.

It's going to be a scripted mess.
No way will JP risk his financial health in a real fight with Mike.
I don't care how old Mike is.
Mike is a real fighter and that will be enough.

I hope no one is expecting a serious fight

(Will Mike accept JP's ''Take it easy on me. I'll pay you double if you do what Michael Spinks did when you fought him .'' side offer.....)

LMAO. Seen this a while back. Old boy got serious hands. Honestly, I feel it might really go something like this. Tyson been a trained killer almost his life and Paul just picked this up like a hobby. Despite his old age, Tyson's aura and reputation alone combined with how he looks in some of his recent training sessions alone might scare the ish out of Paul. He's never seen anything close to what an old Tyson looks like in the ring. He better treat this like his life on the line.

Allowing Jake Paul to fatten his wallet by leveraging Tyson's fame is really scummy. If only boxing commissions were responsible for fighter safety. But realistically, that's not their primary directive. And without that framework of decency, an aged fighter like Mike Tyson can sign that lucrative contract even though the next punch could see him suffer lifetime damage.

A boxing union that could enforce a boilerplate provision in any pro fight contract that stipulates a lifetime pension, paid equally by the promoter and commission, to the family of any boxer who dies or sustains permanent injury... that would kill these ****** exhibitions (and egregious mismatches).

I imagine they have some kind of insurance anyway but I don't know.

All I know about Jake's brother fellow YouTuber Logan Paul is he got famous posing next to a dead body in a suicide forest. Basically they will do anything to get views/money/profile. Same with most Youtubers. Just apologize afterwards, maybe cry a bit and you get away with it. So much for cancel culture
