Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Sanctioned As A Professional Fight

[deathofaclown]

Tyson is in far better shape and has taken 1000000 times less punishment in his career than holyfield did.
Look at the way tyson trains and still spars with youngsters in comparison to holyfield. Holyfield is way more battle worn and damaged than tyson.

That being said, here’s what i’d like:

I want Tyson to come out looking sharp as **** and in the end of round 1, he does to paul what he did to Spinks in 1988. Then all of tyson’s haters on ************* (they seem to have found this thread, well one specific guy at least).

But, with his advanced age, and paul’s youth, i think it will drag on as a sparring session and tyson will gas out. I just want tyson’s last ring to be a good one. Not like the ending he had against McBride. I thought roy would’ve settled it but it seems like it didn’t.

the ending he had vs McBride wasn't some unfortunate or unlucky ending though. It was the ending because he was shot to bits and couldn't beat anyone decent. It was a fitting and true ending because it told no lies about his level at the end.

Paul would wreck him at this point if he was allowed to.

It's sad but its the truth.

I don't know if Jake will be able to hold Tyson. Not early at least. Tyson is a beast lol.

I dear hope to god that Tyson puts him into retirement man. Jake Paul is a menace and a disgrace to boxing.

He is... I like a good villain as much as the next guy. But the Paul brothers... They are really not bright, there's nothing really special about them, my wife fondly puts it as "those are the type of guys you avoided in high school" lol. And he has this kind of sneaky, real provincial kind of smartness. He never really risks what people think he does when he makes contracts for these events.

And that last point is what I despise about him the most. He uses his money to talk these guys into fighting when he obviously has all the advantages.

Yup. I’m 20 so i grew up actually watching the Paul Brothers. I never liked them after i actually started boxing when i was 15. They are clowns. Nothing but clowns. And mike had played a huge role in getting me into boxing, and even getting me back into boxing after covid, and even now during a difficult time in my life. I really hope the last image we see of tyson in the ring is him landing that same combo he did on Marcus Frazier back in ‘86 haha

Botha was a HUGE guy and capable of holding/manhandling Tyson.
