Comments Thread For: How Can Jake Paul Win By Fighting Mike Tyson? He Can't

[IceTrayDaGang]

mike is close to 60!!! age matters!! i dont care if tyson was a killer back in the day... he's almost 60 now. if jake can take tyson's punches, then mike will get knocked out.

If I could chime in on those Mike Tyson training videos they put on social media. Just like before he fought Roy Jones Jr. it was the same. They're using quick cuts and angles to make it look like he's blazing fast and full of energy. The reality is that each of those clips could have been with 5 minute rest periods in between the 5 second sprint he did to hit the pads/heavy bag. No matter how you cut it, stamina isn't as good as you age and we saw that vs Roy Jones Jr. He wasn't much like the highlight clips we were getting prior to the fight happening. I don't expect any difference here. Stamina alone can win this for Jake, but let's be real, it's a ****** as f**k fight that has zero meaning. They're both going to fill their pockets and the boxing world gains nothing from it.

he could still be fast for his age... but that dont matter because he's just shadow boxing in those clips... any pro fighters would look good doing that...

Mike couldn't hurt a flat footed Roy Jones several years ago. Mike also tested dirty
so I don't know how much of that power he was really born with. Now fans hope
Tyson relives George Forman story line.

He was obviously pulling his punches, that was just an exhibition for show, he could have ko'd Roy anytime.

Jones did look god awful in that too. I was surprised.

He was around the same weight as Tyson, to say he was a LHW isn't even fair, he was a SMW in his prime competing as a 175lber.

39 yo vs 60 yo. Anybody's guess.

It's already been determined that nobody will get seriously hurt in this fight.

Regardless of age...Iron Mike is a hard man to hurt ....let alone stop. For Paul to win he's really going to have to beat Mike up...and i think thats unlikely given how hard it is to build momentum over 2 minutes. The short rounds will favour Mike in that this is going to become a shootout and Mike has far more power than Jake who by professional boxing standards has a relatively leaky defence.

You must have missed the cringe-inducing knockouts of the great Roy Jones in his last few fights. Roy was getting clipped by journeymen.
Tyson’s aura has out lived the fact that he’s been long retired and is just a shadow of his young version.

Are you saying first off that Jake Paul is better than most journeymen out there? Secondly...are you saying Roy Jones has a better chin than Mike Tyson? Jones has been taken out cold. Tyson has been beaten down...but never put out cold. Like i say...Paul.would need to put on a beatdown to stop Tyson....and 2 mins a round isnt going to get it done.

It's known that these two guys do business together. This is a money grab and nothing more. Tyson's old ass isn't going any further in his boxing career than he already has, and Paul's inexperienced ass will likely never fight a prime, ranked boxer.

It’s the same as looking at James Toney when he was a heavyweight. He was never a heavyweight. Just an out of shape super middleweight.

Even though Roy beat him, Toney could do that because he was a highly skilled fighter, far more skilled than Roy. Imagine if he didn't have the once in a century athletic ability? He'd be a sloppy amateur getting kod left and right.
