    Mike Tyson chasing that legacy-defining win

    Kudos to Mike Tyson. He has come under fire from the Great Nash for losing to every great fighter he fought, Lewis, Holyfield X2, Buster, Danny 'the Brixton Bomber' Williams, and McBride, and seems to get too much credit for beating a small and terrified man with a garbage resume, Spinks, as well as Tucker and Tubbs, who nobody knows which is which, as they are so forgotten.

    But a few years ago, Tyson got a very credible draw with Roy Jones Jr, and both men left the ring with a very deserved and very real belt, but... it was still not a win.

    He now faces Jake Paul for his MVB World Championship belt. Paul has an incredible resume, beating the best of the best of UFC, and some outstanding boxers.

    He has only lost 1, and that was to Fury blood, dripping in family fighting legacy and uncastrated wild boar, and it was fight of the century, so no shame in that.

    Can Tyson, at the tail-end of his fighting prime, beat ATG and World Champion, Jake Paul? Unlikely! But he has earned Nash's deep respect by rolling the dice and stepping up, which I'm sure Iron Mike will be thrilled about. Nash out

    Tyson will never be able to replicate Evander Holyfield's quest for glory against Vitor Belfort, when he went down fighting against a much superior boxer.

      No. He is chasing money and fun / purpose.

          Nash just hopes that if as expected and MVB World Champion Jake Paul wins, that Tyson fans don't use the past prime excuse. He was better than ever vs RJJ, and people are saying he has improved since then. Clearly a late bloomer.

          This fight will be as big as Mike Tyson vs Hulk Hogan was going to be before Buster ruined things. Rocky Balboa always said that Hulk Hogan was his toughest opponent. It is highly likely Tyson will be saying the thing thing about World Champion Jake Paul. Nash out

            Year 2072, some old barber shop:

            - This is their one! Every time we talk about boxing white people pull Jake Paul out of their as$! Jake was good, but compared to Mike he ain't ****!
            - He beat Mike Tyson's as$!
            - Mike was 67 years old when they fought!
            - I don't care how old he was, he got his as$ whooped.

              Steel City Interactive agreed that if Mike Tyson can beat Jake Paul, they will finally put him in Undisputed. They told him that he needs more creds before he's eligible to be added to the game.

                Nash knows what's up. Tyson's legacy is on the line here.

                  Nash agrees with that call. Can Tyson finally get that huge victory? Nash out

                    This one fight makes or breaks Tyson's legacy. It is such a huge fight, but Nash believes the aura, record, and World Championship belt of Jake Paul, may be too much for Tyson to handle. Hopefully Jake Paul has ear insurance. Nash out
