Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson-Jake Paul Postponed After Tyson's Medical 'Flare-Up'

Now now now. He’s no where near world class obviously, but for what he, is he’s fine. He puts asses in the seats, keeps eye balls on the sport, and money on the table.

I just don’t want people talking about he’s boxings next best thing.

You may be right considering where boxing (and the world at large, for that matter) is today. Still, I'm probably too old-fashioned to accept influencers and other assorted wannabes in the sport. But hey - money always wins, nowadays.

Something is fishy with this fight. I do not think Paul would, at Arm's length, with no conditions, simply risk fighting Tyson... I just think Paul is too scared at losing. I doubt this fight happens and if it does? the fix is in.

If hands were free to fly, not only would JP be risking his financial future, but his health over all.
JP is playing the role of a boxer (it's nonsensical of him being listed in boxrec )

A 100 year old Mike, given 2 minutes to find JP, would not end well for JP.
The ''fix'' was absolutely in (pretty much a redo of Tyson vs RJJ)
Everyone loses except Mike and JP.

True. But Jake Paul, too, has no business being in a boxing ring.

You are right. Jake Paul beat up guys who can’t fight.

I don't care what shape Mike gets into, it's never going to be alright for any event to condone a 58 year old being punched in the head. It's sickening.

These events are a disaster waiting to happen and will take down the sport one day. The Holyfield 'fight' should have been the one to draw a line under them, but here we are again. Stooping lower and lower.

Stu-pid people who thought Tyson would win this - are getting a heavy reality check. He got dizzy on a plane due to an ulcer. Think how dizzy he will get when one of Paul's punches lands

All Tyson has left in him are 30 second training videos. He has no chance against a young guy like Paul who can fight a little bit

Get Big John Fury in as a replacement!!!

Haha, I would watch this trainwreck!

Does anyone think it was a good idea for Tyson to be fighting at 58?

Thing is, the Paul brothers are not smart, but they are vain. I actually think even a 60 year old Tyson, mano to mano, is in the mind of the Paul brothers, too risky. Something is up... I think he is using Tyson for promotion and will fight someone in the margins of whom he knows he can winagainst.

While they're at it, they should check Mike for hemorroids and prostate cancer also.

Lol wut??? They are nothing if not smart. You don't become as successful as both have in multiple fields without being smart.

Sh^t man Jake Paul started boxing 6yrs ago & started promoting 3yrs ago & hes the first guy to get boxing on Netflix despite all the knowledge & expertise of TR, PBC, Matchroom, Queensberry & GBP. That alone says a lot about him without getting into anything else hes done.

Too many cats lean towards glass half empty logic here lol. Everyone sucks, is stoopid, a bum, not smart & etc & so on. Most of the mfers we talk about here are smart & winning at life. Just because they did a dumb thing here or there or took an L or got KO'd or whatever don't mean overall they aren't killing sh^t or smart.

They have a low level kind of smartness but nothing exceptional.

Look I'm not going to get into a whole thing with you... You think he's smart God bless you.

[billeau2]

I'm going to make a bold prediction that this fight never happens lol.
