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

[theface07]

Lol damn, this is turning out to be kinda horrible year for boxing. Garcia gets caught cheating, Bivol-Beterbiev postponed, Canelo not fighting Benevidez, now this. It was still entertaining to see old man Mike in the ring

Lmao, Damn just seen that Ortiz fight not happening either. Boxing is cursed

Be happy we have the Saudis making big fights happen.

Any half sensible boxing fan wasn't looking forward to this debacle horror show. It's the definition of a casual "fight", a youtuber vs a senior citizen.

All Tyson has to do is train to fight hard for a couple of rounds and catch Paul #1 son. These guys have never been hit like that, Power is the last thing to go. Like Deontay Wilder! Oh... well forget the analogy to Wilder ahem!

Lets analyze the fight using probability. Tyson figures on maybe attacking all out, lets say five times? I the meantime he can keep away from tyhat right hand Paul has... Lets figure that at least 2 times he catches Paul... Even older Tyson. A guy that still managed to drop Douglas while losing horribly, a guy that laid out Michael Spinks, a boxing marvel.

Yes, his age makes it so his attack is diminished, his resistance is lower and he can attack less, but Tyson is still stronger, bigger than anyone the Paul brothers fought, and probably still hits a lot harder than Tommy Fury.

If I am Tyson? I train for a 3 round fight... IMO no Paul brother ever intended to fight Tyson, we shall see if this fight gets made, or if another opponent is substituted.

People like you are the reason this farce of a fight was even scheduled. Delusional, nostalgic fans who think Mike is still "Iron Mike", "the baddest man on the planet" when in reality he's an older man who smokes weed 24/7.
How about this: If the fight happens and Mike gets KO'd, you come on here and say how wrong you were that a senior boxing alumni had any business in the ring against anyone in fighting shape under 40 years old.
It doesn't seem like any of these Netflix fight enthusiasts understand the human aging process.

Your naive... this fight was NEVER really scheduled... It was never going to happen.

I would bet a lot that either goober Paul brother, unlike you, see this fight as very dangerous, definitely too dangerous to risk their reputations upon. And I never said it was a good thing, nor that it was not potentially harmful to Mike... But I stand by the assertion that if Mike had some opportunities he is still very dangerous to parvenus like both Paul Brothers who never fought a real hard punching fighter the likes of Tyson.

A diminished Tyson can still be a dangerous Tyson. This is regardless of what anyone thinks. For the record I was never an advocate for this fight. I hate the Paul brothers, even though they happen to be very good for boxing because they show fighters that social media can eliminate the likes of Don King, Arum, etc. In an interesting development the Saudis seem to have given boxing some new life as well...

Heres the thing: when we compare things in boxing sometimes we can lose sight of certain realities. Tommy Fury is a soft punching, self doubting opponent. The MMA guys were not boxers. Even with the age difference and other such things... Taking a shot from a diminished Mike Tyson, even a diminished Tyson... is a big risk compared to what their level of risk in the sport has been.

Want to bet they get another "opponent" after getting Paul's name out, associating it with Tyson?, yada yada. I actually think the Paul Brothers are good for boxing but they are scammers, s c umbags, what they did to gain money takes no intelligence, it takes guile. Someone like Grant Cardone? another s cumbag, but very smart... No doubt. The Paul bros? Scamming people with c r ypto market manipulations, and then trying to threaten people with frivolous lawsuits... These guys know how to make sure they risk very little... Meanwhile they are so daft their lawsuits were all garage, or had to be retracted, and here we are.

I just had a feeling neither one of these guys would risk fighting even an older Tyson lol. I may well be wrong and will eat crow but I think this was a set up from the get go.

Why is Cardone a scombag?

What if Tyson uppercuts Paul to the moon?

[Lomadeaux]

This garbage was doomed from the start. Totally ridiculous BS fight. Paul needs to fight a creditable opponent and stop this public scam. Cancel this garbage for good.

Dude's never fighting a real boxer. He lost to Tommy Fury who is garbage. Anyone and everyone who supports this clown should be ashamed of themselves.

Lots of shady deals... Leaving others holding the bag when things go south (financially).

That would be great but it's wishful thinking at best. The fight was postponed because Mike was KOd by airline travel. I dislike Jake Paul as much as the next guy but people supporting this sideshow are naive and unrealistic at best. Nostalgia can be a dangerous thing.
The average casual fan looking forward to this fight still thinks that Mike is the baddest man on the planet. He was shot 20 years ago!

We saw what happened when Holyfield got touched in his exhibition That's a guy who had one of the best chins we've ever seen.

I don't begrudge Mike earning a few quid, but it's finish stuff. You don't take punches well in your old age.

I didn't say hes in mensa tbf. Ik most old school cats got lil to near zero knowledge of the new economy & art of attention getting & retaining, but the Paul brothers are in the top 1% in that level of intelligence.

Do some research bro... Your not slow, the information is out there. These guys started out as social media clowns. Once they got a following they conspired with other social media individuals to scam through ****** type pieces. Their intelligence? The great conspiracy that took smarts? Simply endorsing for other people...And then claiming to produce a game, and pieces and never coming through. My wife took one look at these clowns and told me "Oh yeah those are the type girls avoid in highb school." Go to the tube ad read Coffeezilla, who is actually "A smart" investigator.

They basically got into this to draw attention and frankly? I will be the first to admit they are great for boxing, the social media model is what these fighters need... But intelligent? These guys just are deceitful. Wanna see if that "Tyson" fight takes place? I do not think it ever was going to. They do not take any risks that may endanger their rep... that is their "intelligence." That and appealling to a demographic of kids and losers who admire other men from the vantage point of passive adoration, as opposed to mentorship.

People are easily impressed... This same attitude got people in trouble with Sam bankman and his so called "wiz' kids, including his girl friend who WORKED at a hedge fund and somehow forgot what the concept of Hedging is... And Bankman himself, being told how smart he was by his grooming parents, but no... He was not so smart. He actually is a smart guy Panda, but not nearly as smart as people thought. And Musk... another idiot who has the money to hire the best and does nothing but destroy his own projects. Lol Smart? More like narcassistic, greedy and incompetant.

You wanna know who really is smart? That guy you see at the mall who passes you buy. You will never know because many people with smarts know the trouble they can get into with the government, etc. The smart traders? are they going to sell their knowledge lol? NO...

I say this as a posting buddy here, take this as unsolicited advice. Do not be so easily impressed. If someone told you "Mr P you can take your life back, and make videos for kids and degenerates, get attention, then scam these same individuals, and eventually people will think you are smart and you will be rich, would you roll that way? Some would, some would not... but that is what this is with the Paul brothers. And yes... with that kind of money they can hire the best trainers!! the best chemical enhancement... etc
