    Would Jake Paul be the best win of Mike Tyson's career?

    Iron Mike Tyson 'reigned' during the forgettable late 80s HW scene, but who did he really beat? His 'win' over the shell of Larry Holmes was nothing but payback for Larry Holmes' 'win' over the shell of Ali, who, at the time, struggled to get out of a chair never mind fight (footage available as evidence online), so that was no great shakes, then Spinks, a terrified LHW with a padded record and with no power, say what you want about Jake 'The Great' Paul, but he's a far harder puncher than Spinks and much more fearless. He even dared step into the squared circle to face unbeaten great, Tommy Fury.

    Tyson faced 5 world class boxers in his career and lost to all of them. Holyfield X2, Lennox Lewis, Buster Douglass, Danny Williams, The Brixton Bomber, and Kevin McBride, the fighting pride of Ireland. Tyson was battered in all six of these fights. Can he redeem himself and prove that he is at least a good HW, if not a great one, or is Jake Paul in the mix with the aforementioned guys, and just too good for Mike Tyson? Nash out - His Excellency

    Another useless attention-seeking thread.

          The WBC shouldn't do that...me thinks Tyson will call out the usyk fury if he ko Paul in dominating fashion...

          WBC should play the shadows we all know they want this scenario to play out, but they don't want to be perceived as wheeling a old man out for dollars neither

            They probably will though. I recall Tyson and Roy Jones Jr getting a belt each after their exhibition draw. Nash out - His Excellency

                Nash back in.....

                Its a fair call you make....but you forget that Tyson also escaped McNeeleys "cocoon of horror" and took down the mighty viking king Brian Neilsen....who at the time had only been defeated by one other...the ATG Diicky Ryan.

                    McNeeley's "Cocoon of horror" was such a scary experience that Nash has tried for so many years to wipe it from his memory out of fear, so yes, that is Tyson's one God-Tier victory, but for personal reasons of absolute horror, Nash has to refuse to mention it.
