Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: Gods Of War Revived Me For Jones, My Skills Are Good Enough

I STRONGLY Disagree with you about a Top 200 rated Heavyweight could “LEVEL” Mike Tyson today. Have you seen how poor Fighters ranked that low in today’s heavyweight division are? I reckon mike could KO wilder tbh with you. EDIT: just to name a couple Guys mike would handily beat in my opinion::
Eric Molina
Johan duhaupas
Robert Helenius
David price
Dave Allen (Just retired)
That’s just 5 and I haven’t even bothered to check where they was ranked but pretty sure it be in the top 100 or 200.

OK a couple of you guys are on crack, he couldn't beat Kevin McBride 15 years ago but he's going to beat those guys today, you are seriously deluded if you belive that crap.

I guess McBride and Danny Williams would be the top 2 with EASE today then

Alot of the guys on here talking bad about Tyson have probably never been in the gym much less laced up gloves. What people dont understand is muscle memory is a real thing. Mike Tyson put on boxing gloves everyday for a huge portion of his life and age cant erase that. Combined with proper diet and exercise Mike Tyson is a dangerous man. I agree with a top 5 heavyweight too. The division really isnt that deep and all the top guys have fundamental flaws honestly.

I've been in the ring. Many, many times. Preparing for an MMA fight which will place the moment Covid ends.

Tyson has about 2% chance of winning this bout and the fact he is a favourite is testament to just how much of a fringe sport boxing has become. Tons and tons of spectators and very few competitors. Ring rust is one of the most deblitating things to happen to a fighter. I've taken time off and come back struggling against relative novices, against an ATG like RJJ is a death knell. He legs are shot but he still has far more recent experience, and winning experience too. Tyson's last time in the ring was in ****ing 2005 and he threw in the towel. And that was coming off of a loss too. Tyson, as much as I love him, is no RJJ/Wilder/Mayweather. He doesn't possess any kind of freak athletic ability...he was a hyper disciplined fighting machine in his prime but that prime is gone. In fact, his peekaboo style and constant head movement is a challenge to replicate at old age. He'll gas quick...and Tysons a guy not exactly favoured for having a gas tank.

RJJ can pretty much cruise into a decision victory here.

Its a reason fighters in their 50s are retired. Muscle memory isnt a thing after 15 yrs

I think the division is very deep but I also know how good Mike is . I’m under no illusions that Mike would have to defeat even taller more elite boxers in general then he had to but you just don’t know with Mike ? As you stated a motivated Mike is another animal.

My guess is you will delete this fake account when Mike wins easy . Ha

Interesting find! That I didn't know. Although I have a high IQ, I really wish I had a thick skull like Tyson, lol...or maybe I do, not sure...at least in case I hit my head on something! Glad I didn't box!

I boxed in the army was never knocked out but stunned ,I’m sure I have a thin skull though I get stunned easily . I was one of the better fighters but not great . I wouldn’t want to be in the ring with anyone half of Mike .

I love RJJ but Tyson is coming to starch him. If they were tested VADA, RJJ all day.

[BobbyConquer]

This is all set up for Mike to get a big KO and he’s juiced to the freaking gills. That’s the only reason this is an “exhibition”...it has nothing to do with charity. He knows if he gets a big KO he’ll make
$15 million any way he wants in 2021, be it endorsements, selling his weed, another fight, whatever. But he’s never been honest about his steroid use and just look at him now...there’s a reason it doesn’t make sense how ripped he is at his age.

Now, granted, RJJ is no angel either but he hasn’t been on a hard juice routine for 6+ months...he took this on short notice but then the fight got pushed out even farther and the rounds shortened which tells you the organizers/Tyson wanted even more time to guarantee the big KO.

You guys are absolutely insane! Tyson was completely washed 15 years ago and has been abusing his body ever since. He will be tired after 30 seconds and wouldn't even beat journeymen in 2020.
