OT: Mike Tyson

[Irishjohn68]

Back in the day I loved going to fight parties to watch Tyson beat the living snot out of other boxers. Well this summer a 58 year old Iron Mike is going to climb into the ring to fight some guy named Paul. Anyone else intrigued by this? Will Tyson get beaten or will he kick some ass?

 

[Golson5]

This is a wild fight. I have no clue how it will turn out but I'll watch

If Tyson is in condition, I’ll take him,

If not, I’ll take Jake

The video shows Tyson looks really good IMO.

Question, how much money would it take you (not you but anyone) to get in the ring with Tyson? And how long would anyone last?

 

[Irish_Mutt]

This is really interesting. I don't watch much boxing but I keep up with it enough that I hope Tyson KO's Paul. Would love to see the YouTuber get brought back to reality.

He's not just a Youtuber anymore. He's put in a lot of work and he's a quality boxer

He should be commended for the improvement he's made and the work he's put in to get to this point

Sounds like a cheesy money spinner.

Jake Paul is an interesting cat.
Mostly a youtube life self promoter with his brother who got serious about the fight game not to long ago.
He's started off as a laughing stock to where even Joe Rogan said he is a serious fighter.
Tyson looks great for 58 and is still fast.
Should be really interesting

 

[BaldyNd]

He’s 58, there’s no way he wins lol. These fights never end well for the old guys.

IDK man. Tyson looks really good. Not saying he will win but I wouldn’t bet against him either. I’m intrigued but this fight.

He hasn't looked really good in a real fight in over 20 years

 

[burmafrd1943]

At his peak Tyson was a monster

I will never forget the fight with Michael Spinks
the only time I have seen a fighter scared in the ring; he was looking for a place to fall the minute Tyson hit him the first time

 

[tbone3114]

If Jake Paul's measurable are still the same.. 6'1".. 200lbs... Tyson will knock him out... yes just my opinion... but if Tyson connects with one of his signature thumps.. Jake will lose...

He's made a killing with this Prime drink. Him & his brother live in Dorado Puerto Rico. I was in San Juan & saw some flashy cars by the Vanderbilt Hotel. Bel Hop said that was the Paul entourage. I would take Tyson over Paul

 

[Irishjohn68]

Ok

Do you guys somehow think fighters are immune to Father Time? It would be like Michael Jordan trying to play one on one vs a 27 year old G league player in 2024. You think MJ would have any shot in that? Yes Tyson still trains and is in shape and can look like a beast in sparring videos. He might have only lost a little power but probably has about 50% of the hand speed he had in his prime. He has no shot.

So you’re betting on Jake ?

Jake isn't involved with Prime

 

[Patrirish]

Vegas has Tyson as the underdog

It’s not like Tyson is fighting the current heavyweight champion of the world. Sure if he was doing that he’d lose I’m sure. But is this Jake Paul a legitimate contender? I don’t know. He sure does not look like a real candidate.

He would get killed against a real heavyweight and it wouldnt be sanctioned

Jake is a novice boxer but he's getting better and has a very good chance of beating Mike. Hes not a heavyweight. Hes a cruiserweight

I know. That’s what I said about fighting a real heavyweight. Thanks for repeating what I already said.

No. You said he would lose. I said he would get killed.

Try understanding before you reply with a cocky response

Foreman won a title at 48 years old. against real competition, #1 ranked heavyweights. Jake Paul is ranked 112th in the world, and 14th in the USA. Tyson absolutely has a shot, and a very good one.

You can’t be serious? Why oh why are you such an asshole?

I remember him getting a punch off and knocking that guy out. But who was the fighter?

Foreman won that title at 45, not 48. Tyson will be 58 for his fight. That is a 13 year difference

Tyson has a shot because Paul isnt a top level fighter. But he also has the chance of getting knocked out cold

 

[Golson5]

I remember him getting a punch off and knocking that guy out. But who was the fighter?

Michael Moorer. Good fighter

 

[Golson5]

You were the asshole... you tried being cocky but you didnt even understand what I wrote

Dont point the finger when it's on you

Stop crying. You acted cocky and now you want to cry. Just shut up and move on. Little baby

Sorry let me clarify, he successfully defended his title at 48.

If it's the same fight you are thinking it was Lou Savarese and Foreman successfully defended the WBU title. 1997

The fight where he initially won the title at 45 was against Moorer

 

[Golson5]

Sorry let me clarify, he successfully defended his title at 48.

Thats inaccurate. He was stripped of his title right after the Moorer fight because he wouldnt face Tony Tucker. He didnt have a good win after the Moorer fight

The WBU title was a paper title and not a real Championship

IBF, WBC, WBO and WBA are the real Championship belts

It was a title. You aren't bright are you.

Yeah it's a joke title. Not a real Champion. I follow boxing, do you?

That title was created in 1995 and is no longer even a title after 2009.

It's a paper title. They have a lot of those in boxing. It's all about the money. But it's not a real title.

And Savarese was a bum.

George Foreman was an all time great but he was not a title holder when he was 48. He gave it up at 45 and never fought again for a Title

You are not bright. Another cocky response when you don't know shit about the subject matter

I didn't know he live in PR
No surprise
Their drinks are everywhere.
They have a following

Judging started becoming blatant at some point, but when Ramirez was called the winner against Whitaker was it for me.
Whitaker without a doubt won the fight

Whitaker also got screwed against Chavez. Whitaker won that fight for sure. Judging in boxing is awful and corupt
