Tyson is  shell of his former self. He is old. Yes he can turn it on for a video for 15 seconds. Can Tyson fight a good journey man who has youth and endurance on his side?  I see Tyson gassing then getting tagged left and right. I doubt his reactions are still in tact.  Even his physique doesn't even look remotely close to how he looked. Tyson in retirement has gone on an alcohol and pot road. He says he has quit the alcohol finally but it's damage is done.  If Tyson doesn't win in a quick convincing manner it will elevate that journey man into something he's not. I just wish Jake would fight some current top five fighter in his weight class.

I too wish this fight weren't happening but unfortunately it's gonna generate a ton of dough.  For that, I'm happy for Mike and anyone on the undercard who benefits from it.  That being said, Jake should not be expected to fight a top 5 fighter yet.  After Tyson, I'd like to see him run it back with Tommy Fury.  If Jake wins there, than somebody in the top 20-25 would be a reasonable expectation.

Tyson Fury Reckons Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul ‘Pretty Even' Fight: ‘Who’s Not Intrigued?'

Not everybody is on board with Jake Paul's next fight, but Tyson Fury sure is.

After boxing YouTubers, UFC fighters, and pro boxers like Fury's brother, Tommy, Paul (9-1) now takes on an all-time great, who is far past his prime in Mike Tyson (50-6).

The announcement has gotten the attention of the world and concern emerges for Tyson as he will be 58 years old by the time he enters the ring against the much younger and faster Paul on July 20 in Dallas, TX.

As for WBC Heavyweight Champion Fury's thoughts on the controversial matchup, he sees a great opportunity for the sport to grow.

"I think it's fantastic for boxing," Fury told 'The Stomping Ground'. "You've got a legend in Mike Tyson. You've got a YouTube boxer [Jake Paul]. He has come into the game and blew it up and he's got millions of followers and millions of views and millions of eyes. Good, bad or indifferent. Some people love him, some people hate him. So, I think it's a really good spectacle for boxing. Brings a lot of people to the game."

Conor McGregor not alone in Mike Tyson concerns as Jake Paul accusation made

UFC superstar Conor McGregor ripped into the upcoming exhibition bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul - and Oscar De La Hoya has aired similar concerns.

Former world champion Oscar De La Hoya has criticised Jake Paul’s decision to fight Mike Tyson as he worries for the boxing icon amid concerns surrounding his age and health. Paul and Tyson are set to meet in a blockbuster exhibition bout this summer, fighting before 80,000 fans at AT&T Stadium as well as the millions due to tune into the event being streamed live on Netflix.

I just wish Jake would fight some current top five fighter in his weight class.

I Don't see it quite that bad.

I thought Tyson gave up drinking years ago when he lost all that weight and really started heavily smoking weed.

I would say that smoking weed would be problematic but he does still train boxing. He went 6 rounds with Roy Jones Jr a few years ago and wasn't completely gassed.

So, I see this fight being similar to the RJJ farce, there's probably a handshake agreement to pull their punches. It will go the distance and result in a draw. I don't follow Jake Paul. Ive seen some of his highlights.  He's not a terrible boxer. He's beaten guys who were professional fighters and even mma champions. The only boxers he actually fought were undersized and the one, Tommy Fury, actually beat him
 Tommy is a light heavyweight and Paul fights around 190 - 200 lbs, i think? His proportions make him look larger than he really is. Id guess Tyson is probably around 210 - 215. He doesn't have the same muscle as his youth, where he weighed around 220 -225 but he's still muscled.

As an older fighter it's fairly easy to look impressive in training.  Hitting the bag, hitting the pads, skipping rope etc... but the reflexes/reaction time is different,  joints are stiff, the punch resistance and overall shock absorption are totally different. Notice Mike isn't doing any actual sparing?

In summary:

It's hard to know how much Mike has left. He still trains but smokes weed and is 58 years old.

Paul isn't great but he also isn't an entirely bad boxer either. He may actually be smaller than Mike.

In order to continue for each to make money/save face, expect a scripted waltz with manufactured drama and an amenable result for both.

That is not true it was an exhibition between two guys who respected each other. Tyson and JP do not respect each other. JP wants to get a highlight KO on Mike and Mike knows it. His only defense is to KO JP. The big difference is Tyson mindset he didnt want to be fighting his last couple real fights. He wasn't having fun against Roy. Now he is having fun and he wants to fight that is a big problem for JP.

In the 80's he was able to accomplish an awful lot in a relatively short few years. His knockouts of Berbick, Holmes, Spinks, alone are really incredible if you think about it. Throw in Tubbs and Bruno , he had one hell of a run. Smith and Tucker were odd fights but the fact is both of those guys were affraid to fight and both clinched so much that the fights weren't that great. Boring distance fights then, late in the fight when Mike was frustrated, both manged to stun Mike, raising a lot of questions. The 80's were enough to get mike in the IBHOF.

90's Mike, not so much. He looked great physically huge, muscular and -at times ripped- but he fought very low level guys when he came out of prison. He had a massive entourage and I think the plan was not to take massive risks and just try to make a lot of money. McNeely, Mathis Jr. Seldon (joke) Bruno II (only truly good win of his 90's post prison comeback) gets exposed by Holyfield. Orlin Norris and Golota were actually good wins but they are in the record books as NC's, after that he was done. Botha was beating him, Nielsen gave him trouble, Eitienne basically laid down, Francis and Savarese were pushovers  then Lennox, williams and McBride all mauled him. He was still dangerous but I don't think he was training really hard at that point in his career.

Anyway.

I actually think the Paul Tyson thing is serious. Saw Tyson interview the other day. Say what you want, the man cannot lie. He's brutally honest. He's not acting. I still think his age is too much to overcome.

Who wins a legitimate (non-scripted) Tyson Paul fight?

They made it 2 minute rounds instead of 3 minutes so he wont gas

and yet you did 2 minute rounds and gassed.

what gives 'thoroughbred'.



NOTICE he hasn't denied by version of events for the end of the Clegg fight.

Clegg was out to face it on 52 seconds
Brian still sat down 1 minute 21
ref calls it off after speaking to Brian twice on 1.25 after last round
Brian gets up slowly Clegg has hand raised
Brian looks exhausted and des[ondent but makes no appeal

You're doing well tonight no spelling mistakes, must be your first bottle 😉

I'm playing chess while you play checkers.  You are not even remotely close to my level in anything what so ever.

In the 80's he was able to accomplish an awful lot in a relatively short few years. His knockouts of Berbick, Holmes, Spinks, alone are really incredible if you think about it. Throw in Tubbs and Bruno , he had one hell of a run. Smith and Tucker were odd fights but the fact is both of those guys were affraid to fight and both clinched so much that the fights weren't that great. Boring distance fights then, late in the fight when Mike was frustrated, both manged to stun Mike, raising a lot of questions. The 80's were enough to get mike in the IBHOF.

90's Mike, not so much. He looked great physically huge, muscular and -at times ripped- but he fought very low level guys when he came out of prison. He had a massive entourage and I think the plan was not to take massive risks and just try to make a lot of money. McNeely, Mathis Jr. Seldon (joke) Bruno II (only truly good win of his 90's post prison comeback) gets exposed by Holyfield. Orlin Norris and Golota were actually good wins but they are in the record books as NC's, after that he was done. Botha was beating him, Nielsen gave him trouble, Eitienne basically laid down, Francis and Savarese were pushovers  then Lennox, williams and McBride all mauled him. He was still dangerous but I don't think he was training really hard at that point in his career.

Anyway.

I actually think the Paul Tyson thing is serious. Saw Tyson interview the other day. Say what you want, the man cannot lie. He's brutally honest. He's not acting. I still think his age is too much to overcome.

Who wins a legitimate (non-scripted) Tyson Paul fight?

I don’t think it’s going to be a legitimate fight. They’re just cashing in on the attention. I can’t stand Jake Paul, but realistically, he’d probably win if it were a real match. Besides Tyson’s age (58!), decades of layoffs, drugs, and a retirement mindset take their toll. In contrast, a 50-year-old Bernard Hopkins, still actively training, would’ve had a better shot. And a 48-year-old Foreman (his age in his last fight) would’ve demolished Paul.

Fortress has no idea.

But certainly I want Tyson to cave that tool’s face.

I do imagine this is a very real possibility if he can keep precise and aggressive in the early rounds.

Go, Mike!

We can all see who the hardest puncher is, the better mover, the most aggressive and the natural born fighter but is it enough against youth.
If it's not scripted I want tyson to batter him of course but I think endurance will let him down against Paul

Check out Mike's recent interviews. He's not joking at all. He seems like his old violent self.

Said "im going in to hurt this man"
"If I win, ill be a boxing immortal", "if I lose badly enough and die in the ring, ill be a boxing immortal" or words to similar effect.

You can see when he was fighting in the early -mid 2000's, he wasn't training. He was huge but not in condition. His genetics are to be big, with big muscles and fat. And you can see against Lewis, Williams etc he was hardly in shape, he barely tried. Came out fought hard for about 2 and 1/2 rounds and just took a beating. He didn't care.

For the past ten years or so he's been in relatively decent shape doing his weed bullshit but you can see his love for the sport is still very strong. I believe he's been training harder for the past 5 or 6 years than in the last 5 or 6 years of his career..

That said- the training clips are just snippets,  not even 30 second snippets but like 5 second snippets.  He's sparring but his sparring partners aren't really working hard. They're just lying on the ropes absorbing punishment.

This is so weird. 58 year old legend, former baddest man on the planet.

Vs a social media influencer who is a boxing dilletante, can fight a little bit but would be a D level fighter if he fought professionally without all the money to throw at top notch training and coaching.
