From a few years ago. However, if Tyson comes in like this he will kill him if it’s truly real


I feel like people don’t know that Mike fought 4 years ago. Mike looked good going into that fight (as he does now in pictures and YouTube videos), but he fought an out of shape Roy Jones Jr in 2 minute rounds that ended in a draw. It was a sad display of a fight seeing two all time greats trying to hang on to some dignity and Tyson showed some bursts. But a young boxer with a 1/10 of Tyson’s skill would have beaten him that night.

Tyson is 4 years older now and not for the better. Conditioning will be a big advantage for Paul even though he can’t even dream of being as good as Tyson was and I think even more so working against Tyson though is the ability to be able to take a shot at his age. Old boxers just have so much working against them abs Tyson is a great grandpa in boxing years. I hope Mile knocks his arse out but I can see him getting beat, much less killing Paul.

Mike respected Roy as a boxer, it was an exhibition. It was fun to see the two greatest of my generation in the ring. Pound for pound Roy Jones Jr in his prime was the most elite technical boxer I ever saw. If the Tyson in the X videos shows up and decides he has to show something to the world, Paul will be destroyed. Tyson, like Jones, is a student of boxing. He still has speed and power at 57. If that bulldog mentality kicks in, Paul is in for a short night. Paul is going to realize he made a huge mistake if Tyson does not respect him.
