57 year old Mike Tyson is not the Mike Tyson.

if the Mike that is in the X vidoes show up, that looks like the Mike pre Buster Douglas in how he moves and throws punches. Mike looks like he still has a lot of speed and power; more than enough to handle an amateur like Paul; I just wonder if he has the stamina.

You cannot seriously think that those videos make him look like pre Buster Douglas Mike I watched numerous of the training videos last night and although he looks better than 99% of other 57 year old's, he's slowed down a ton. It's insane to think that he is anything even remotely close to the old Mike. That was clear 4 years ago and Jones Jr. I am assuming this fight will be 3 minute rounds which won't help Mike.

Even though he'll be in good shape, he won't have the stamina Paul will have, His punch isn't the knockout punch that you and I remember so well, and like I said before, I think most importantly, he's not going to be able to take punches like he used to. A hard arse punch to the body at 57 is a lot different than it is when you're in your 20's.

If you talking about his very last fight in 2005.

Mike that cannot bob and weave is not Mike Tyson. Same type thing happened to Paq when he fought Mayweather. Paul has a puncher's chance. But as I said in my previous post, if the Mike that is in the X vidoes show up, that looks like the Mike pre Buster Douglas in how he moves and throws punches. Mike looks like he still has a lot of speed and power; more than enough to handle an amateur like Paul; I just wonder if he has the stamina.

I am not buying the “Mike was hurt” as the reason he got his butt kicked in 2005. Mike lost by KO to an average boxer in 2004 too. He clearly was a shell of his former self 19 years ago and did the smart thing and retired. Boxing is the worst sport to compete in what you start to lose your skills. Look at Roy Jones. How many times did he get knocked out by average boxers when he was only a few years past his prime.

Tyson is going to end up like Ali. He is just too old. Jake Paul will knock him out or stop him in the later rounds.
