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.
