What’s everyone thinking about this?


I would like to see Mike Tyson from the 80's absolutely destroy Paul in R1 or R2. If the fight goes longer than 2 rounds, Tyson will lose.

Mike Tyson is so unpredictable. He's an apex predator who can flip a switch and become a very very dangerous and unpredictable person. I don't believe he can be "rigged". I would like to believe he respects boxing too much to taint it like that.

Will it be entertaining or more of a train wreck?

back to my first statement. It will be entertaining if Tyson absolutely wrecks Paul. It will be a train wreck if Paul somehow wins.

lol probably says something about it being rigged.

I can't think of a bigger red flag than not being able to bet on it

I think Jake Paul is going to beat the shite out of him.

idk, how would one even go about handicapping a fight with a semi-pro boxer (influencer) and a 58 year old who hasn't stepped in the ring for a professional fight in almost 20 years?

Draw..... everyone wins and it keeps the door open for a rematch if Tyson needs another retirement pay day

I remember when Evander got knocked out at 58 and he was in really good shape as well it was very sad

Hopefully this doesn’t happen to Mike

True, but so is Paul. Paul is a douche but the guy is a physical specimen as well that knows how to fight

I don't know but my gut tells me Mike wouldn't agree to take a dive, and would never not try to knock someone out.

Besides the paycheck, which is obviously what he is all about. This is absolutely a lose-lose matchup for Logan.

If he loses, then he's a fraud because he lost to a retired boxer who is almost 60. If he wins, congrats, you managed to barely beat a 60 year old man in a clearly rigged fight.

There's no avenue where he comes out of this with more respect.

I think Jake boxes and moves around for the first 3-4 rounds until Tyson is gassed, and then unloads in the later rounds and wins either by KO or decision. That said it wouldn't surprise me to see a draw to set up a rematch.

Those expecting a Tyson KO are gonna be disappointed

One thing I will give Paul credit for, beating a retired 60yr Tyson would hold a lot more weight than all of his previous wins combined.

Tyson is old as hell and was shot to bits 20 years ago.

Jake Paul is absolute garbage and couldn't even beat Tommy Fury who is mediocre at best.

This whole thing is just dumb.

he's an influencer. I really don't think he actually cares about being taken seriously as a boxer. He only cares about the engagement he creates by fighting who he fights. In that regard, it's a win-win because this will be a massive payday for him

I'm going with Tyson. He's not in his prime but I don't think he needs to be in order to beat Paul.


Not in his prime was 20 years ago. I'm worried for his health. In no sane world should this fight have been sanctioned and shame on all the people gassing up Tyson to get back in the ring.
