Mike Tyson has been spotted walking with a cane in public, even years after the initial concern he would sometimes us a wheelchair/cane-- it was dismissed originally as a temporary health concern, but its been 2 years now.

He's not some kind of death machine-- he's a broken down shadow who has had his already not bright bulb dimmed by things like drug use, hard living, prison, and other choices that have not left him in a fighting trim.

If Paul can't dance around him for however many rounds, that says a lot more about how appalling Paul is, than anything else.

This will be a sad public display of the decline of a once fearsome fighter-- like watching Secretariat get walked into a glue factory.

The second time Ive seen this. Are they really wearing headgear in this fight?

You are right with them being real fights, but they were real imitation fights. The only real boxer he fought, he lost to being fury. Who is not an exceptional fighter. He beat some old MMA guys, he weren't skilled in boxing. Paul would get embarrassed by Canelo.

With that being said I am real on the fence with this one. They are trying to get this sanctioned as a real boxing match, which is interesting. I think Tyson wants to knock him out. But he's almost 60. Dude moves incredible still I wanna see it

If he turns on the crazy Tyson from years ago, it only takes one punch. If he smokes a bunch of weed before the fight and loves everyone it'll be a hug fest.

There is no sum of money on the planet that could convince me to fight Mike Tyson

They are N O T using head gear.


And, a 57 year old Tyson still hits harder than most humans alive.

As probably the biggest boxing fan on this site, I give major props to Paul for taking this fight. The kid has legit worked his arse off to get better at it, and he has. He's only had TEN fights. How did most boxers not named Lomachenko look in their 10th pro fight?

I was starting to think he was going the serious boxer route, untl he announced the Tyson fight.

He was starting to fight tomato can "professional" boxers and looked like he would be escalating with each fight. Fighting a 60 year old former champ is just a money grab.

You're forgetting one important thing, most real boxers do actually fight real boxers from the start of their careers, not, old ex-fighters and other combat sportsmen making their boxing debut with no real boxing background.

Just about all fighters that get started in their boxing career do so after a bunch of amateur fights and turning pro.

Why would anyone pay to watch a patty-cake sparring session?
