Jake Paul is going to win. Regardless of how good Mike Tyson was, he’s still up there in Age. Did you see what happened to Evander vs belfort? Age plays a part here.
I would LOVE to see Tyson from the 80s. The hungry Tyson that was viscous. I’d love to see that intimidating stare down he use to give . Like a predator looking at prey. Then watch him knock him out in under a minute.
Yup was just talking about this. I wanna see Tyson knock him out quick. I’m a Tyson fan big Time. Who isn’t
OMFG!!!! This is going to be hilarious!!!!
Should be interesting
@JakeKO @pingree24 @scoobydoo @Drexyl big fight between Joshua and big Francis tomorrow I believe. Saudis said something about Saturday was already booked. And I think Parker, who beat Wilder will be fighting on that card too.
I’ll be watching
I’d honestly like to see Wilder get his shit together for one last go…
I like Wilder, especially now
The second Wilder vs Fury fight was probably the first boxing match I had watched live in many years. I wanted to see Deontay beat that big dude up.
Yea man all 3 fights were good in my opinion. But I knew if Fury trained hard and was serious, Wilder wasn't going to beat him. Now right now I think Fury might be going down hill and close to retiring. For a big guy that dude can box and move around.
Ya know for some odd reason he never looked like he mastered the fundamentals of boxing. You gotta watch him closely. I never understood what that was about but he has that knockout power. I think he probably relied on that a little too much though and not his boxing fundamentals. I still wish him the best because he's matured and just seems like a good guy that doesn't get involved in boxing politics. He'll fight anymore, unlike alot of boxers today....um Canelo Alvarez
Probably a load of hyped up bullshit to make some money, he may of been the man back in the day but against a young man in his prime no way.
I watched that Tyson Fury match against Francis Ngannou on the Netflix Documentary, what was all that about lol - Talk about politics lol
I’m 48, but I’ve fought competitively, one month of specialized training and I’d get in the ring with Jake Paul, now Mike Tyson? I’d run away.

Man please folks would possibly be brain dead if Tyson hit them with a bare fist. So yeah I'm definitely with you on that. The last thing to go is a boxer's power and Tyson always had that. Of course his reflexes, footwork, speed aren't the same but from seeing his last fight he still has some good footwork that Cus taught him and of course he broke Roy Jones's rib. Roy is a legend and if he says Tyson is still dangerous I'd take his word. Now is he that ferocious 20 year old..no but clearly he still has a drop or two left in the tank. What you think Drex?
I believe I read somewhere that Mike has had a trainer still for all these years to stay in shape.
He knows the importance of a trainer. You can video yourself or whatever the fuck, you’re not going to see what others see. So, you hire a pro. It’s in a way what we do here, we may be smart in one thing, but lack in another. Or there’s simply a guy that’s been around for 137 years @KMC, but we help each other out, give each other advice and lift each other up. Anyway, if that switch gets turned on it could be Paul’s last fight. Mike Tyson ENDED professional boxers careers, fucked up their vertebrae, bad concussion… and Jake Paul’s car is not in the same parking lot as those guys.
You can't mention his old trainer without Tyson crying. His name was Cus D'mato. He basically broke Tyson down and built him up into a machine. And besides that Tyson has NEVER been all there mentally. He acts like he's civilized but most folks can see through that. I'm telling yall lol. @scoobydoo @Drexyl
I met a cop that arrested him. He was still a teenager, but was working up the ranks. I almost feel like I shouldn’t be telling this story, but the guy that arrested him is a solid guy. Mike was still getting into street fights working up to the junior olympics. He’s just programmed differently than others, shit we all are. So many of us never realize our gift and I do believe we all have one. Mike Tyson was just born different, he’s living and soft, but a killer and hard at the same time.
I wonder if that's the same cop I saw an interview on. He referred Tyson to either Cus or a boxing gym, I can't remember. At 12 dude was 195 pounds! Look this is all I'm saying....Tyson had the potential to be the greatest boxer of ALL time and that's something he's gotta live with cause he blew it. We can sit up and blame Don King, Robin Givens or whatever but man he had the potential and messed it off as soon as Cus died. Cus had him laser focused, in his words he would of died for Cus. I'm just proud that I got to witness a kid from the ghetto..or "sewage" according to Tyson, get out and make a name for himself and especially now. He was was a sight to be seen in his prime. Even the late great Muhammad Ali said he would of had a hard time beating Mike. Is he the same as he was back then..no but he's still crazy and still has power.....2 dangerous assets to have.
No way I can remember his name, it was through work. White guy, older than me and this was about 22ish years ago. Average build, salt and pepper but a full head of hair, mustache. Accent was more Boston than New York, but both hurt my ears so I immediately wish someone else was talking to me. “Hay, any of yous know weih I paaked my cah? Fuck, it’s like nails on a chalkboard
Haha that accent. I can imagine hearing that in my head. But yea we're talking about the same guy. The way you described him is what I remember..yep mustache and all.
He was mid teen at the time when the guy arrested him, 15ish, and you’re 100% on, was a full grown man. I’ll say doing what I’ve done, and I’m not passing judgement, if you look at pics over time of the champ, you can see EXACTLY when he got on gear. It was blatantly obvious.
So you think Tyson was on gear? I've head that before but I just can't see that. Now when he bit Holyfield's ear he was on something or..maybe crazy kicked in a bit
Lol. I remember that fight. He was pissed that Evander kept grabbing ahold of him. He took care of it.
Holyfield...."He bit maaa ear!!!"
That doesn't surprise me. Now father time will catch up to everyone but there are certain guys that it takes longer to affect..google Bernard Hopkins. Was world champ at 48 years old. Now of course guys aren't the same as when they're younger but to be champ at that age you must have something left in the tank.
Your new avatar looks like Paul Dillet, that’s one guy that never got the credit he deserved and got out of the sport before it ruined him. Part French, my people lol
I think it’ll start off soft, but after Paul lands a few good ones, and he will, that switch in Tyson’s head turns to on. Very hard, very fast, three piece combo and it’s over. Three piece with a side of fries.
Exactly...lol bottom line is if Roy Jones, Who is in top 10 for best fighters of all time says Mike is dangers..then I'll take his word over some regular Joe Shmoe's opinion lol. So yea you may be right, Paul will land but ....He'll try and hit and run like Roy Jones but eventually gotta get close to him in order to engage. Thing is Tyson and both Paul brothers are good friends.
Reminiscing in what Tyson 'was' and what he is now are 2 totally different things. We'll make a bet if the fight ever happens between friends bro
We’ll discuss specifics, bet is definitely on. I’ll almost feel bad for making it. It’s Iron Fucking Mike Tyson!
Bro you already know how easy it is for us to do - Bank on working a few days overtime that week LMAO
I’m out of likes, unfortunately I’m salaried lol, I haven’t seen overtime for years…
Just write a comment and tag a load of members to the bottom of it bro, that seems to be the in thing to generate karma atm Lol
Should probably be brought to the Mods attention that actually.
@manateeswimmer , used to talk to that guy a lot, was a very very solid guy, hope he’s doing well these days.
+1 lol
I'd rather get in the ring with Tyson than Jake Paul tbh, Tyson is an old man now. Age will always win in most fitness and strength based sports unfortunately.
“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Mike Tyson
Tyson still hits hard.
In his last fight a few years ago against Roy Jones, he broke Roy's rib. Watch the post fight interview.
I don't know man, is this 100% true? Nowadays you just can't trust when boxing announces something.
It's being reported on several news outlets.
I just read that now. Looks like it's official. It's just lately boxing has had so many rumors of this person is suppose to face that person lol...but Joshua is fighting Friday!
