I'll def be rooting for Tyson

Having nothing to do with this match.... Tyson is one of the most overrated heavy weight champs of all time.    Name his best win. Michael Spinks? A light heavy weight coward who didn't even

Imagine paying for a ringside seat to this crap lol

For just 3 days of training for this fight he looks crazy fast and still hits hard as hell. One of the clips he knocked the hand pad off of his coach with a punch. If he can get his stamina up by fight time Jake won’t be able to dance around until he’s winded.

I'm a huge Iron Mike fan.  Too bad he let what's her face turn him against Cus D'Amato.  It all went to hell after that.  And I'll never be convinced he didn't throw the fight with Douglas to get out of the contract with Showtime.  PPV was and is where the money at.

Name his best win. Michael Spinks? A light heavy weight coward who didn't even try? 

 

4 times throughout his career Tyson faced a legit challenger. He lost all 4 times, was dominated in all 4 and got disqualified in one(ear biting). Douglas, who was in shape beat the shit out of him, Hollyfield bullied him and knocked him out. Lennox Lewis absolutely obligated him and destroyed him. 

 

Tyson was all hype. He had speed and power and would destroy weaker scared boxers in entertaining fashion. Against real contenders he was completely out classed and easily beaten. 

 

 

Yep, Tyson was fun to watch but there really wasn't a lot going on during that phase in HW div.  After the amazing years during Ali + Liston/Frazier/Foreman that rolled into Larry Holmes (who was kinda boring but an extremely skilled boxer, jab ya to death), Mike filled that excitement vacuum that got people watching again, but there wasn't a lot of quality in the ring.  Lennox Lewis was solid legit champion but again not a ton of solid contenders.  Peak Holmes or Lewis though vs Tyson?  Tyson loses most times unless works in a lucky uppercut early on.

 

Different eras so a bit apples and oranges, but Joe Frazier vs Tyson would have been a great fight, couple guys under 6, Frazier ability to take a ton of punishment and go the distance likely would have worn down Tyson by later rounds.  I'm betting TKO by Frazier in the 9th on the 2nd standing 8.

Teddy Atlas talks about the fight

 

 

He’s right about it being a way bigger risk for Paul than Tyson. If Paul wins everyone will say that he beat a man 30 years older than him so big whoop. If he loses he is a joke. Tyson won’t look bad if he loses because he’s old. And if he wins the entire world will celebrate him taking down Paul and ending the charade that he is a real boxer.

I agree with this. A Paul loss pretty much ends him. I watched Jake Paul lose to Tommy Fury recently and he looked pretty bad and his boxing skills very amateurish
