100% Mike Tyson. He will need to finish him quickly though as I don’t think he could do more than a couple of rounds at what we remember to be Tyson pace.

He is a physical freak and I think he has his head in the game again. The way he looks is ridiculous and there is no way that Jake Paul isn’t intimidated.

Jake Paul can fight but Tyson in his prime was one of the scariest boxers I’ve ever seen. Lennox Lewis has a better record and was a force of his own but early Tyson was just a savage.

I’m really looking forward to seeing some old Tyson sparkle.

Rigged fight, it'll be Jake Paul on points and all the bookies already have that pegged.

Mike ain't never gonna take a knee for that fool, and at 60 years old he'll be gassed by round 3 anyway.

As someone said, the best you can hope for is Jake getting a big hit, and old Iron Mike coming to the forefront then going off script. Full ear-biting savage.

It’s a ridiculous fight and shouldn’t be happening imo but Jake Paul will win.

Tyson quit in his last fight nearly 19 years ago. He’ll still have a lot of his power and hand speed but his punch resistance will be all but gone. It’s 8 x 2min rounds so the pace will be quick and he hasn’t got the legs or the cardio, a 58 year old man who smokes a lot of weed is going to struggle in the ring.

He’d knock out any 58 year old in the world but against a 27 year old with 5 years full time training, nah. He still has a puncher’s chance and I would LOVE to see him put Jake Paul into the front row but I don’t see it happening.

I don’t think we’ll ever see another points defeat for Paul tbh.

I’m hoping Tyson gets a good hook and sparks him early.

I think we’re all hoping for that. It’s his only chance but it’s very possible.

Some of his training videos look sped up, his speed and power is crazy.

I’m not convinced the fight delay was legitimate and Tyson needed more conditioning.

One interesting thing is that Mike Perry said that he was never piss tested for his fight with paul.

If Tyson’s been on the Juice, all bets are off :lol:

I think the big gloves have nobbled Mikes chances of knocking him out early but I'll watch and hope.

Who’s gonna watch it? Looks like the main fight will be about 4am

I think that Tyson has the speed and power to destroy Paul, but he doesn’t have the stamina to last to the end. Here’s praying for a killer hook that will KO Paul in first couple of rounds 🤞

As Frankie Boyle recently tweeted, it's a sad indictment on the state of the world where all we've got to look forward to is Mike Tyson beating a YouTuber to death.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

4am is annoyingly late. I could be closing a deal and still up at that time so we'll see :lol:

Tyson definitely has the power still. Its going to be an interesting freak show...

Watching videos prior to the fight, Tyson has got his psycho unflinching thousand-yard stare back and he looks viscious in the ring. Paul looks like a clown. I swear Tyson will destroy him, he’s a natural born fighter, while Paul is just a dude who has learned how to fight.

Also, we really don’t know how well Paul can take a punch, he’s not been hit very much, or very hard.

He does have a very punchable face, so Tyson will hopefully at least do us all a solid and clock the smug little shit a few times.

Hopefully Mike gets him good but he said he was smoking pot for 20 years so :?
How about not having a sig at all?
