Agreed.

Holyfield was 58 vs Belfort. His career ended 10 years before on the back of a few wins but atleast 10 years past his prime. Probably back on the juice, as he was during his career.

Tyson is 58 vs Paul. His career ended 19 years ago on the back of a few embarrassing losses with his chin gone and about 10 years past his prime. Probably back on the juice, as he was during his career. Tyson has also struggled with his health recently.

Belfort is a known PED-cheat. He was 44 years old and well past his MMA prime having suffered a number of embarrassing knockout losses. His strengths were diverse in MMA but he absolutely never a true boxer. He also bulked up to 205 lbs.

Paul is clearly on PEDs. He is 27 and in his athletic prime. He's never been knocked down and has exclusively trained in boxing for a number of years now. He will likely bulk up by about 10 lbs.

Holyfield lasted under 2 minutes vs Belfort dropping him multiple times. Embarrassing to watch. Tyson has two haymakers in him before Paul has an opportunity to KO him with any punch he chooses.

I still suspect Paul will let Tyson's corner pull him out. Paul will carry him until the end of a few rounds and it is then on the corner to do the job. The fans, or those in attendance because I don't think they're boxing fans, will hopefully feel like they've been ripped off.

Tyson is 30 fkin years past his prime. If he can beat Paul i would love it, but nobody should be surprised if he cannot.

Many people think Tyson will KO him easily.

Exactly, Tyson's prime was around 1988 which was 36 years ago! He was arguably finished as a top HW by 1996 when he lost to Holyfield and that was still 28 years ago, it was a steady decline after that.

Why were weights withheld from the public?

They never said Paul's weight or Tyson's weight.

Sounds like an "all bets are off" situation after Tyson got angry at that reporter and said, "I'm not going to lose."

Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all

Edit: JP 227.2 and Tyson 228.4

Paul by KO

nah that's what should happen, mike waaay too far past it. remember holyfield-belfort

Holyfield was under the impression it was an exhibition sparring session. They bamboozled him

60 year old man vs guy who lost to Tommy Fury. Imagine watching this. Nothing intriguing about it at all.

Yep just seen a video now, not sure why the other numbers were being posted

JP 227.2
Tyson 228.4

Why are people online discussing this like it's gonna be an actual fight lol?

It'll be faker than WWE. Pitter-patter shots for most of the rounds, a few half-decent but pulled ones to spice up the chair moisturizers in attendance until it's over with the fight being declared to whoever negotiated the "win" in the buildup.

Well,

I guess it's..

Fight Night!!

The slap confirmed it, a light cheek push

Tyson is a sexual deviant scumbag, I do not have this infallible love for him like so many do, oh he's made himself at peace, devout Muslim, hang on, why are you at an IDF Fundrsiser??
"Uh oh I dunno mushrooms and shit, they just have tricked me"

What about the one two years before that??

What about when you threatened to rPe a female reporter for "talking out of turn", stories in your book of you enjoying bullying people, your inside game was overrated because of you could spoil in any way you could delay him, if Jake Paul Lay's out Tyson, I won't be shedding any tears, the most overromanticised fighter EVER, by a Lightyear!!!!

Why shouldn’t Mike, as a Muslim, attend an IDF fundraiser ?

The IDF’s remit is to defend the civilians of a progressive liberal democracy - a worthy cause for any celebrity to raise funds for

Most unlikely outcome by me is paul on pts. Like it's well well well past his best shadow of himself, but formerly world class, he was world class against 27yr old.....maybe area level? Journeyman

Tyson did peak young but I think it was more psychological him falling off, he had speed but went from thoughtful educated pressure to pure headhunting

Draw seems a decent bet. If nether guy can finish the other with 14oz gloves, I wouldn't be surprised if the judges lean toward a draw even if it's more one way.

Every mike Tyson training clip is a bunch of 3 second combos spliced together. I feel like there is zero chance Mike can last the distance as he will just gas horrifically.

He is old, explosive, his upper body is huge compared to his lower body now ( a big difference from in his prime), perfect combo to gas.

I personally think he will get chinned befor he even has time to gas, but if he dosent he will run out of steam very quick, even with 2 min rounds.
