I can see that. I just can call it a win for Paul. The guy can say he beat Tyson but we all know he didn’t really beat the real Tyson. If that makes sense.
Paul won against an old man who signed a contract not to hit back

some old guys are tough

Hagler/Hamsho 1....Hagler was the best fighter that I ever saw...Hamsho was one of the toughest.
Marvelous is probably my ATF. I was watching round 1 vs the Hitman a few weeks ago.

Marvelous slowed down after fighting Mugabi. I've seen videos of Mugabi sparring and he's huge (not in height but body density). Not sure how he even boiled down to 160 lbs!

if Jake Paul fights a 20 year-old Tyson, I think Jake Paul would be swinging from the chandeliers of the arena after a Tyson uppercut. I think everyone knows this.

No question. In his prime you can argue that Tyson was the most feared boxer in history. He was like a pit bull in the ring.

I watched that fight last night it was horrible. Tyson looked like he had rubber legs. I actually think Paul purposefully took it easy on him.

It’s hard to argue, especially the intimidation factor and winning a fight before it even started. Pretty similar to Sonny Liston. People always talk about Mike Tyson and his intimidation factor being diminished after Evander Holyfield started pushing him back, exposing him as a non-bully. I personally think things fell apart for him the day Don King persuaded him to fire his entire training staff, most notably, Kevin Rooney. The peekaboo style quick movement was never the same way again and never developed any further once Kevin Rooney was gone.

Will Jake Paul challenge Lennox Lewis next? Unlike Tyson, LL understood the value of money, he has homes in London and Toronto.

Is it wrong of me to want Jake Paul turned into road kill. Riddick Bowe never wanted to fight him a second time.

Lennox Lewis's early professional losses were due to hubris and under-developed legs. Once he added muscle to them, he never lost another fight.

When LL Faced Mike Tyson, I actually felt sorry for Iron Mike.

Rogan at his best.

How sad is heavyweight boxing? Too many belts, too many titles, too much corruption and not enough incentive for people to get involved anymore. Now it’s all UFC that has taken over. Sometimes I wish I was alive and able to digest being a boxing fan in the 70s leading into the 80s and then of course the 80s leading into the 90s. The heavyweight boxing division is so pathetic that our attention is literally captured by this fight. Will someone please unify these titles and just keep it under one federation and one ranking system? not the ultimate solution, but at least it would be a good start to fixing what’s wrong with boxing.

The entire fight was just a set up for the next one. Paul even called Tyson the "GOAT" after. Which is a total joke as Tyson never lived up close to his hype.

What did he do to develop his legs?
(He asks looking at his own chicken legs which don't respond to anything)

Boxing is certainly at a low. At least I am just about old enough to remember boxing in the 80s and 90s when I started to get into it.

These days there are 19 weight classes with 4 major sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO) and there's even more of them too (IBO, WBF, IBC etc.) but no one counts those. You'd think they'd be a maximum of 76 different people across the weight classes that can call themselves a World Champion of a recognized sanctioning body but the number is actually higher - WBA calls their Champion the 'Super Champion', what we'd previously known as the number 1 contender is now the 'regular world champion' and what was previously known as the number 2 contender is now the 'Interim World Champion'!! I can't remember but the WBC and WBO probably does that same crap. But with all of that the number of supposed World Championships is probably closer to 100 LOL

All the drug scandals in the sport are pretty much brushed under the carpet...they like to call them 'adverse findings' as the technical term. All the big names in recent years have been caught with PEDs in their system and forgiven or forgotten - Tyson Fury, Canelo Alverez, Billy Joe Saunders, Dillian Whyte, Luis Otiz, Jerome Miller, Connor Benn etc. Most of the top fighters want to protect their records instead of fighting the best.

There's a couple of fighters I like to follow like Usyk, Crawford, Inoe and Bivol but for the most part I'm fed up of the scene now and otherwise just watch stuff from 70s, 80s and 90s....and don't get me started about the corrupt judges!
