it’s funny how lns thinks he’s this fighting expert when we all know, he wouldn’t stand a chance versus me in the ring.

As for in ring skill, punching power, and just overall ring presence, Mike Tyson in a million miles ahead of Paul, even at the age of 57...
BUT, what this fight will boil down to is...Can Mike Tyson at the age of 57 still take punches...If he can, he wins easily, and i suspect that Paul will start running for his life from Tyson. If he cant, the fight will probably be stopped pretty quickly...

It comes down to Mike's experience and knowledge but lack of peak ability versus Jake's peak ability but much less experience.
Gotta disagree here. Mike isn’t Bernard Hopkins or Floyd, who both had defensive minded styles that allowed them to stave off wear and tear. Mike’s peek-a-boo style is a young man’s style… it’s an explosive pressure style and requires a lot of energy. If Jake goes hard on him it’s gonna get ugly fast IMO.
I see where you're coming from but even still he has to have vastly more boxing knowledge than Jake, no?

Yeah... Mike is old and slow.
Agreed. That’s what happens when you’re pushing 60. You are also old and slow, I guarantee it.
You seem triggered... but speaking of slow, it must be your brain because in that video Iron Mike is clearly the faster of the two; his footwork, his punches, plus the speed, the quickness, the lethal power, it's all still there.
He's long past his prime no doubt, but Tyson is still a savage. The only question is his stamina... but I don't expect your boy to make it past 2-3 rounds, so that won't be an issue.

Uhhh.. I don’t think you really understand what you’re even watching, chief. That’s typical of casual fans, and even more so of dudes fanboying Tyson. The drills being performed weren’t even the same in most cases, it’s not even possible to know what intensity they’re each being asked to go. I know you said you slap a punching bag or something for exercise when you’re not sitting at your computer, but trust me old timer… Mike looks old in that video.

Didn't Cus take him to school?
I don’t think it’ll matter. Mike looks clumsy and his balance looks shitty. I just don’t see what everyone else is seeing I guess. But it’s fine… I said ITT I hope that he wins, I just don’t think he’s going to. He’s giving up every physical advantage… strength, speed, explosiveness, durability and definitely stamina. His experience will help but he was never this chess master in there… he’s not a Bernard Hopkins or Floyd Mayweather or Andre Ward. He's not gonna make complex adjustments. He’s either gonna taste a hard shot and play it safe the remainder of the fight, or he’s gonna try bullrushing and get ktfo. I’ll gladly come back here and say I’m wrong if he pulls off the miracle win, though. Jake is a douche so watching him get flatlined wouldn’t ruin my night.
Mike is an all time legend who shouldn’t be stooping to this level of a fight. That being said, Mike is going to get his ass beat, he was washed before Paul was born.
paul is no where near the level of competition that took out tyson near the end of his career. what are you guys even talking about. tyson at 50 or 60 could demolish the average joe in a street fight… which is what paul is an average boxer.

An "average boxer" is miles beyond an average joe in a fight, especially if it's just hands.
FFS, he's 58 years old. As you get older, those year-over-year incremental drops become more powerful.
That said, we should all be rooting for him to win lol
