OT: Tyson vs. Paul. Who should win?
- Thread starter LionJim

The biggest winner is anyone that hasn’t seen Tyson fight since 1994. Sad to see what became of him from McNeeley on.
Anything Paul does comes off as rigged to me, but a 27 year old who is bigger fighting a 58 year old kind of tells you how big a joke Paul is. Good for him as he took WWE to you YouTube and made a career and some good paydays out of it. I want Tyson knock his arse out, but I think the fix is in on the Paul fights.
Who should win?
The folks who aren't interested in watching men hit each other for money.
Unfortunately, I grew up uncivilized, so I'll have a passing interest in the spectacle. It's embarrassing though ... Mike Tyson is nearly a 60-year-old man ... no 27-year-old should want to fight someone of that age, no matter the money. And I'd rather just remember Tyson in his prime, than watch this. But I will ... and I'll feel shameful about it. It's not any better a time waster than bum fights.

Surprised boxing is still going. Thought MMA took that crowd away. I guess this is a morbid curiosity thing now? See if Tyson knocks his head off or if Paul gets to gloat that he beat a borderline social security/Medicare legend?
I guess you go with Tyson being able to land one shot early on and then it's over? Would think the longer it goes the more it favors the young guy.

I just found out it’s on Netflix not PPV I’m pumped. If Tyson doesn’t kill him I the first 4 minutes he hangs on a loses a boring decision. I say he loses an old man boring decision
Even if it is rigged, do you trust Tyson to follow the script? Or does he get hit and go ape sh*t on Paul. I hope Tyson puts an end to this dog and pony show. Knock him out and shut him up.
It’s a sanctioned fight in Texas, not an exhibition so it’s illegal to rig the fight in any way.
Does that mean they can’t agree to make the whole thing a work and nothing happens to them? Absolutely. But at least there is a small chance this isn’t some work by Tyson/Paul.
I’m going to a HS playoff game tomorrow, I completely forgot about this fight. I may rethink my evening
Whackadoo. And Irvin essentially advocating for Jerry to hire Coach Prime was the cherry topper.
Well, they're using 14 oz gloves, so it's a glorified pillow fight. It'll either go the distance because nobody can land with enough power with those size gloves, or Tyson gets way too exhausted and it ends by TKO or DQ earlier. It'll be sad, Paul will win, and everyone will be glad they didn't have to spend money on it.
Paul should fight real contenders. This nonsense isn't respectable to me.

As someone who grew up watching Tyson dominate boxing, I'd never go against Mike! He was the baddest man on the planet for a long time. Nobody invoked fear in his opponents like Mike.
Dumbest reason I’ve ever stayed up late in my life.
