[Poll added 15 November] Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

[Druss]

@Druss you say that without having watched him fight.
He's fought some skilled opponents including a couple of pretty good professional boxers and 2 extremely talented multi world champion UFC/MMA fighters and made it look easy.
Whilst he may have made his fame and fortune as a dubious YouTube click bait whore, that does not necessarily define the man behind the persona. He's doing it in his own unique way, that's for sure, but why not?

I'll admit my ignorance on the issue, but from what little I've seen of the man, he seems like a poser/poseur however you want to say it, Paul is a braggart and a nincompoop.

Well done. Imo it was all about the money nothing else

Well done Paul.
I thought it may turn out like American wrestling but there were no punches pulled in this fight Paul took some good shots he isn't as bad a fighter as people were making out before the fight, the question is could he have done it over 3 minute rounds back in Tyson's day, i doubt it.

so glad i did not stay up watched it the next morning waste of time Tyson was not fit to fight his knee was gone and clear he was not giving his all the script has now surfaced and almost exactly as it played out all just a show.

Fair play it was a final pay day for Tyson and he showed he can still take a punch if nothing else having watched his training videos on the build up I am convinced it was staged as a former boxer very fat and late 40's not quite as old as Tyson but some things don't leave like following up once you have a opening and countering when your opponent guard slips, watch the fight Tyson pulled back several times.
Also the shots landed count was a joke a glancing *** by Paul was ducked and slid across Tyson's head but this was given erm nope no way.
The scoring all 9 and 10 for both show me another fight where this happens please.

Was show nothing else and way Logan responded I would kill you Mike!

Maybe we didn't give Tyson enough credit -
