    Perfect script would be for Tyson to take a dive in a late round and immediately demand a rematch,which would bring in even more dough than this "fight" (cough,cough).

  3. Well, they certainly spent some money.

    This is quite a production.

    I was already a huge boxing fan before Tyson came on the scene.The Ali/Foreman/Frazier fights of the 70's were great, the Thrilla in Manilla, Rope A Dope,Down Goes Frazier! But I have to admit the 1980's were probably the Golden Age of boxing,Tyson,Hagler,Hit Man Hearns,De La Hoya,Duran,Ray Leonard,Holmes.Some great boxing back then.

    Tyson looked great in the training clips leading up to the Roy Jones Jr fight, but didn't show that greatness. Jones was a very slippery Fighter. But it was an Exhibition bout was it not, Tyson may not have wanted to kill him lol.

    Fighters and Trainers did figure Tyson out eg Holyfield, Douglas, Lewis. I've probably watched those Fights collectively maybe fifty times, particularly Holyfield v Tyson 1. I could formulate a plan to nulify Tyson. These Trainers certainly have. Bonecrusher, Tucker nullified Tyson at his Peak. Tyson declined quickly thereafter.

    This Fight is 8 minute Rounds isn't it? That plays into Paul's hands as the Rounds age.

    I don't know who will win, but I think people are overestimating Tyson.

    Like everyone else I'll lean towards Tyson, based on the 2 minute Rounds.

    Looking at him, Paul's not juiced to the Gills like Holyfield was, nor worthy to be Holyfield s apprentice - Holyfield was a MASTER. Paul won't carry the Power of Lewis or the Speed of Douglas. But Paul will know the "formula" to beat Tyson.

    But yeah, lean toward Iron Mike to KO Paul.

    Tyson must be a NAZI. Or a racist. One or the other. We better ask MSNBC's Joe or Joy. The end of Democracy is near. :rolleyes:

    Mike Tyson endorses Donald Trump ahead of 2024 US elections: "I don't agree with all his sh*t"

    Boxing legend Mike Tyson is in the Republican camp for the upcoming U.S. presidential elections. 'Iron Mike' wants former POTUS Donald Trump to be re-elected to the Oval Office.

    During a recent appearance on the IT IS WHAT IT IS podcast, the former undisputed heavyweight champion endorsed Trump, saying that he was "a good man":

    "Trump is going to win. Yeah, it'd be nice if he wins, yeah. I have my reasons [for wanting him to win]... He is just a good man. Listen, I don't agree with all his sh*t. Nobody agrees with all my sh*t, but you know, they [are] good people. No one is perfect in this world. Everybody got their sh*t, you know. "
