    I'm not one to doubt Iron Mike.

    But who here has watched the Paul documentary.

    They're all staged, it's all about making money. For example, the one with Mayweather and that Irish bloke...you're telling me the worlds best boxer had to go the limit vs a guy who wasn't a professional boxer?

    It's all a big grift.

    Mike isn't famous for long matches trading punches....he'll knock this kid out in 3 rounds if that...only issue is at 58 can he take a punch...I know he can still throw one but the kid could get lucky if he landed one. I expect Mike to come out like a buzz saw. He's been living like Snoop Dogg for a long time now so I don't see him going the distance.

    Is it wrong to hope for a simultaneous 1st round double KO?

    last time i saw Tyson, he was on a hippy journey to promote legal cannibus. Just let the old guy retire, no point in him getting back in the ring. Oh wait... they're gonna pay Mike a couple million bucks.

    go get him grandpa !!

    Jake Paul should easily batter Tyson.

    Do I find it on the ‘Speculative Fiction’ section of Netflix?

    No. Both Paul brothers are excellent athletes. Jake is 27-years old, has a height, reach, and weight* advantage over Tyson, and has recently beaten several professional boxers and former MMA fighters, including former world champions.

    I don't like it any more than you do, believe me.


    *I assume. Tyson hasn't been weighed in a while.

    Why does he like fighting washed up people though. I’m confused. If this guy is legit go in the ranks and become a fighter.

    It’s because it’s not real. It’s staged. Nothing more than a publicity stunt,

    It doesn't need to be rigged exactly for that reason. His camp handpicks opponents (this is also extremely common for pro boxers in the first twenty or so fights of their careers). He also doesn't fight recklessly.

    I've watched the fights. I wish he was a phony but he's not.

    I mean nice hit. But woodley is an mma fighter. Boxing is a complete different sport. If you don’t have the boxing footwork down pat, you’re fucked.

    When is Paul going to compete for a title?
