    I mean why are we even talking about Paul like he’s a real boxer. To become a professional boxer you’re generally a professional at taking big hits.

    Tyson can endure what would knock most people unconscious.

    The Paul Brothers are tools and a product of the attention starved social media gen. I’ll give them credit for playing the game and becoming rich but what an embarrassing way to do it.

    The guys on 1080 The Fan had a good comparison.
    This fight was like today’s Michael Jordan (Tyson) going 1 on 1 vs Dillon Brooks (Paul). Brooks is a dbag NBA player but he’d beat the old GOAT because of current age, athleticism, endurance, etc.

    I think MJ could still score on him easily. His defense would be the problem.

    If they fought in 6x6 foot ring Tyson would have had a good chance of winning. I think he got in there and realized he didn't have enough spring in his legs to close the distance against Paul. Paul mainly kept out of his range by jabbing and back peddling.

    I wanted the Rocky Balboa comeback story, but now, I hope Mike doesn't do this again.

    Yeah. Mike's too old to chase somebody around like that.

    Jake Paul wouldn't last a round with Tyson in his prime.

    Tyson was exhausted after 2 2-min rounds. He didn't even want to punch after that. But, hey, he lasted the full rounds, and was never knocked down - though I don't think Paul was trying to do that. Also, congrats to Tyson for getting that Mo Money!

    Why hasn’t Mike Tyson ever partnered with Tyson Chicken nuggets?

    Imagine if they made ear shaped nuggets.

    it was basically an exhibition fight with a ton of marketing.
    usually JP fights totally washed MMA guys, so at least Tyson was a boxer, but he's 58.
    biggest thing i noticed was the lack of legs on Tyson, he had next to no movement.
    OG tyson, would bob/weave and get in fast, 45degree pivot, hook the body etc
    all that was gone. as you would expect at 58.

    all up it was kind of sad to watch, but I'm glad that Tyson getting KO'd is the last image i have of him in the ring.
    he wont be back.

    Tyson looked gassed just walking that long ass road to the ring...Paul took a car to the ring. Tyson had no legs after 4 minutes. He needed to knock the kid out in the first round to win this fight.Serrano beat Taylor and got ripped off ...Taylor head butted her at least 4 times in that match. That was a poorly judged contest. Ref should be suspended for allowing that fight to go the distance
