    This twilight of his career version of Mike is much more mature, wise, experienced, and locked in and focused than the young troubled MIke. I have a hunch we might just see the best version of Mike we've ever seen against Jake.

    60 is 60, regardless of where Tyson is mentally. He will have a very short window to KO Jake Paul, otherwise he is toast.

    I can’t imagine an inactive, 60 year old Tyson is going to have the timing to KO Paul, who is actually a tad bit better than people give hi m credit for. Like a lot of people in this thread, I just hope Tyson makes it out okay.

    60 today is the equivalent of 40 a decade ago and a 48 y/o B-Hop became the unified LHW champ a decade ago. Hell, a damn near 45 y/o Archie Moore beat a 29 y/o Yvon Durelle way back in the 1950s. So compared to B-Hop and Moore, in this day and age, Mike is practically in the midst of his prime

    Any time I hear people talking about how great Mike looks I just remind them Mike was stopped by Kevin Mc ****ing Bride; decades ago.

    I'd take 45 year old Tyson over Jake Paul. I won't take a 60 year old Tyson, who could very easily retire with an injury. 45 isn't THAT old, really. I mean it's obviously past prime but 60 is far, far removed. And what 60-year-old can you name who has won a bout against someone 30 years younger than them?

    I'm probably in the minority here but I'd take Jake over any version of Mike.

    The commission wouldn't sanction match ups between a 60 y/o and a 30 y/o because they're stuck in the past and haven't evolved with the times. They still think that 60 in 2024 is the same as being 60 in 2014 when in reality, as said, 60 in 2024 = 40. Like I said, a 48 y/o Archie Moore in the 1950s KO'd a 29 y/o, being 48 y/o back then was more like being 88

    Look at the faces of these children from 1901. They look much older than their years because they were. They were essentially undersized adults

    I just hope Tyson doesn't embarrass himself like Holyfield did in his last fight against Belfort.

    I think Tyson will snap. He carried RJJ because they were two old guys looking to make some money. Two years ago he beat up a guy in an airplane. This time it's different, I feel like he might want to knock him out and teach him a lesson.
