    If Tyson wins it will be absolutely hilarious but sadly I can't get the image out of my mind of him quitting like a baby against hopeless journeyman Kevin McBride 20 years ago. Jake Paul is many things but he isn't stupid. This is a handpicked opponent like all the others with everything stacked in Jake's favour. As soon as the going gets tough, he will likely quit again (probably on his stool), especially at 93 years old.

    Wow. That poor kid. I guess the rumors of Tyson being of sound mind have been greatly exaggerated. He is obviously in terrible shape mentally. The stress of having to endure this carnival because he needs the money is clearly weighing on his mind. If Jake Paul wasn't so inept, I would be seriously worried about Mike's health.

    Tyson is almost 60 years old and has sounded punchy the last decade. As bad as Jake Paul is this isn’t going to end well.

    Made a lot of sense to me, but then I am a strange blend of pragmatism and idealism. A hippie with attitude...

    He is spitting the truth. You could argue that you should be less direct with kids though. Everyone's legacy will die before this hot mass becomes vacant in an infinite galaxy. All that matters is how we treat ourselves and others. Nothing more.

    Tyson should knock him out within 30 seconds.

    It's refreshing when people answer honestly, no overblown bull****.

    I definitely do not agree with your statement. Tyson has always had some psychological issues (most likely due to his childhood). But, I do not consider him an inherently bad person.

    He was also great in Mike Tyson Mysteries. It was you standard adult swim comedy, with Hanna Barbera inspired animation which starred Mike Tyson trying to solve mysteries, although usually doing more harm than good if anything, everything about it just clicked for me. Wacky as hell, and I get why some folks didn't care for it, but damned if I don't miss it :lol:

    We can agree to disagree then. You obviously have a very low bar.
