He needs to keep that same energy when he steps into the ring

[@user-bt8mh1it2h]

Next stellar fight Mr.Beast vs Ric Flair, " heart attacks is not an option" 😂😂

[@Razear]

This is a lose-lose situation for Jake. If he lays out Tyson, people will say he fought a geriatric. If Mike stops him, they'll say he isn't a real boxer and dismiss all of his wins.

[@mishealbrown4019]

I'm not into boxing and I want to see this fight. I cannot see Jake winning this. Watching them train is no comparison

[@dysfnctional1978]

​@@mishealbrown4019 I'm not usually into boxing, either, but I want to see Tyson destroy Jake Paul. Tyson is a legend. Jake Paul needs to be knocked down a few pegs. I think he is way to arrogant, especially to think he can defeat the Legend.

[@solomonpachowiak106]

I admit it takes guts for the guy, and even if (when) Paul loses he's still gonna act like he somehow won by saying shit like "durhr well how many other boxers of my generatio mn can say they went up against him durhr" because the guy is all ego; if he'd approached this with even a modicum of respect I'd feel different, but the way this little prick is acting I hope Tyson just dissolves his ass in the ring. I have noticed with a lot of the press photos Paul has a bit of a reserved body language; the one ridiculous promotion video with the helicopter and shit, Paul's got his shoulder back and his fists uncalled while Tyson is in his face wanting to eat him alive. I bet this was just shit-talking that snowballed; his ego kept talking shit about Tyson and eventually Tyson agreed. He wasn't expecting that, now his options are either admit he's a chump and back out, or actually put his money where his mouth is. He's fucked either way any he knows it. Like you said, lose/lose. This dude's career is damaged no matter how it ends - either he beats up a man five years away from Social Security, gets his ass beat by a man five years away from Social Security, or backs out and looks like an utter clown.

[@nickf6794]

Jake doesn't care about reputation, legacy, Honor.... He fights for money... It's a win for him because he will make tens of millions of dollars for fighting Mike.

[@allaboutwwe9269]

Na your wrong, it’s a win win for Jake Paul, even if he loses he lost against Mike Tyson that’s nothing to be ashamed of plus he makes millions. It’s more of a lose situation for Mike cuz if Mike loses he’s gonna have his legacy tainted and the last thing people will remember is Mike losing to Jake Paul which isn’t reputable for a legend

[@thomaskinne2357]

Yeah man, ain't that the troof?!

[@anthonyroberts7928]

He has and I'm a huge fan. But not sure what that has to so with anything. He has beating guys with more height, definitely more mass, more experience, undefeated etc. But he also has been beaten by the same degree of fighters in height, ripped, undefeated. By no means am I saying Paul has a shot cuz if it's not rigged Tyson 1st round KO or by round 3, not taking nothing from Jake cuz love him or hate him he has trained his ass off the last few years. Once he knew he actually could be good at this if he takes it serious, he started training harder. I'd give him a shot doing it the right way ans starting where all rhe greats did and any pro boxer. Wouldn't say he could be a champ but he may be able ro make a career out if it. He's worth so much money I don't know why he is even trying but to each there own

[@ArizonaSquatch]

So this is a sanctioned flight. Which means the results will stand as a professional fight. This isn't an exhibition and Mike had fought the world's best heavyweights at one time in his life. Jake has less than 10 professional fights, ever. And never against anyone like Mike Tyson. Probably the 2nd best heavyweight in history behind Ali. Mike won't take it easy on Jake, at all. Mike still knows how to punch, even at 58. And i bet Jake gets knocked out if Mike really hits him.

Mike Tyson won't take it easy on Jake Paul despite experience gap = better title.

[@christiangrabowski7603]

In my opinion he might have lost his speed advantage. This can take a long time for his body to get used to. I also can't believe there aren't any big name heavyweight boxers in the camp. He must get an impression of what kind of division elite boxer Mike Tyson fights in. Why does he keep stressing that he wants to knock out Mike Tyson? The show fight with Roy Jones Junior was quite well done. That would also be appropriate for Jake Paul, the way he fights. I don't understand Jake taking these risks anymore. That's Mike Tyson, that's dangerous. But who am I telling this to, he looks at the videos and probably thinks he is TNT Tucker, Buster Douglas or could even dominate Mike Tyson, like Lennox Lewis. Why then, because he is a disciple? That's all, it will be interesting against Mike Tyson...

Yeah because Tyson has to take an easy. He'll get paid less if he knocks you out early in the fight. Do you have the same deal or is his hands the only one's that are tied?

[@deontemerritt91]

Jake Paul needs to worry and scared for his own safety because I don't want to hear what his father Greg Paul got to say after Mike Tyson knocks him out.

[@AntValleyCo]

You do understand jake that Mike Tyson doesn't care if you have speed. And if you jump around like a fucking rabbit. Its mike Tyson dude. Go look at his old matches. And find his weaknesses. Thats the only way your going to be able to stay in the ring long term. You will hit that man and he will bite your ear off. I mean fuck you up. Because getting hit sets that man on rampage
