Who Would Win Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson
The upcoming Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing match has ignited a flurry of opinions from both former and current boxers. Let’s delve into what the combat sports community is saying:
In the world of boxing, the recent fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is stirring up a lot of discussion with different views coming from former as well as present-day fighters and commentators. So let’s get into what all the fuss is about, and what the noise around combat sports fans has in store.
In the boxing annals, Tyson, at 20, was the youngest heavyweight champion ever. Not only did he become one, but he also held the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles concurrently.
Meanwhile, last month YouTuber turned boxer Paul beat Ryan Bourland in his 10th professional fight.
Paul and Tyson’s ages are another hot topic since there is an age difference of 30 years between the two and also because Tyson fought his last professional fight in 2005.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: What Boxing Fraternity Thinks
Despite that, the UFC commentator Rogan hasn’t completely written off Tyson. In his recent comments in a podcast, Rogan said Tyson still has the skills and speed to get around Paul’s defense. It’s worth noting that Fury fought Paul recently and managed to withstand a brutal assault from him.
“One must set aside the impression of Jake Paul as seen online and actually see the boxing. I would look at Tommy Fury’s fight, in which he took it to the wire against an undefeated boxer,” he said.
He further said that age was not a factor as far as the training of Tyson was concerned, highlighting the level of intensity of Tyson’s preparation under Cordeiro’s guidance, an MMA luminary.
According to Rogan, “It’s true; age is nothing but a number. Along with HRT and vitamin usage in their modern and cutting-edge recovery techniques, they make Tyson invincible.” Just looking at him fighting, you can easily guess what it is like to be on the receiving end of one of his punches.
Meanwhile, former professional boxer Amir Khan also dropped his two cents on the upcoming fight between Paul and Tyson. Khan’s points are in line with the feelings of many in the boxing brotherhood that see Tyson as an unassailable machine even after his retirement and old age.
Khan, speaking to the Gambling Zone, expressed shock that Paul dared to fight a heavyweight legend such as Tyson. He said, “It’s simply asking for trouble. I worry about Paul; Tyson’s punch still possesses legendary power regardless of his age.”
The match has generated considerable debate, as naysayers doubt Paul’s wisdom in taking on a pro of Pettis’s caliber. However, supporters are thrilled at the prospect of witnessing a showdown of massive proportions, as the contest is set to be aired live on Netflix from the historic AT&T Stadium on July 20th.
Meanwhile, UFC impresario Dana White looks askance at the match-up, pointing to the obvious age difference of the contenders. Besides his reference to Netflix live sports involvement, White does not seem enthusiastic about such a controversial fight and tries to caution against crossing combat sports boundaries.
With time running out for the encounter, the world boxing community is preparing itself for an inevitable clash of generations as it awaits this never-before-seen meeting between two boxing legends.
