People are peddling a Tyson narrative that was no longer true in 2004, never mind 2024.
Yes, he was a ferocious force of nature (and does anybody think a 26 year old Mike Tyson would in any way struggle with Jake Paul), but he was pretty much shot by the time he fought Neilson in 2001. His desire, his technique, his stamina and his chin had already gone then.
He is a 58 year old man, for chrissake. He has spent the past two decades away from the ring, heavily smoking weed. He will gas out after about 4 minutes at pace. His chin will be glass by now ...... and is anyone forgetting that he collapsed with a perforated ulcer a while ago and lost nearly a stone in weight. He is not even a healthy 58 year old.
His only hope - beyond survival - is to go all out and ambush Paul at the start ...... oh, wait, 2 minute rounds and 14 ounce gloves ......
This is a ridiculous spectacle that is nothing at all to do with boxing, and it's downright dangerous.

. Rather than a glorified well-known influencer who's 15 minute gimmick needs respected boxing names (sadly in name only now) to keep his carnival grift afloat. This thing is the debut for another streaming site dipping its toe into boxing and instead of co featuring one of the hottest rising contenders, #1 #2 #2 ranked Shu Shu Carrington, his fight will not actually be aired on Netflix. But a second women's fight after Taylor-Serrano II will be. How many of those "new casual fans" brought in by Paul do you think will go hunt down the fighter with an actual future in the sport on some streaming site or youtube?
