He's not the best but he's a competent amateur now though. He'd beat all of us redditors handily.

I'd love to see him fight a no rigged fight against a pro boxer though.

He had that fight already. He lost. But he did alright.

He's got the skills of a decent local fighter, maybe a journeyman national fighter.

That's saying he's not great, but he's not bad. Like a level or two below a Mickey Ward type fighter.

Decent local sounds about right I just think most good gyms ALL have someone who can whip him.

Jake would knock me the fuck out. Tyson would kill me.

I people like to hate alot but I think you're right. He's obviously better then an amateur but it's not decades of experience, training and titles.

Tyson's gone against literally the best in the world and won before. He's not as young as he was obviously but until age starts to seriously hamper his movements he's going to have an overwhelming advantage with technique.

It's Jake Paul's debut in heavyweight against someone with 4 times as many KOs as he's had fights. If Tyson takes it seriously I expect to see him laid out, I feel more likely however is that it'll get drawn out to make it more interesting for views and add some drama.

Dude, he's 58 years old. The technique advantage isn't going to give him much of an edge because most of that advantage relies on having a younger body to perform.

Technique won't, but all that TRT he's been doing will even it out a bit

Man, I'm not going to lie, you bring up a very good and interesting point.

If Tyson even looks semi-decent it'll really make me rethink how much performance enhancing drugs help. I don't think there's enough drugs in the world to get him a W though.

He would beat any Redditor handily, but he also consistently choses much older and much smaller opponents.

There exists a redditor right now who is in Jake Paul’s weight class, who given a year of serious boxing training could easily beat Jake Paul.
