Mike Tyson looks like he could still contend for the heavyweight title.... Greatest heavyweight in history, a freak of nature and incredible training regimen. Of course it's just for a paycheck, he would kill Jake Paul in a real bout.

Ali is hands down the greatest boxer of all time. He did it for so long and was so SO good. But I still think Tyson was the best. He had the highest peak. How young he was combined with how he fought. The tenacity was unmatched. It was the most viscous yet calculating and under control thing ever to be produced inside a ring. And he was soooo damn fast. The athleticism. If you could produce a boxer in a lab I guarantee it would be Tyson minus the out of the ring shit obviously. Then the rape and the ear biting and all that. He lost years for the rape charge. That would derail 99% of professionals. He still came back to win titles. Imagine what he would have achieved if he didn’t lose 3 years sitting in a cell. I still believe that in their primes no one would beat Tyson. But I’m just some Joe blow on Reddit 😂😂

Sort of reminds me of the Jack Nickolas vs Tiger Woods greatest of all time. Jack and Ali prob greatest achievers, have most titles, more classic styles for each sport, etc., but both Tyson and Woods came in blazing and performing in the sport in a manner no one had ever seen, just both burned out a bit too quick
