Paul vs Tyson

[The Oracle]

If you ever watch the Buster Douglas fight again, he took a massive beating in that fight and kept on trying. The amount of punishment he took plus the fatigue from not being familiar with being in fights that lasted that long finally caught up with him, but that was some kind of beating he took.
And you are correct regarding Teddy's point was that he never faced adversity and came back from it, which is true. Conversely his name sake Fury did just that in his third Wilder fight.

Yes Tyson didn't even train for the Douglas fight. Didn't spar one round. How crazy is that? I remember I was watching the NBA skills competition on TV and they interrupted the broadcast with the news that he had lost in Japan. The next day a friend had the tape and brought it to the local gym and all the guys stopped training and we watched the fight. Tyson came back from the first knockdown but he was gassed. Nothing worse than gassing out in a fight. Takes a lot of energy to throw those big power shots.

Fury has a chin for the ages...Wilder is one of the hardest punchers in boxing history. Thinking right up there with Ernie Shavers, Foreman and Ron Lyle. I thought Fury was finished in that fight but he bounced right back and took it too him. Pretty impressive stuff. Then he lays an egg with Ngannou. Go figure this game.

Paul doesn't stand much to gain in this fight. If he wins he beat a 58 yr old man. If he loses he lost to a 58 yr old man. Tyson on the other hand if he wins he stops the Jake Paul hype train is lauded for halting the charade. Paul is obviously very confident. I just have this feeling that all the weed, Shrooms and DMT + his age will catch up to Mike. But then he is the bigger fighter as well. Hmmm...There's going to be a lot of eyes on this fight.

I hope it's not rigged, but seeing how important Jake Paul is, being the Court Jester of the world, I take it back, it'll be some drawn out bullshit, forget my 3 round win max comment.

He blew through $400M. How long would it take him to blow that. If you have any kids would you hold him up as a shining example of how a person should conduct their lives and be a good human being? Make sure you include prison time, raping your own wife and biting off people's ears.

Yeah, I'll hold up how I lived my life and treated people compared to that thug anytime.

Trumps done all of that minus biting someone's ear off

You're referring to the Barbara Walters interview with him and Robin Givens. Her and her mother were trying fleece him financially during their brief marriage at the time. She buried him during the interview.

And know I don't think he raped Desiree Washington...He got railroaded based on the evidence.

And that ''thug'' grew up in Brownsville Brooklyn. His mother was a prostitute and his step father was a pimp. Tyson's mother died when he was 16...Then he was taken in and adopted by Cus D'Amato his trainer. He straightened him out and kept him off the streets. Problem is that Cus died in 1985 before he was the heavyweight champion. Now he is on the brink of superstardom without his mentor and tutor. No wonder he spirals into problems. He didn't have much chance right from the get go

Surprised no Hollywood movie about him
