It's not that I disagree. It wasn't until I read George Foreman's assessment of Paul that I really started thinking about the correlation. Foreman believes people are underestimating Paul's legitimate skill and when he said it, I took note and tried to peer through the YouTubiness of it all. But that's no easy task.

You forgot something.

Clay was a once-in-several-generations SuperTalent who literally redefined the sport.

While punk moron idiot POS whatshisname is many things (most notably a punk, a moron, a POS, and an idiot), he's no Cassius Clay.
Not to mention that Ali had already won six state and two national golden gloves titles and an olympic gold medal by the time he fought Moore. Logan Paul just uses boxing as a social media gimmick.

Growing up I watched Tyson mess people up badly in the ring, so I'm pulling for Tyson. I'm not a fan of Logan and Jake Paul, but they're out there doing their thing. I just don't think Paul has it in him to survive Tyson. 2 minute rounds make it easy for Tyson to attack and not really tire, and I just don't think Paul can survive his punches. Should be an interesting fight.

I think tyson's technique will keep him safe. Boxers don't forget technique. He needs one punch. Does paul really train?

Boxing is a ferociously intense sport, and extremely hard on the body. The only thing that could give Tyson a win is a huge difference in technique - I don't know Jake Paul as I've only followed some of the big(ger) names. If he gets a good punch on the chin in then could win, otherwise his 58-year old body can't possibly keep up with that of a man less than half his age.

Having said that, I'd watch the fight if it wasn't at 2:00 AM for me, and I wasn't travelling the next day...
If Mike Tyson is even half as fast and ferocious as he was in his prime, he will dominate what’s-his-name and I hope he does.

Just don't eat the ear. I'm just saying.. That other guy's looking for KO around 4 - 5 the round. I say KO by third round. Mike's gonna punch his ass out to next week.

I’m watching. I don’t know who Jake Paul is. He looks fit and like 25 years old. I don’t want to underestimate that. On paper, he should be able hit hard and fight good. Not sure that will be sufficient. I want Mike to win and I think he will win. I think Mike will absorb his hits better than Jake will soak up Mike’s pummeling. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a tie though.

There is no rule about pushing your opponents shoulder and chest with your head. It is your responsibility as a fighter to adapt against that style. Serrano just couldn't work around that and left her head in the head butt zone. Shut up and shut your trainer up and learn how to adapt to close range boxing. Taylor had better footwork, defense and general ringmanship. She deserved the win.

Tyson will be gassed by round 4. Watch his training videos, he has no balance in the ring anymore, I mean he is 58.... If he doesn't KO Paul by round 3 he will lose but this is probably rigged anyways
