On July 20, 2024 Iron Mike will take on Jake Paul. I've got Tyson going over since I don't think he'd take a dive like Merriweather. Who do you got in the fight and who was/is your favorite boxer? Mine is Rocky Marciano.

I’ve got to go with Tyson. I want Paul to stop fighting old men.
Favorite…I’ve got a few, but I’ll say Jack Johnson The Galveston Giant.

Soon Paul is going to want to fight Ali's corpse. I'd like to see Paul vs Fury in an open weight bout.
I’ve seen some recent footage of Iron Mike and it looks like he can still move. I’d like to see Jake Paul get flattened.
I loved watching Mike Tyson fight when he was still under Cus D’Amato’s tutelage—his movement, and ducking were so impressive for a heavyweight; Roberto Duran, Alexis Arguello, Julio Caesar Chavez, and Marvelous Marvin Hagler in their primes were a joy to watch. Floyd Mayweather, while talented, made boxing very boring for me.

Unless the ring is big enough for Paul to run away from Tyson, he will be demolished in the first round. Assuming, that is, this is real and not for show. Sugar Ray Leonard my all time favorite.
My answer would be the same as @TheIronMonkey
I loved Tyson in his prime. Everyone always talks about the knockouts but I think his ability to not get hit was what was truly amazing.
I don’t know if I will be able to watch the match live - Jake Paul is such a fuckin douche.

Tyson has been wildly out of shape for a long time now. And, his drug use is historical, especially the stimulants and steroids. He was exciting to watch back years agio before the roided off Holyfield's ear. He is dangerous, and damaged, but he just isn't the boxer he once was. I'd want him on my side in a street fight, but, I wouldn't put money on either of them. We won't see much actual boxing in that fight, which makes me disinterested.
Sugar Ray was my all time fav also. But, I'm keeping an eye on Terrance Crawford.

Would like Tyson to win. And like S.R. Robisnon and Muhamed Ali, now mine favourite is A. Josua
I just hope it's not rigged and Tyson KOs him in the 1st round. I'll be very disappointed if Tyson loses or it goes the distance.
It is a TV event and I'm sure Tyson really needs the money, or he wouldn't do it. Well, I really don't know why but it makes a little.
Won't be in on this unless free, and even then...
Sugar Ray, yeah, all time.

I got two words about this fight... Rocky V. 
Hopefully Tyson, but I don't feel invested enough in it though. I don't feel it should really be happening. Are the rules set yet? Eg over how many rounds?
In answer to the OP, a fighter I never get tired of watching from his hey day, is Roberto Duran.

This, even more than the fight at the weekend between Joshua and a glorified bouncer, demeans boxing. I don't know who will win but I hope Tyson takes the jumped up little wanker's head off.
Fav boxer? Dunno, but I guess the GOAT has to be Floyd Mayweather, so maybe him.

The Paul’s are annoying so I hope Tyson bears the hell out of him lol
In reading the gross overpayment Tyson is asking for even if he loses shows me that this is merely a money grab, probably to help pay for his expensive coke and prostitute habits. Four months to lose all that fat. The more I read, the more I am certain that there will be no real boxing, but I will most certainly watch it... for the same reason I would watch a car wreck or natural disaster. Maybe someone will lose an ear, or have a heart attack.
Tyson.
Chalky Wright.
Only other thing I have to add is...I hope Paul has invested in some solid ear protection.

Growing up, I loved Tyson.
I hope he can pull it off.
Age is a sonofabitch.
Hailing from Louisville, Ali has to be the requisite favorite.
Aside from The Greatest - I'll say Salvador Sanchez.
Honorable Mentions - Ray Mancini, Ray Robinson, and Willie Pep.
