Logan Paul thinks he could take Mike Tyson

Logan Paul Reckons He Could Beat Mike Tyson in a Boxing Match

"You can't tell me I can't beat Mike Tyson. Bro, he's old, old."

www.yahoo.com

Having gone toe-to-toe with 5ft8, 155lbs Floyd Mayweather, YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul has set his sights on a new opponent: the one-time 'most dangerous man on the planet', Iron Mike Tyson.

Speaking on his podcast, Impaulsive, Paul said that having—impressively, we might add— gone the distance with Mayweather, he wouldn't be afraid of squaring up against the former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Tyson.

"Someone mentioned Mike Tyson, like how funny is it? One great at a time. Or is it like you can only fight one? My lawyer mentioned it and he was like, 'No, Tyson will rip your head off, you don't stand a chance'," said Paul.


"I'm like 'bro, I literally just went through all of this, you can't tell me I can't beat Mike Tyson. Bro, he's old, old." Like Paul, Tyson was recently in action, having made a long-awaited return to the ring to fight Roy Jones Jr in November of last year.

Such a dumb payday set up.

 

[Moral]

Dude got accidentally knocked out by Mayweather. Tyson would kill him dead.

 

[BubsFinn]

I'm sure even more people would throw away $50 to watch him get permanently injured. Mayweather built a career on winning fights on points. Tyson tried to kill people. Even at his age, Tyson would cause real damage.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

I might actually pay to see that idiot get destroyed by Tyson. It probably won’t shut him up though unless he kills him.

Those body shots are terrifying. The hand speed at that age in incredible.

Give them a million each for participating. Split the rest if there isn’t a knockout. If there is a KO, give the rest of the purse to the winner.

No doubt but the bloody beat down would never happen. A couple hooks and a few heavy body shots would force Paul to take a knee and declare "no mas" ..... another multi-million dollar PPV scam.

Bare minimum appearance fees for each then compensate Paul on an ascending scale per round survived and pay Tyson on a descending scale for round of KO.

Paul will be incentivized to stay in the fight or earn very little and Tyson would be incentivized to do his thing or lose his big payday.

That works. The last fight was pointless. Tyson needs the incentive to fight his hardest.

It appeared that Mayweather wasn’t looking to KO him. Dude was gassed the last 4 rounds and FM toyed with him. Makes you wonder if there was a clause that paid him extra if Paul finished on his feet.

 

[The Tradition]

This clown show's 15 minutes aren't up yet?

I am guessing so. Mayweather grabbed him quickly and held him up on an accidental KO.

 

[bdg8]

No thanks. They would get paid and then do nothing in the ring. These YouTube douches fighting are pathetic.

The people that actually pay for those PPVs are even more pathetic yet. This crap is basically like a WWE and boxing mashup.

What is Mike... like 60? Hasn't fought in 25 years?

Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr in 2020. Really!

 

[IACub]

I'd pay to see Mike Tyson kill this guy.

 

[B1GDeal]

Damn, both were bored or needed some $ huh?

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Tyson should offer to fight Paul with all proceeds going to charity. I’ll bet Paul wouldn’t be interested.

Nothing will ever shut him or his brother up. They’ve made millions by not shutting up. And they’ll make millions more.

 

[alaskanseminole]

Well, Paul Hogan says he can take them both.

I guess $$$$ is the main motivator here. Because other than that why would you do this? Seriously if Jake wins he just beat a guy 30 years older than him in the ring. If he loses. . . he got beat by a guy 30 years older than him.

That was a dance competition with bs results

 

[BelemNole]

Will be another exhibition like the Mayweather event. Tyson probably had to agree to not knock him TFO.

It's a good thing they must have agreed to patty-cake because Tyson could have killed him.

This was my first/only thought. Tyson HAD to have agreed not to kill him. Tyson, even at his age now, would have to be on-board in advance with not murdering Paul. It's my understanding that Paul has been hand-fed guys that aren't current, full-time, professional boxers, so he's been able to build up a record.

Even if Tyson agrees to take it easy, Paul needs to be REAL careful not to say/do anything between now and the end of the fight that Tyson could take the wrong way or be insulted by, or inadvertently land too hard of a shot. He's not safe until after the fight is over.

If it's free, I might watch to see what happens. If Netflix tries to charge anything, there's no amount I'd pay to see it.

It's one of the Paul's. This is not possible.

I just hope it's better than the Jones fight. Tyson was holding WAY back and still won even though it was called a draw. This one appears to have a bit more chatter, but we'll see. Tyson could still cave the dude's brain in with one punch. I hope it ends up being a sanctioned fight.

The tag team aspect is weird af

It was so much fun back then to see Tyson really try to decapitate guys who were at the very top of the boxing profession. He was so angry, and so powerful, and every fight you just wanted to see how fast he could end it, and how bad he could manage to hurt someone.

I'd still be into boxing if it had big-time stars like that - especially heavyweights. Pay-per-views were a legit event, and reason to get people together, have cookouts, etc.

I do really wish we could get THAT Tyson, vs a youtube jackass.

I watched a documentary on Tyson and they were interviewing former opponents. One guy said "Mike hits you like you stole something from him." I cannot even imagine. Most were done before the fight even started.

Spinks was scared to death before that fight started. He never had a shot.

Exactly who I was thinking about. He got hit and tried to run, he couldn't get away from him.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

The question is how long can he maintain it? A round? Two?

 

[GOHOX69]

I bet Paul wins. Can't beat father time and Mike is horrifically out of shape. If this was 1987, Paul would be deceased or have brain damage in round 1.

 

[JMNSHO]

I can accept that Paul is a douche, but somehow that makes him more deplorable than the convicted rapist and multiple repeat assaulter Mike Tyson?
