Influencer Jake Paul is taking on Mike Tyson. Everyone loses, except Netflix. If this was Tyson in his prime, it would be a very short fight.

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > If this was Tyson in his prime, it would be a very short fight. As is…maybe three rounds? You think Tyson in his prime couldn’t get it done in one round? Maybe even less than a minute? There aren’t many boxers who even got to the 3rd round against him He had a couple dozen first round KOs and I think one of them was under 30 seconds. If it was Tyson in his prime, the bets should be on how long Paul would be hospitalized after the fight. ---

Sorry, mistyped. I meant the current fight will probably be 3 rounds. Prime Tyson would be less than one. ---

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Paul isn’t a terrible boxer but peak Tyson was in a totally different league ---

I would be surprised if Paul can hit Tyson hard enough for Tyson to really take notice. It’s gonna entirely be a matter of how long Paul’s defense can hold up then the killshot comes in and he’s on the floor. Yeah, Tyson’s an old man now. But he’s a big old man with a 3" thick skull. ---
