Many people are split down the middle as to how Mike Tyson and Jake Paul‘s fight on November 15 might play out.
Back then Tyson ended his time in the ring with a pair of back-to-back losses against lower-tier opponents. They drew the curtain on a sensational career that saw the now 58-year-old become the youngest ever heavyweight world champion.
He unified belts and had epic battles with the likes of Frank Bruno, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield and enjoy a well-earned reputation as ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet.’
Paul meanwhile is 27, has had just 11 fights, with the majority coming against older combatants and former MMA fighters, along with one loss to Tommy Fury.
As such, former Tyson opponent Peter McNeeley has told The Mirror that thinks that Paul has little chance of a win. McNeeley fought Tyson in 1995, just after ‘Iron Mike’ had come out of a three-year stint in prison and claims the older man will still have enough power to lead him to victory.
“The way I see it Mike is going to hurt this kid. I have seen the videos of him training and he looks real sharp. The kid better watch out.
Jake Paul has never fought a real professional or someone of Mike’s calibre. I remember what it was like being hit by him and just because you get older doesn’t mean you lose that power.”
He then gave a clear prediction.
“Mike wins. He might just knock him out. I have no doubt he has the power.”
