Referring to himself as “the greatest heavyweight boxer on the planet” in comparison to Tyson, Paul’s words struck a nerve with fans, drawing sharp rebuke and condemnation. The audacity of Paul’s claim, coupled with the stark age difference between the two fighters, fueled outrage and disbelief among boxing enthusiasts worldwide.
While opinions remain divided on the potential outcome of the bout, fans wasted no time in expressing their skepticism and disapproval. Some questioned Paul’s confidence in facing off against a seasoned veteran like Tyson, while others pointed out the physical mismatch between the two fighters.
The fan wrote, “It’s a lose-lose for Jake: He K.Os Mike & people say it’s rigged, or that he knocked out a 60 y.o man. Or he gets K.O’d by Mike & he got knocked out by a 60 y.o retired boxer.”
Another user was astonished at Paul’s confidence. They wrote, “He really thinks he’s gonna beat Mike Tyson.”
They remarked, “Bro look at Mikes hand compared to Jakes oo…He’s screwed.”
Another user said the exact opposite of what the previous user said. They remarked, “Jake looks bigger than Mike.”
A user came with a warning. They cautioned Paul against Mike Tyson’s prowess, noting, “You woke the god of war, time to bring the heat baby!”
Despite Paul’s impressive 9-1 record in his professional career, many fans believe he is outmatched by Tyson’s formidable legacy, boasting a staggering 50-6 record spanning two decades. As the debate rages on, tensions continue to mount, with fans eagerly awaiting the spectacle that promises to redefine the boundaries of sports and entertainment.
