KSI reckons it will be an easy win for Paul[/caption]

Tyson Fury: TYSON

“If Mike Tyson hits anybody, I don’t care if he’s 90, he’s going to knock them out cold isn’t he? He’s Iron Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet.

“Jake Paul is very experienced now and he’s had a lot of fights but obviously, I have to back Mike Tyson for the knockout as he always backs me.”

KSI: PAUL

“Jake Paul will knock out Mike Tyson. This will not be close at all. Boxing is a young man’s game and Mike is 58 years old.

“They’re sending a lamb to the slaughter and it’s disgusting.”

Conor McGregor: TYSON

“Don’t give a b******s. They’re wearing 14-oz gloves. It’s two-minute rounds, is it? It’s two-minute rounds? Who gives a b******s.

“I hope he [Tyson] rattles that little dope [Paul]. No one gives a f*”k about him. How is that even in the f***ing Dallas Stadium? What’s going on?”

Anthony Joshua: PAUL

“He [Mike Tyson] is older now. I pray that he comes out healthy.

“I think Jake Paul [wins] because of youth – that’s the only thing.”

Lennox Lewis: TYSON

“Mike Tyson’s gonna win. He’s not that old. Don’t take him too softly.

“We’re one year apart, you can fight somebody like that and do well, because the person you’re fighting is not a true fighter and there’s a hundred things that you’ve forgotten that he’s learning.”

Logan Paul: PAUL

“Let’s go, Jake! Mike Tyson, you don’t even know.

“You’re messing with the Pauls, bruh. Let’s go, Jake. First-round knockout. Yeet!”

Roy Jones Jr: TYSON

“Mike Tyson by knockout. He should be able to control the whole fight.

“I don’t see Jake Paul doing anything.”

Oscar De La Hoya: UNDECIDED

“If it’s before three, four rounds, I have to go with Tyson by knockout, that one punch knockout.

“If it goes past four rounds, I have to worry about Tyson’s conditioning, and where Jake Paul’s youth can take over.”

Le’Veon Bell: PAUL

“I think he beats Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson is obviously going to look great for his age.

“But at the end of the day, Jake Paul has been doing this, he’s locked in and he got it right now.”

Nate Diaz: TYSON

“I’m with Mike all the way. Mike is the man, you already know. Jake is young and explosive with nothing to lose in every fight.

“That’s what I think he has going for him. Everything is going to switch. He’s the guy that’s supposed to win. I think that will be a little different.”

Teddy Atlas: PAUL

“For one or two rounds could it be a little hairy? Yeah. If he (Tyson) don’t catch him (Paul) … then the gas tank starts to putter… then the young man will have the advantage.

“The question is how much does he have left in his body? 58 (years old) is not the same 58 when I was 21. It’s a different 58, especially if they are not testing him.” 

Larry Holmes: TYSON

“I watched a clip of Mike Tyson this morning, and all I can say is that Jake Paul had better be ready if he’s going to fight Mike. Mike will be able to last the two-minute rounds. Mike comes to fight when he puts his mind to it; he goes to work on you.

“If Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul was a Las Vegas table game I’d be betting all my money on Iron Mike… Mike Tyson doesn’t care about anything. He’ll fight you right now, even though he’s not in any shape. And he’s going to hit you, and when he does that, it’s all over.”

Johnny Nelson: PAUL

“You’ve got youth against an older man that hasn’t got the pace, so if you’ve got someone that’s running rings around you, Mike’s never going to have the energy level to keep up with him or to manhandle him.

“So unless he gets one shot in and Jake Paul is stupid enough to show try toe to toe it there with him, it only takes one how but he has the speed on Mike, he has the youth on Mike, he has the fitness on Mike.”

Amir Khan: TYSON

“I just feel that he can really hurt Jake Paul.

“I just can’t believe what Jake Paul is thinking.”

David Benavidez: TYSON

“Jake Paul, I think he knows he’s got to get ready. We’ll see how it turns out, but hopefully it’s not nothing too crazy.

“That’s the only thing that worries me, bro, but if Mike goes out there and gives Jake a good fight, we’re not gonna be surprised. Mike is a world champion, a fighter at heart. I think it’s gonna be a good fight.”

Manny Pacquiao: TYSON

“(Can Paul beat Tyson?) I don’t think so.”
