He very well may be 50% but I think people underestimate Paul to some degree. He may have not fought top of the line boxers but he’s fought some pro boxers and held well. His fights with UFC fighters while also not boxers, have been decisive. He’s young, big, and strong and that goes ways. To some degree he also didn’t get knocked out by Mayweather in that farce so that deserves some credit. He’s not totally looking out of place. If he were to fight a legit star he’d be handed it and perhaps would be killed but against an older Tyson it’s going to be very interesting strategically. Tyson still has that speed and if Paul decides to even attempt a flurry, he’s done. Tyson will just dodge and catch him with that one punch. But if Paul defends well and tries to tire Tyson, it’ll be close.
