Mike Tyson is back and looking scarier than ever! Forget the years that have passed; the ferocity, the raw power, and the intimidating presence are all still there. Recent footage of Tyson’s intense training sessions has left fans and boxing legends alike in awe — and it’s a major cause for concern for Jake Paul, who’s rumored to be eyeing a potential fight with the boxing legend.

 

But what makes this footage even more jaw-dropping isn’t just Tyson’s raw power. It’s the fact that some of the biggest names in boxing — including Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., and even Joe Rogan — are now speaking out about Jake Paul’s chances against Tyson. And their warnings? Well, let’s just say, they don’t bode well for Jake.

 

 

Tyson’s Ferocity in the Gym: A Different Beast

Mike Tyson has never been known to pull his punches, and his recent training footage is a testament to that. The 58-year-old former heavyweight champ is still throwing punches with the kind of power that could end most fights in a flash. You can see it in the clips: the explosive movement, the precision, and that trademark Tyson aggression — it’s all still there.

 

Despite his age, Tyson’s muscle memory seems sharper than ever, with him delivering devastating combinations and closing the distance on his sparring partners in the blink of an eye. Tyson’s famous peekaboo style — where he ducks and slips punches before launching brutal hooks and uppercuts — still appears to be intact, and his speed remains frightening. It’s clear that even at his age, Tyson’s mind and body are still in sync, making him a true nightmare for anyone who steps into the ring with him.

 

Jake Paul: The Challenge He Doesn’t Realize He’s Facing

Jake Paul might have the youthful edge, but as we’ve seen from his previous fights, there are glaring weaknesses in his game. While he’s made progress, especially with his knockout power, he hasn’t faced a fighter like Mike Tyson. Let’s be honest: Paul has yet to fight anyone with the level of skill and experience that Tyson possesses. When Jake faced Tommy Fury, he lost, and it exposed his vulnerabilities against a fighter with a real boxing pedigree.

 

Tyson, on the other hand, has been through wars with some of the best in the business — Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, and others who were at the top of their game. He’s fought through adversity, he’s been knocked down and got back up, and he knows what it takes to break an opponent mentally. Jake Paul, with all his confidence, hasn’t been tested the way Tyson has been.

 

 

Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., and Joe Rogan Speak Out

It’s one thing for fans to be concerned, but when you have boxing legends like Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., and Joe Rogan — all of whom have witnessed Tyson’s destructive power firsthand — issuing warnings, it speaks volumes.

 

Floyd Mayweather:

Mayweather, one of the greatest defensive boxers of all time, recently weighed in on the potential matchup, saying that while Jake has size and power, Tyson’s experience and his natural ferocity would make it a very one-sided fight. Mayweather knows how difficult it is to face someone with Tyson’s kind of power, and he’s seen it firsthand.

 

Mayweather pointed out that Jake Paul’s best chance would be to stay away from Tyson’s devastating punches, but with Tyson’s relentless pursuit and closing of distance, he doesn’t think Jake has the skills or defense to survive long. Mayweather’s been in the ring with fighters who could punch, but Tyson is another level.

 

Roy Jones Jr.:

Roy Jones Jr., one of the most talented boxers of his generation and a former champion in multiple weight classes, also warned Jake Paul. He emphasized that Tyson’s ability to land punches in rapid succession is unlike anything Jake has faced. Jones noted that Tyson could close the distance with explosive speed, which would leave Jake with no room to maneuver.

 

Jones specifically called out the fact that Jake Paul hasn’t faced anyone who could throw six-punch combinations with the kind of speed and power Tyson is capable of. In a fight with Tyson, Jake wouldn’t just be dealing with one or two punches — it’d be an onslaught.

 

Joe Rogan:

Joe Rogan, the UFC commentator and comedian who’s been a longtime fan of combat sports, had a chilling warning for Jake Paul: Mike Tyson is not someone you can just “outbox.” Rogan spoke on his podcast about Tyson’s legendary fighting IQ and how, even at his age, Tyson’s mind is still sharp enough to defeat opponents who may be physically superior in other ways.

 

Rogan noted that Tyson’s explosiveness is still present, and even though Jake Paul is younger and bigger, it’s hard to ignore the fact that Tyson is still operating on a whole different level. Rogan flat-out stated that Jake Paul should be cautious about underestimating the “real fight” that Tyson brings.

 

 

Jake Paul: Can He Handle Tyson’s Power?

Jake Paul has made his name in boxing by taking on fighters who, let’s face it, haven’t been at Tyson’s level. While Paul might have the power to knock out lesser opponents, he hasn’t been tested by someone who can take that power and deliver it back with interest.

 

Mike Tyson is an all-time great, and his strength, speed, and experience make him an incredibly dangerous opponent — especially when you consider how fast he can close the distance and land combinations that could put most fighters to sleep. Jake Paul is confident, but he’s never faced a fighter like this, and Tyson has decades of experience that Jake just doesn’t have.

 

It’s important to remember, Tyson’s ring IQ is legendary. He’s been in the ring with some of the greatest boxers ever, and if there’s one thing that can’t be overstated — Mike Tyson is one of the most dangerous men to ever step into a boxing ring. Jake Paul might have the size and youth advantage, but against Tyson, it could all come crashing down very quickly.

 

 

Final Thoughts: A Fight Jake Might Not Want to Take

Tyson’s new training footage has proven that he’s not just a relic of the past. The power, the speed, and the mentality are still intact. If Jake Paul seriously plans on stepping into the ring with him, he better come prepared, because Tyson will be coming for him with everything he’s got.

 

And if we take the advice from legends like Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., and Joe Rogan, the story might not end well for Jake Paul. But hey, maybe he’s got something up his sleeve — we’ll just have to wait and see.
