Mike Tyson is arguably the greatest boxer other than Muhammad Ali. He went to prison, then came back really buff. He became a professional boxer and instantly took over with such hard and strong hits. He became a champion who people thought couldn’t lose. But he grew old and retired. Recently, Jake Paul has made a name for himself not just as an influencer, but as a boxer too. Some people say he stinks and is not a real fighter, while others think he’s good. Jake Paul decided to challenge the 58-year-old Mike Tyson. The fight took place on November 15, 2024. Jake Paul won, but some people say it was rigged because of money and that Mike was old, so it wasn’t fair. We asked some students and staff at EMS who they thought was better, and here is what they said:
- Fox Taylor said, “Mike Tyson in his prime.”
- Alex Schrock said, “Mike Tyson because his voice.”
- Harper Johnson said, “Mike Tyson because I don’t care.”
- Mr. Bayer said, “Mike Tyson because, in his prime, he was one of the greatest boxers of all time.”
- Mrs. Weaver said, “I don’t know; I don’t like either one.”
- Mr. Trout said, “Mike Tyson would kill Jake Paul in his prime.”
- Kal Brown said, “Mike Tyson; he is just overall better.”
- Parker Bishop said, “Mike Tyson because he’s just better.”
- Mr. Heider said, “Mike Tyson because he’s better.”
- Mrs. Bellini said, “Mike Tyson, he bit a dude’s ear off.”
- Abram Funderburk said, “Mike Tyson because I like his voice.”
- Officer Alig said, “Mike Tyson because he’s a real professional boxer.”
