I said under 38, that was a starter who still plays. I even said she could play on some boys basketball teams. I'm not really even sure why that is an outlandish take. She's a great great player but we are talking about basketball which is one of the most difficult sports for women to compete against men in.
You think Mahomes at 37 loses to Clark one on one? It might be kinda close at 37 but Mahomes would absolutely smoke her right now if he was regularly playing bball.
If we were talking about golf, tennis, ping pong the gap is much smaller.
Did you play basketball in high school? Did you not ever compete against the players on the girls team? I can't even begin to compare the gap. I only played freshman and sophomore basketball before I quit because no way in hell was I making varsity. Granted my school won the state title when I was a senior but the girls team was Top 5 in state, too. [Reply]

To clarify, I thought this fight wasn't going to happen. Looks like it will. I don't think Paul is deserving of winning. I don't think he will. I wouldn't put it past Tyson to treat this like a real fight and try and push Paul to round 4 with jabs, tie ups and occasionally body shots. Then Tyson goes absolutely nuts with left hooks rights to the body and then an uppercut. Lather, rinse repeat. Paul is top heavy and not all that fast. Tyson hates white boxers and Internet bros with a passion. This is a race war to him and probably his last boxing match. He has the most to win and the least to lose. I bet Paul definitely has horse cum in his veins for this one while Tyson probably just gets his knees shot up with whatever, pops a nugenix and is master of his domain for a month. [Reply]

I love how you say “any guy” and then cite Mahomes as an example and admit it might be “kinda close” when he’s that age.
Troll better or be less stupid. I’m not even sure which it is at this point. [Reply]
I really don't want to see this happen. Tyson was an icon while I was growing up and would hate to see him go out on a low note. Also, met him at a bar once and chatted it up for about an hour. The guy is as cool and humble as you can be as long as your not wearing boxing gloves and in a ring with him.
I think Tyson's knocking out Paul this weekend would be more satisfying than Chenal's blocking a Tyler Bass game-winning FG with time expiring. [Reply]
Unfortunately I think Tyson goes down but Id love to see him win.
I don't really see how a 58 year old man beats up a 27 year old man. We aren't talking about any 27 year old. We are talking about someone who is at least a trained fighter. Doesn't have to be great, just good enough. [Reply]

It would be unfortunately Tyson was losing to guys provably worse than Paul 20 years ago [Reply]
This is an officially sanctioned boxing match. Does that mean it’s in the up and up? The best man wins, not a victor is already decided. I’d like to bet some money on Tyson. [Reply]
