Who's Gonna Win The Tyson Fight?

Tyson's punching power against fellow professionals was legendary. IMO he still has that, if not his former speed and stamina. 

 

Tyson probably still has about 90% of his punching power. So I think we can assume that Paul will never have been hit this hard by anything in the past on any part of his body.
 

On the other hand, Tyson has lots of experience being hit really hard. And Paul's punching power isn't phenomenal. So I don't see how Paul could ever knock out Tyson unless Tyson got into real trouble, which also seems very unlikely. 

 

Speed and stamina might be more of the issue though as you said. We've seen a lot of recent videos showing Tyson training and he looks to still have fantastic speed. But those are only 2 to 3 second clips. So it's hard to know how long Tyson can really keep that up for in a real fight.

 

Most of the knockouts Paul has had against other opponents have been with haymakers. I think even with a slowed down version of Tyson, he is still too fast to be caught out by a haymaker.

I would love it to be Tyson, but at the last outing against Roy Jones, he looked slow, and a shadow of his former self.

That was only an exhibition fight, and there were rules about not being able to knock the other opponent out. So Tyson was just going through the motions in that fight and probably didn't even train much for it.
 

It's hard to say, but I'm not sure if you can use that fight as an example of what Tyson will look like in the ring against Paul. We could see a different version of Tyson today, one that is bigger, stronger and faster than the version you saw fighting against Jones.

I hope for the sake of boxing Tyson wins,it would be unfair if an outsider with a big mouth wins.

Paul had stepped on his foot, which triggered the slap. It is mentioned here:

Tyson can move internal organs in his opponents.

Yep, Paul stepped on Tyson's toes so deserved a slap
