Ever since the potential Mike Tyson vs Logan Paul fight news broke out, the entire combat sports fraternity has been on their toes to track every minute development. For now, this contest isn’t official as neither party has confirmed or acknowledged it. However, this hasn’t stopped the fans from drawing massive comparisons between the two.

Also, many feel if this fight happens, there’ll be a round of trash talks. But should Logan Paul really trash talk an elite like ‘Iron’ Mike?

Recently, Paulie Malignaggi opened up on the same and gave an honest take. He said, “Mike is not one of those guys you can play with, though. Like I think Mike is real cool. I’ve met Mike, he’s super cool. But I still think he’s an old-school character in that he demands his respect.”

“Both as a man and now there’s always, something about older men, all the older when they’re old school people and the older guys, they have a, they carry a certain amount of esteem where you respect me because I’m older not just because I’m a man because I’m older.”

In his iconic boxing stint, Mike Tyson never really trash-talked well. ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ was a great fighter who answered his opponents inside the squared circle.

On the other hand, Logan Paul is a true trash talker who went all out against Floyd Mayweather prior to their exhibition outing. However, as there’s a vast gap between Paul and Tyson’s age, the YouTuber turned boxer might not verbally attack the boxing great. But should he share the ring with him and trade blows with him?
