Meh it's the 60 year old man's decision to fight. Your argument is in the same vein as "you can't fight against a woman". If they want it, so be it.

That's not a fair comparison, age matters, most people don't get smarter or stronger when they grow old. More fair comparison would be "you can't fight against a child", some children are quite strong for their age, as Mike definitely is for his age, and some eager children would surely want to fight against a professional in his prime. But there's no point for said professional to fight them apart from a show match, and you don't destroy children or elders in a show match even of you can.

Other then the fact of "money" I don't see why Tyson did this. He's a fuckin legend and he knows he's better then this hothead youtuber. Paul his boxing pants are worth 1million because it's full of diamonds. How far from reality do you want to live. But whatever.

It's not unheard of for boxers to get in the ring after their prime for exhibition matches. Why wouldn't they want to get more out of their career

I wouldn't fight a woman just because she wants it. I would feel horrible beating her up.

You have to understand that just because someone wants something, it doesn't mean they are thinking straight. You shouldn't take advantage of that.

Bold of you to assume that you wouldn't be the one being beat up.

It can happen, but statistically adult man vs adult woman is not a fair fight.

I knew a guy at university; started going out with this smoking hot girl. She was a regional champ in jujitsu; it didn't last long, turns out she was a violent piece of shit. Beat him up twice, he left after the second one. She had major anger management issues.

But you turn that story around a little, similar situation, girl has same anger management issues, but without the training etc, she is unlikely to be a threat to any adult guy.
