I think Paul by KO - and to be clear, I think he's a grade A d-bag.
Boxing gives a bit of delusion to age, but I think about how fast people fall off in MMA. There is an enormous difference between someone in their 20s vs 50s. Imagine if this were a 100 meter dash? A good high-schooler would outrace the fastest 57 year old ever. I know fighting isn't running, but I use that as a proxy for how athleticism wanes.
Tyson has let himself go for a lot of his retirement. Bernard Hopkins never stopped training, was an incredible outlier, and still the writing was on the wall by the time he was in his late 40s.
Father time is undefeated.
