My daughter wants me to come out of retirement and face Jake Paul, she believes I'd do better than Mike Tyson.

Paul, the popular YouTuber-turned-boxer, seems to be a hot topic in the boxing world lately. His recent victory over Mike Tyson has caught the attention of many, including former world champion Johnny Nelson's daughter. She believes that her father could have put up a better fight against Paul than Tyson did.

The 58-year-old Tyson struggled in the ring against the 27-year-old Paul, who easily won by points. This has led to other boxers, such as Artur Beterbiev and Daniel Dubois, calling out Paul on social media and even inviting him to step into the ring with them. Tony Bellew, a retired British star, also made his way to Dallas to challenge Paul, while another former world champion, Carl Froch, has engaged in a war of words with the YouTuber.

Nelson, who retired from boxing in 2005, still holds the record for the longest reign as cruiserweight champion. As a chief boxing pundit for Sky Sports, he believes that he could have taken on Paul as well, but jokes that he may not be a big enough name for the self-proclaimed "future of boxing". He also admits that calling out Paul for a fight would be embarrassing and desperate, and that he is not interested in hopping on the "gravy train" like other retired boxers seem to be doing.

Nelson's daughter had urged him to start shouting out Paul's name after watching the fight with Tyson. However, the former champion believes that he would only step into the ring if he knew he could beat Paul, not just for the money. He also points out that other retired boxers, like Froch, Bellew, and Dubois, are also trying to capitalize on the opportunity to face Paul and make some quick cash.

In the midst of all this, it is clear that Paul has become a hot commodity in the boxing world, with everyone trying to get a piece of the action. Nelson, who is now an ambassador for Proper Nutrition, believes that it is important to focus on one's own abilities rather than jumping on the "gravy train". So, while Paul may have people queuing up to fight him, it seems that some, like Nelson, are content with watching from the sidelines.
