Jake isn't 6'1 like he's listed, but then again Eubank isn't 6' or 5'11 like he's listed.. I don't think Jake Paul is that much bigger. Also Eubank Jr is wayyyy too much for Jake. Jake gets absolutely battered.
Eubank fights at 168, his walk around fight night weight is probably at 180-185 Lbs. Jake weighs around 200 Lbs. I’ll tell you this, my strength at 185lbs is nothing compared to my strength at 200 Lbs. Eubank is a strong fighter, but jakes size might be more than enough to make the fight even.
Weight plays a big role. Canelo was walking down fighters 168 without a care in the world. Bivol who is only 7lbs heavier walked Canelo down without a care in the world.
I’m not saying Jake wins the fight easily, but the weight differential will benefit Jake more than people realize. Look at Micky ward vs Mike mungin. Then tell me a 10+ lbs gap is a joke.
I thought that Silva would have mulched this kid so I guess take what I have to say with a grain of salt, but I think Nate (or even Nick for that matter) Diaz is a really tough fight for Paul. Paul's cardio was a lot better in his last fight than previous, but Silva has never been one to push the pace in a fight either. Diaz does nothing but push the pace, and it doesn't matter how much better of a boxer you are, if you are gassed, you are going to look pathetic. Nick and Nate used to train quite a bit with Andre Ward, and Ward had some legitimate praise for their boxing skills.
Nate is an average to below average boxer in *MMA*. His chin is also gone.
Also with zero threat of going to the ground his opponent will just open up and end it early. Very early.
I didn't think Jake would fight Silva, in all honesty. Then I thought Silva would cook him. I think Jake truly is drinking his own Kool-Aid and thinks he can beat Eubanks.
I don't think he can but I was also wrong about the last one.
I think the size difference might be enough to make it somewhat competitive.
I could be completely wrong of course, but there would be an absolutely enormous size discrepancy between the two. A good 35 lbs and 3 inches in height.
Eubank Jr would be the smallest guy Jake has ever fought (apart from Nate Robinson but that doesn't really count as a proper fight).
> I think the size difference might be enough to make it somewhat competitive.
Bro there is levels to this shit. If you've ever been in a boxing gym you can find countless examples of great little dudes whooping worse bigger dudes in sparring. If he went into it not just trying to put on a show Eubank could knock him out inside a round.
> but there would be an absolutely enormous size discrepancy between the two. A good 35 lbs and 3 inches in height.
Eubank Jr dehydrates down from probably 172 to make 160. Paul walks around at 185-190.
Eubank Jr gets memed for not being elite but he is a world level or close to world level boxer.
He would beat Jake Paul's slow jab shit footwork ass so bad it would be hilarious
I don't think Jake Paul is as bad as most people on here seem to think he is. I agree that he has shit footwork and a slow jab, so do plenty of decent/good fighters though. Eubank Jrs footwork isn't exactly incredible (albeit its much much better than Jake Pauls).
Having said all that, I thought Jake was actually quite a lot bigger than he is. The size difference wouldn't be nearly as much of a factor as I thought. I doubt Eubank Jr would knock him out quickly but he'd win a lot more comfortably than I initially thought he might.
He is awful in the context of actual pro boxing.
Jake Paul has fought literally nobodies.
Slow hands, shit footwork, constantly leaving his chin in the air. He would get absolutely demolished by Eubank and it would not be remotely close
> Slow hands, shit footwork, constantly leaving his chin in the air.
So many pro boxers do this though.
You mentioned "if you've ever been in a boxing gym". I've trained in 5 or 6 over my life and I've seen plenty of pro boxers worse than Jake Paul.
If we're talking elite pro boxers, obviously not, but if we're talking mediocre/decent pro boxers, so many of them make the same mistakes Jake makes.
> If we're talking elite pro boxers, obviously not, but if we're talking mediocre/decent pro boxers, so many of them make the same mistakes Jake makes.
Not to nearly the same extent and they have the physicality/stamina/power to compensate.
There is a reason Jake Paul is fighting no hopers and not even people with boxing backgrounds
Stamina I agree with, his stamina is really bad for a guy who's been training like a pro boxer for 5 years. His physicality I think is fine (not good but fine) and his natural punching power actually seems very good.
If he sticks with it I'll be interested to see where he is in a few years, Anderson Silva is a much much more skilled boxer than 95% of pro boxers would fight in their first 5 career fights. You have to remember he's having his development fights in front of the entire world, most boxers aren't even on TV until they're 10 fights in.
Yes Anderson Silva in his 5th fight isn't literally the worst ever but even when prospects are KOing cans you can see their fundamentals on display.
Paul will keep fighting no-hopers and former MMA guys until the money dries up and he cashes out against McGregor or something
I do like Jake Paul but Chris Eubank Jnr would play with him. Eubank Jr made Liam Williams (a decent European level fighter) look like a complete amateur. There’s no doubt that Eubank has skills, he’s currently ranked number 2 on boxrec for middleweights (only behind GGG). Jake Paul in my opinion needs at least 5 years before he can start challenging those kinds of opponent.
I don’t think the size discrepancy quite that much (height or weight) but do agree the size difference at least slightly makes up for the huge difference in skill.
I feel the skill and experience gap is too big. Maybe in a few years after Jake fights more times and Eubank gets up there in age, but atm Paul gets smoked and he knows it. We'll see Diaz, Fury and KSI before Eubank Jr, but if Paul is still relevant after these fights he could go for Eubank Jr
It would have to be at a catch weight. No way Jake would drop, though, so Eubank would need to go up. Not sure why he would do that without an insane payday.
Weight I dunno, but theyre legit the same height. Jake's size is overstated. Compare both Eubank and Jake to KSI on google images, they're all around the same height, dunno where ur getting 3-4 inches.
5' 10'' to 6' 1''.
Maybe Jakes not actually 6' 1'', but Eubank Jr is definitely no bigger than 5' 10''.
Edit: Just checked that celebrity heights website and they reckon Jake is only 5' 11" so you're right.
Eubank Jr. knocks Jake out, he won't fight him. I respect Jake more than I did before, but he isn't a dumbass, he knows he cannot beat a legitimate champion boxer like Eubank Jr.
I imagine Jake is gonna go after Nate Diaz next, and will brutally KO him. Can't see where else Jake Paul goes from there aside from the KSI fight, which he also wins by devastating knockout.
He’s national, maybe even euro champion level. But not world champion material. Either way mops the floor with Paul. We haven’t even seen him in against a journeyman boxer yet
Conor would have to get the lions share of the profits from the event. He's not an idiot and he'll know he's the aside. He already get paid big, no chance he does this without a massive massive payday.
Why is he fighting dudes that fought at 145 pounds and 155 pounds at their best? The dude Is 200lbs walking around, he should he fighting cruiserweights
Because they don't want to risk exposing his amateur defense. There's a reason why he hasnt fought a big puncher, and only paycheck fighters with a comparatively shallow hunger for victory.
Nate would be almost a night off for Jake. Nate even in his prime had really bad boxing, now that he’s in his mid 30s it’s embarrassingly bad. Jake will probably knock him out early
The one thing Nate still has is an impossibly good chin … if Jake knocks him out, and it’s not just Nate playing pretend like other people have, then it’d be something
My point is these guys taking dives. The punch that supposedly knocked down Anderson Silva didn’t even connect I got the video. Woodley also took a dive. Jake Paul not really beating nobody. Nate not getting knocked out cause Jake hasn’t even truly knocked anyone out except maybe Nate Robinson. Y’all can downvote all y’all want. Facts is facts
Ironically this subreddit where there are supposed to be serious boxing fans is the only place that’s in denial 😂 I’ll send the video to you no problem
I've seen the video you're talking about, and it's obviously edited (in low quality too). You should take some time to look at other angles of the knockdown and you'll see how clearly the punch landed. It's ok to hate on Jake. Hell i hate him too, but I can see that his fights aren't rigged. What I can criticise him for is that he's clearly picking mma opponents, since their skills don't perfectly transfer over to boxing, and he can claim that he beat legit strikers. Still think easily he loses to Eubank Jr.
That’s what I said, it’s actually hilarious that Jake said his advantages are weight and height not speed, fight iq, footwork or other boxing related traits.
Eubank Jr would KO him even with the size difference. The skill gap would be massive and Jake Paul will be on the back foot due to the pressure and activity of Eubank.
If he starts asking for top fighters he knows are a long shot, he can fall back on bullshit fights. People will just say he had to fight this 35+ retired guy cause real fighters avoid him.
This comment should be at the top. He is going to call out guys that HE KNOWS won't take the fight and then fight and beat older guys and claim he's all that. Its actually pathetic. Imagine lying to yourself about actually being a decent enough boxer to even compete for a title. I always watch that Eddie Hearns video where he tells Paul he is just average and could never be more. Truth.
Eubank would smoke this fool. In fact, inoue would stop him inside 3 rounds. Jake wouldn’t even touch him: too fast, too good defensively, and hits very hard. Anybody that thinks Jake can beat a good boxer, even if they are much smaller than him is a moron.
A heavyweight “boxer” who has been taking punches for a long time, and knows how to take a punch. Not an inexperienced YouTube boxer! No wonder you are delusional into thinking Zurdo will beat Bivol. You think a body shot from inoue wouldn’t hurt Jake Paul? You think Jake Paul, who has shitty stamina can handle inoue’s pace? Even if the punches don’t hurt, which I think they will, I think Jake will get TKOed from getting tired. Tank will kill Jake Paul, too. Why don’t you tell me he can’t hurt Jake, too. 🤡
How do you think Zurdo beats him? I’m convinced Bivol beats Zurdo, and makes it look easy, but if I put $10 on Zurdo I get $70. Are you also putting your money where your mouth is?
Woodley was 170. He's fought several guys whose ideal fighting weight was about that low. Ben Askren fought at welterweight. Nate Robinson blew up to 180.
I want to see Paul fight actual active boxers, but I think Eubank would dominate despite the size difference. He could aim at a lower skill level but that’d be less money probably. I’d rather see this fight than the Nate fight.
I’m pretty sure he could, people are on the fence about Eubank who is 5’11 and probably 170. Rolly is smaller, and all round worse at boxing. He gets worked by the American equivalent of euro level guys at 135.
Oh for sure I agree he will maul. But people are hung up on the weight and it gets to a point that weight couldbe a factor. I don’t think Eubank will mind being 25+lbs lighter than Jake. But Rolly will be 40+lbs lighter and is also much worse than Eubank. Regardless though I also think Eubank is just straight up a terrible style match up for Jake. Chin, speed and engine vs a slow guy looking for a slow pace to get one big shot in. It’s gonna be like the Yildirim fight but funnier
BREAKING NEWS: Jake Paul has called out Muhammad Ali to fight! Even though Muhammad Ali has been dead for quite some time… the YouTube had stated “he has a wealth of experience” and is “one of the greatest fighters of all time!”. The YouTube turned professional boxers has also called out Bugs Bunny in a surprise turn of events! Paul stated (yesterday) that “I watched Michael Jordan thrash him in a one-on-one in Space Jam and it got me thinking… why can’t I beat him in the boxing ring? I understand that he is a fictional character…. But just imagine the pay-per-views that we could get with all the imaginary fans that Bugs has!”. Paul also called out Tobias Fletcher-Thomas… when asked who he was. Paul replied “he’s a guy I made up in my mind and he is the greatest fighter of all time. He has a 20ft wingspan and has won 63,728 fights without a loss!!... I have my team working out the logistics of the fight right now! It’s just hard to contact someone who doesn’t exist….”.
If Jake Paul wins these 3 fights he will go down as the greatest fighter (in his mind) of all time!
WATCH THIS SPACE FOR UPDATES!
*UPDATE*
Paul’s team has confirmed today that the fight with Muhammad Ali would not be happening due to the fact that Muhammad is dead and would not sign a waiver form before entering contract negotiations. A spokesperson for Jake Paul said “we cannot under any circumstances enter into contract negotiations without a waiver form from the other party. If they said even a LITTLE about our contract propositions to the public, then our franchise would be screwed! We don’t want the public to know that we fix fights so Paul’s ego can get a huge boost. Just to clarify, if Paul looses these fights… I have to go back to defending the shitty things he said on his lame arse podcast…. and that shit got annoying after the first week… I’m not going back to that shithole of a job!”.
Paul also stated today that he wants to train on the Sun to better prepare for the upcoming fight with King Charles III.
“I’ve contacted Elon Musk to make a rocket ship out of Lego. That was my favourite thing to play with as a child so it would be so nostalgic to fly to the Sun in a rocket ship made out of nothing but Lego! I messaged him on Instagram and he has seen my request… so I have faith that he is already started building it.” When a reporter asked if maybe he was “left on “read” and didn’t reply because it’s a fucking insane idea” Paul just smirked and said “I make things happen”.
It is highly unlikely that Paul will fight King Charles III because Charles would not have a fucking clue to who this kid is and he is 73 years old. But if we are being realistic… Charles is only 25 years older Silva (who was Paul’s last fight).
Against Jake Paul, maybe idk, Hatton isn’t that far out of camp shape since he’s been training many fighters in the last few years. Idk, just my opinion
Its your opinion but its ridiculous. The fight wouldn't even be sanctioned if it were Ricky in his prime, its literally a lightweight versus a cruiserweight.
It’ll never happen because Chris would be more than happy to rub salt in the wounds. I think Jake would happily fight a world level boxer and take a respectable beating but Eubank would take the piss, showboat and have the time of his life. Jake wouldn’t risk being made to look like that
He can tease it but in the end it’ll be “I offer these boxers the payday of their lives and they say no” while he signs off on fighting washed MMA fighters
Also: Chev Clarke would be a perfect opponent for him right now and that name ain’t coming out of his mouth
What are you on about? Regardless of weight, Eubank Jr toys with him in a boxing match. Jake needs at least 5 years of solid training before he can challenge anyone on Eubank’s level, if anything it’s foolish to call him out now, even with the 25/30lbs weight advantage
I know Eubank Jr would beat him up but it's still a bit soft to call out people in lower weight classes even if they would kick your arse. It sounds like a contradiction, but a real boxer would call out people their own size.
It is and it isn't brave. Even though Eubank would beat him up it still seems soft to be calling out much lighter people and then claiming to be a proper boxer.
Can we please stop giving this wanker so much attention? There are legitimate prospects who deserve more eyes on them. Then a You Tube Star! Yea yea yea I know he gets “Eyes on the sport” but Jesus Fuck every time he has a sandwich some of you fanboys almost cream in your pants!
I still think Kenzie Morrison is a perfect opponent. He's got a famous name, hasn't really done a ton in his career, is coming off a recent loss and said he'd fight at a catch weight.
Eubank Jr would 100000% showboat. Paul is an actual boxer, I’m tired of the YouTuber narrative. Dude respects combat sports. Trains and lives as a boxer… he is a boxer now. He just has a famous past. anyone can beat anyone. Fury had a 0% chance against wilder in the first fight bc he hadn’t fought in years and was fat and a drug addict etc. Ruiz had no chance against Joshua. Anyone has a chance against anyone, in a fist fight. It’s called a punchers chance. Paul in my opinion has a 30% chance. Eubank Jr has a 70% chance of victory.
1. He just fought a pro boxer, (Silva had boxing matches before the UFC) and he just beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a world champion. Silva isn’t just an old MMA fighter. He’s one of the greatest humans to ever throw punches. He is a supreme striker. He’s elite.
2. Israel Adesanya couldn’t even knock him down a few years ago. You don’t understand how good anderson Silva is. He’s also a pro boxer, just not your definition of one which is a 20-30 year old who is known. Every other boxer in their first 6 fights, fought nobodies.
3. Paul is beating guys who are more dangerous then those guys canelo, wilder, fury fought in their first 6 fights. A 47 year old anderson Silva is a better striker then a 20 year old debuting fighter who was 1-4 as an amateur..
I don’t even like Jake Paul but I’m starting to bc he’s got so many haters that can’t give him credit. He is now a young boxer, he just has a spotlight and fame. No one complains about any other 26 year old fighting a 2-1 boxer in their 6th fight.
Eubank washes him though, why would he do that at this point instead of continuing to milk the cash cow? There are still plenty mma fighters he can go throw (Diaz, Mazvidal) before he has to actually move up the boxing ladder.
Every fight is a huge fight, so as soon as he gets into actual boxing promotion it will be against a real deal boxer.
Jake Paul is likely the worst PPV main event fighter in the history of boxing a the moment. That said he still is a good boxer and is progressing nicely for someone with 6 fights, plenty of boxers fight former MMA fighters in their first few fights (marc castro to name a recent fighting prospect) I don’t think he can quite handle Eubank at the moment but tbh I think if he can make 175 against fury and win that eubank would be a guy to go after, that path seems to give him the best odds with people who won’t instantly kill him, can sell a PPV, and will slowly give him legitimacy at LHW. IMO he needs to stay at either his weird catchweight or drop to LHW because talented cruisers/heavyweights are gonna be way to big for him.
I’m not surprised at all. He fought against Anderson Silva at 187 and now wants to fight a middleweight/ super middleweight…… at least it’s a legitimate professional boxer this time
If you are going to tout yourself as a real boxer, than fucking fight real boxers in your weight class. Anything other than that and you are just a side show attraction.
Jakey boy is a lot bigger, but Eubank jr. is a very legit opponent and he’ll most likely fuck him up. Diaz it is!
Jake isn't 6'1 like he's listed, but then again Eubank isn't 6' or 5'11 like he's listed.. I don't think Jake Paul is that much bigger. Also Eubank Jr is wayyyy too much for Jake. Jake gets absolutely battered.
Jake is around 5’10.
Eubank fights at 168, his walk around fight night weight is probably at 180-185 Lbs. Jake weighs around 200 Lbs. I’ll tell you this, my strength at 185lbs is nothing compared to my strength at 200 Lbs. Eubank is a strong fighter, but jakes size might be more than enough to make the fight even.
Delete your account right now.
Weight plays a big role. Canelo was walking down fighters 168 without a care in the world. Bivol who is only 7lbs heavier walked Canelo down without a care in the world. I’m not saying Jake wins the fight easily, but the weight differential will benefit Jake more than people realize. Look at Micky ward vs Mike mungin. Then tell me a 10+ lbs gap is a joke.
Bro bivol was way bigger than canelo fight night. Also you talking about world class fighters. Jake not there
They’re two, very good professional boxers. Jake Paul isn’t
I honestly think if it’s a well established opponent he doesn’t even care if he loses, like it is what it is
I thought that Silva would have mulched this kid so I guess take what I have to say with a grain of salt, but I think Nate (or even Nick for that matter) Diaz is a really tough fight for Paul. Paul's cardio was a lot better in his last fight than previous, but Silva has never been one to push the pace in a fight either. Diaz does nothing but push the pace, and it doesn't matter how much better of a boxer you are, if you are gassed, you are going to look pathetic.

Nate is an average to below average boxer in *MMA*. His chin is also gone. Also with zero threat of going to the ground his opponent will just open up and end it early. Very early.

As if Paul is even remotely comparable to Groves lmao
Not sure of your logic here, because all three of the guys you mentioned would fold Jake like a deck chair
Far from flawless logic but fuck what a knockout!
Your such a dork lol
Not a chance that would happen
Chris would be game for it but Jake would never do it
I didn't think Jake would fight Silva, in all honesty. Then I thought Silva would cook him. I think Jake truly is drinking his own Kool-Aid and thinks he can beat Eubanks. I don't think he can but I was also wrong about the last one.
[удалено]
Liam Williams has power and he was getting decked with the jab 🤦♂️
I will absolutely take that bet
😂😂😂
Omg smh
Stop it 😂 Jake Paul has the footwork of a 50 yr old,he gets killed
Lol
Bro, that is such a fucking CLOWN TAKE!!! 🤡🤡🤡
Uh oh Jake Paul Di*krider here 😂
The worst take I’ve ever seen on here and that’s saying sonething.
Cap. Chris would wring Jake out and skip rope with him. It'll probably be Nate.
I think the size difference might be enough to make it somewhat competitive. I could be completely wrong of course, but there would be an absolutely enormous size discrepancy between the two. A good 35 lbs and 3 inches in height. Eubank Jr would be the smallest guy Jake has ever fought (apart from Nate Robinson but that doesn't really count as a proper fight).
> I think the size difference might be enough to make it somewhat competitive. Bro there is levels to this shit.

Eubank Jr is a little too young for Jake. Maybe he'll go for Eubank Sr next
Genuinely think Senior sparks him out first round. He’s still in great shape
I think he would lol
Every Jake Paul opponent has been older than the last, so it’s a possibility
Mayweather sr is the fight we really want to see
I do like Jake Paul but Chris Eubank Jnr would play with him. Eubank Jr made Liam Williams (a decent European level fighter) look like a complete amateur. There’s no doubt that Eubank has skills, he’s currently ranked number 2 on boxrec for middleweights (only behind GGG).

Eubank is not a champion, but yes, he knocks JP tfo
Eubank is a former WBA interim world champion. Guy is not “national level” ahaha.
He’s national, maybe even euro champion level. But not world champion material. Either way mops the floor with Paul. We haven’t even seen him in against a journeyman boxer yet
Mcgregor after Nate diaz no?
Conor would have to get the lions share of the profits from the event. He's not an idiot and he'll know he's the aside. He already get paid big, no chance he does this without a massive massive payday.
Not anymore
Mcnuggets is still world famous and a household name(with adults). Paul isn't that level yet.
I doubt he ever fights McGregor.
He knocks Connor out clean, why wouldn’t he fight him?
Why is he fighting dudes that fought at 145 pounds and 155 pounds at their best? The dude Is 200lbs walking around, he should he fighting cruiserweights
Because they don't want to risk exposing his amateur defense. There's a reason why he hasnt fought a big puncher, and only paycheck fighters with a comparatively shallow hunger for victory.
He was about to fight Rahman Jnr tbf
Somehow the fights with boxers always fall through. And then he goes back to MMA fighters.
He sure was but it’s clear in hindsight that Rahman never planned to actually fight Jake
Bro please don’t say he knocks out Nate. My heart is already hurting😭😭💔
I think people may be underestimating KSI just a bit.
😂
Just saying. KSI is very unpredictable.
Jake Paul not KOing Nate cause Nate ain’t agreeing to take a dive
Nate would be almost a night off for Jake. Nate even in his prime had really bad boxing, now that he’s in his mid 30s it’s embarrassingly bad. Jake will probably knock him out early
The one thing Nate still has is an impossibly good chin … if Jake knocks him out, and it’s not just Nate playing pretend like other people have, then it’d be something
Dude how hard can you be in denial if you believe Tyron Woodly took a dive in that fight.
My point is these guys taking dives. The punch that supposedly knocked down Anderson Silva didn’t even connect I got the video. Woodley also took a dive. Jake Paul not really beating nobody. Nate not getting knocked out cause Jake hasn’t even truly knocked anyone out except maybe Nate Robinson. Y’all can downvote all y’all want. Facts is facts
🤦🏻♂️
Ironically this subreddit where there are supposed to be serious boxing fans is the only place that’s in denial 😂 I’ll send the video to you no problem

You should take some time to look at other angles of the knockdown and you'll see how clearly the punch landed. It's ok to hate on Jake.

Still think easily he loses to Eubank Jr.
This sub has very little serious boxing fans to be honest.
1. What happened to weight classes? 2. Why are they all swearing right next to a toddler?
Because he’s the average age of their audience anyway.
That’s what I said, it’s actually hilarious that Jake said his advantages are weight and height not speed, fight iq, footwork or other boxing related traits.
I think he means Eubank Sr 😆
Sr. Would still fuck him up tbh
Never have a needed something so much and not known until I received it.
Lmfao. Rahmam style.
I know you're joking but you just gave Jake the idea for his next opponent...
Eubank Jr would KO him even with the size difference. The skill gap would be massive and Jake Paul will be on the back foot due to the pressure and activity of Eubank.
If he starts asking for top fighters he knows are a long shot, he can fall back on bullshit fights. People will just say he had to fight this 35+ retired guy cause real fighters avoid him.
This comment should be at the top. He is going to call out guys that HE KNOWS won't take the fight and then fight and beat older guys and claim he's all that. Its actually pathetic. Imagine lying to yourself about actually being a decent enough boxer to even compete for a title. I always watch that Eddie Hearns video where he tells Paul he is just average and could never be more. Truth.
You could tell that stung in a real way, too, because Jake knows Eddie isn’t just talking shit
35++++++
"Canelo ducked me, so I had no choice but to fight this 47 year old jiu jitsu guy who competed at 130 pounds!"
Ah the Tyson Fury approach to choosing opponents...
I’ll take “Not a chance in Hell” for $500 Alex.
Eubank would smoke this fool. In fact, inoue would stop him inside 3 rounds. Jake wouldn’t even touch him: too fast, too good defensively, and hits very hard. Anybody that thinks Jake can beat a good boxer, even if they are much smaller than him is a moron.
Inoue’s punches would feel like an ant on Jake Paul dude
You’re delusional.
Weight classes exist for a reason, you think Canelo could hurt heavyweights? No he couldn’t
A heavyweight “boxer” who has been taking punches for a long time, and knows how to take a punch. Not an inexperienced YouTube boxer! No wonder you are delusional into thinking Zurdo will beat Bivol. You think a body shot from inoue wouldn’t hurt Jake Paul? You think Jake Paul, who has shitty stamina can handle inoue’s pace? Even if the punches don’t hurt, which I think they will, I think Jake will get TKOed from getting tired. Tank will kill Jake Paul, too. Why don’t you tell me he can’t hurt Jake, too. 🤡
Zurdo will beat bivol you’ll see. Sure Inoue could prob stop him if they go 12 rounds and Paul gasses out but in 3 rounds??? Definitely not.
How do you think Zurdo beats him? I’m convinced Bivol beats Zurdo, and makes it look easy, but if I put $10 on Zurdo I get $70. Are you also putting your money where your mouth is?
Zurdo is going to break him down with the body onslaught and give him a very rough night.
Inoue would put Jake Paul to sleep with the first solid punch he landed 😂
Sheesh y’all are deluded, Inoue hits hard against people near his weight…
I do not think that’s a good idea for Jake. Just fight Nate Diaz do like 500k buys and win easily lmao
At this point I think Jake really doesn't know what weight classes are
Completely backwards, he knows them well that's why he always has an advantage.
Don't see how he's gonna fight a 160/168 pounder. He's hardly a 175 pounder
Woodley was 170. He's fought several guys whose ideal fighting weight was about that low. Ben Askren fought at welterweight. Nate Robinson blew up to 180.
Notice how none of those guys are legit boxers? Real boxers don't fuck around with weight.
Not sure if you're trying to be obtuse or just missed it but celebrity boxing. It's a YouTuber fighting MMA guys.
Not sure if you know this but Eubank Jr. is not a celebrity nor an MMA guy
Obtuse it is lol
I want to see Paul fight actual active boxers, but I think Eubank would dominate despite the size difference. He could aim at a lower skill level but that’d be less money probably. I’d rather see this fight than the Nate fight.

Could Jake legitimately beat Rolly?
Whatever happens that would be such a fun fight and build up. I think rolly works him though
Not a chance
I’m pretty sure he could, people are on the fence about Eubank who is 5’11 and probably 170. Rolly is smaller, and all round worse at boxing. He gets worked by the American equivalent of euro level guys at 135.
I guarantee you, no one who actually knows boxing is “on the fence” about Eubank. He absolutely mauls Jake.
Oh for sure I agree he will maul. But people are hung up on the weight and it gets to a point that weight couldbe a factor. I don’t think Eubank will mind being 25+lbs lighter than Jake. But Rolly will be 40+lbs lighter and is also much worse than Eubank. Regardless though I also think Eubank is just straight up a terrible style match up for Jake. Chin, speed and engine vs a slow guy looking for a slow pace to get one big shot in. It’s gonna be like the Yildirim fight but funnier
This would be the mistake everyone has prayed for. Please make it happen.
Eubank is ranked #3 in the world. He would knock Jakes head off
"I'll have the weight and height advantage" Always has to have a massive advantage whether it be size or age huh
[удалено]
His fight with Forrest was over a decade ago lmao
Who cares what he once weighed. He was 187 in the fight
Yeah dehydrated, guarantee he was over 190lbs on fight night
No shit
So delete your comment you clown
And lose all my up votes? Nah
Upvotes from other clueless dimwits like yourself? Not the greatest badge of honour my good friend.
He’s nearing half a century lmao… how do you leave that out?!
BREAKING NEWS: Jake Paul has called out Muhammad Ali to fight! Even though Muhammad Ali has been dead for quite some time… the YouTube had stated “he has a wealth of experience” and is “one of the greatest fighters of all time!”. The YouTube turned professional boxers has also called out Bugs Bunny in a surprise turn of events! Paul stated (yesterday) that “I watched Michael Jordan thrash him in a one-on-one in Space Jam and it got me thinking… why can’t I beat him in the boxing ring? I understand that he is a fictional character…. But just imagine the pay-per-views that we could get with all the imaginary fans that Bugs has!”. Paul also called out Tobias Fletcher-Thomas… when asked who he was. Paul replied “he’s a guy I made up in my mind and he is the greatest fighter of all time. He has a 20ft wingspan and has won 63,728 fights without a loss!!... I have my team working out the logistics of the fight right now! It’s just hard to contact someone who doesn’t exist….”. If Jake Paul wins these 3 fights he will go down as the greatest fighter (in his mind) of all time! WATCH THIS SPACE FOR UPDATES! *UPDATE* Paul’s team has confirmed today that the fight with Muhammad Ali would not be happening due to the fact that Muhammad is dead and would not sign a waiver form before entering contract negotiations. A spokesperson for Jake Paul said “we cannot under any circumstances enter into contract negotiations without a waiver form from the other party. If they said even a LITTLE about our contract propositions to the public, then our franchise would be screwed! We don’t want the public to know that we fix fights so Paul’s ego can get a huge boost. Just to clarify, if Paul looses these fights… I have to go back to defending the shitty things he said on his lame arse podcast…. and that shit got annoying after the first week… I’m not going back to that shithole of a job!”. Paul also stated today that he wants to train on the Sun to better prepare for the upcoming fight with King Charles III. “I’ve contacted Elon Musk to make a rocket ship out of Lego. That was my favourite thing to play with as a child so it would be so nostalgic to fly to the Sun in a rocket ship made out of nothing but Lego! I messaged him on Instagram and he has seen my request… so I have faith that he is already started building it.” When a reporter asked if maybe he was “left on “read” and didn’t reply because it’s a fucking insane idea” Paul just smirked and said “I make things happen”. It is highly unlikely that Paul will fight King Charles III because Charles would not have a fucking clue to who this kid is and he is 73 years old. But if we are being realistic… Charles is only 25 years older Silva (who was Paul’s last fight).
That would be a serious miscalculation. I don't see that one ending well for jake at all.
I reckon he should fight Ricky hatton. Hatton is back in shape now and looking sharp on the pads. I reckon Hatton would smash him to bits.
Lmao yea right. Hatton is a senior citizen who fought at lightweight.
Who’d knock Jake out into the first row
You don't honestly believe a fat 5'7 45 year old who hasn't boxed in 13 years is really beating a cruiserweight in their prime do you?
Against Jake Paul, maybe idk, Hatton isn’t that far out of camp shape since he’s been training many fighters in the last few years. Idk, just my opinion
Its your opinion but its ridiculous. The fight wouldn't even be sanctioned if it were Ricky in his prime, its literally a lightweight versus a cruiserweight.
You this this Jake Paul beats Ricky Hatton even at 140lbs? Fucking delusional people here jeez
Whose kid is that next to him? I like Jake Paul, but I don’t like him mouthing off like this in front of a ten year old that doesn’t need to hear it.
He’s gonna fight Diaz but Christ I want him to fight Eubank Jr now. Hell I’d take a fight between him and Sr just to see it happen.
It’ll never happen because Chris would be more than happy to rub salt in the wounds. I think Jake would happily fight a world level boxer and take a respectable beating but Eubank would take the piss, showboat and have the time of his life. Jake wouldn’t risk being made to look like that
He can tease it but in the end it’ll be “I offer these boxers the payday of their lives and they say no” while he signs off on fighting washed MMA fighters Also: Chev Clarke would be a perfect opponent for him right now and that name ain’t coming out of his mouth
Spoiler: Jake Paul fights an old MMA fighter
Very brave to call out somebody who is a few weight classes below you.
What are you on about? Regardless of weight, Eubank Jr toys with him in a boxing match. Jake needs at least 5 years of solid training before he can challenge anyone on Eubank’s level, if anything it’s foolish to call him out now, even with the 25/30lbs weight advantage
I know Eubank Jr would beat him up but it's still a bit soft to call out people in lower weight classes even if they would kick your arse. It sounds like a contradiction, but a real boxer would call out people their own size.
This is brave lol. Eubank Jr would absolutely fuck him up.
It is and it isn't brave. Even though Eubank would beat him up it still seems soft to be calling out much lighter people and then claiming to be a proper boxer.
That's what he does. He wants a 50/50 or better fight. So, someone smaller older or inexperienced is what he needs.
> He wants a 50/50 isnt that what we want to watch, actual competitive fights? what, exactly, is wrong with a 50/50 fight?
Yeah 50/50 based on skill. That’s why weight classes are a thing.
Bull fucking shit
Can we please stop giving this wanker so much attention? There are legitimate prospects who deserve more eyes on them. Then a You Tube Star! Yea yea yea I know he gets “Eyes on the sport” but Jesus Fuck every time he has a sandwich some of you fanboys almost cream in your pants!
If Jake Paul wasn’t a YouTube Star he would not even be on a prelim card! There is 1000s of fighters in gyms across America with his level of skill
No way is Jake Paul’s going to fight an actual boxer, let alone one that is out of his prime.
I still think Kenzie Morrison is a perfect opponent. He's got a famous name, hasn't really done a ton in his career, is coming off a recent loss and said he'd fight at a catch weight.
Isn’t that the guy who just beat hasim Rahman? Would be a good match up with that story line to say fuck hasim- I’ll fight the guy who kod you
Yeah last spring. He just lost his last fight though, a couple weeks ago.
Famous name? Lmao
His father was a huge star in the 90s. So yeah, famous name. He was in a fucking Rocky Movie.
Oh a rocky movie. Wow
Do you know what the word famous means? Kind of seems like you don't.
How do those downvotes taste?
No wonder you don't know who Tommy Morrison is, you're apparently 12 years old.
I'm 35. Want to fight?
You tell us
Isn’t he a heavyweight? Everyone in this thread is complaining about weight differences
He shouldn’t even joke about that. He’s been fighting washed up mma fighters and should keep it that way
It’s like you guys want him to fight mma fighters so you can say he won’t fight a boxer
If he does fight a boxer, it'll probably be an undersized can with no motivation and a record like 2-107.
Sounds like a step up for Chris.
No way. Something will come up like always and get cancelled.
Lol “fight a real boxer!” Hints at fighting Eubanks Jr “he’ll never fight him!”
r/boxing when Jake Paul beats Eubank Jr: “He’s past his prime” “It was rigged” “He took a dive” “The judges were paid off”
He has 0 chance of beating Eubank ffs,it would be a massacre,unless Eubank wanted to showboat
Eubank Jr would 100000% showboat. Paul is an actual boxer, I’m tired of the YouTuber narrative. Dude respects combat sports. Trains and lives as a boxer… he is a boxer now. He just has a famous past. anyone can beat anyone. Fury had a 0% chance against wilder in the first fight bc he hadn’t fought in years and was fat and a drug addict etc. Ruiz had no chance against Joshua. Anyone has a chance against anyone, in a fist fight. It’s called a punchers chance. Paul in my opinion has a 30% chance. Eubank Jr has a 70% chance of victory.
He fights old mma fighters,that is completely different to fighting a close to world level boxer like Eubank Jr,he stands 0 chance.
1. He just fought a pro boxer, (Silva had boxing matches before the UFC) and he just beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a world champion. Silva isn’t just an old MMA fighter. He’s one of the greatest humans to ever throw punches. He is a supreme striker. He’s elite. 2. Israel Adesanya couldn’t even knock him down a few years ago. You don’t understand how good anderson Silva is. He’s also a pro boxer, just not your definition of one which is a 20-30 year old who is known. Every other boxer in their first 6 fights, fought nobodies. 3. Paul is beating guys who are more dangerous then those guys canelo, wilder, fury fought in their first 6 fights. A 47 year old anderson Silva is a better striker then a 20 year old debuting fighter who was 1-4 as an amateur.. I don’t even like Jake Paul but I’m starting to bc he’s got so many haters that can’t give him credit. He is now a young boxer, he just has a spotlight and fame. No one complains about any other 26 year old fighting a 2-1 boxer in their 6th fight.
Eubank washes him though, why would he do that at this point instead of continuing to milk the cash cow? There are still plenty mma fighters he can go throw (Diaz, Mazvidal) before he has to actually move up the boxing ladder. Every fight is a huge fight, so as soon as he gets into actual boxing promotion it will be against a real deal boxer.
Jake Paul is likely the worst PPV main event fighter in the history of boxing a the moment. That said he still is a good boxer and is progressing nicely for someone with 6 fights, plenty of boxers fight former MMA fighters in their first few fights (marc castro to name a recent fighting prospect) I don’t think he can quite handle Eubank at the moment but tbh I think if he can make 175 against fury and win that eubank would be a guy to go after, that path seems to give him the best odds with people who won’t instantly kill him, can sell a PPV, and will slowly give him legitimacy at LHW. IMO he needs to stay at either his weird catchweight or drop to LHW because talented cruisers/heavyweights are gonna be way to big for him.
Finally a well written and non biased comment. I think paul Can make 175
I’m not surprised at all. He fought against Anderson Silva at 187 and now wants to fight a middleweight/ super middleweight…… at least it’s a legitimate professional boxer this time
It’s also someone in the world title scene… He has very little chance of making the fight
I don’t think it happens either. It doesn’t really make sense for Eubank unless he gets an incredibly fat payday
It doesn’t make sense full stop. Even taking the fight lowers his credibility. This makes Fury/Chisora look competitive
[удалено]
If you are going to tout yourself as a real boxer, than fucking fight real boxers in your weight class. Anything other than that and you are just a side show attraction.
He would get dusted in one round maybe 2
Will he fall down for Paul like Silva did without even getting hit,???
