OT: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson on Netflix

[BadNewsBarnes]

No one was going to get knocked out with 14 ounce gloves. Paul still hasn't fought a viable opponent yet...

[Butch718]

Jake Paul would get knocked out by any legit top 20 Heavy Weight, Cruiser Weight or even light heavy weight or super middleweight.

It’s pretty embarrassing to see him fight all these nobodies or in last nights case a 58 year old legend.

Canelo would smoke this dude in less than 1 round. I would legit love to watch that. I am sick of this guy making a mockery of the sport. He is not a legit pro by any means and would get exposed quickly by any decent professional boxer that’s currently active.

[Butch718]

Jake looks stupid out there with Mike. But I can understand and respect Mike being humble enough to challenge himself by taking this fight. I don’t think this does anything for Jake Paul’s legacy.

Legacy? LMAO

[MrDollarBills]

Canelo would literally cripple Jake Paul. Chill.

I didn't watch this fight, but i would pay $100 to watch Jake Paul be turned into a vegetable by Saul

Or any actual ranked fighter tbh.

I can't watch these garbage ass fights. Dude is gutless.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

I didn't watch the fight, but I did see their weights and Jake is now a heavyweight. There's absolutely nobody in the top 50 heavyweights that he could beat, nor any cruiserweights.

I don't know what people were expecting, Tysons last fight he quit on his stool against a journeyman and that was 20 years ago. He's a 58 year old man whose body has been ravaged by boxing and substance abuse.

nah, i wouldn't watch it. it would be brutality.

jake paul looks like a high level club fighter and ladder match for real pros. that's not to discredit anything he's done. he deserves some respect because he is indeed better than a celebrity boxing fighter. but he's a long way from being anything other than a tomato can for ranked pros and fighters on that trajectory.

missed the undercard because i was catching up on the knicks game recording right up until the main event. heard it was a great fight.

not only is there no ranked heavyweight that won't put him in the hospital at best... i'd say the same for damn near any weight class.

i know he was fighting (and measuring) an old mike tyson, but his defense is not ready. that left stays down. he will be knocked blind by anyone with even decent hand speed.

[Fat Kat]

I’m fairly certain that these fights are predetermined. It’s simply a money grab, and will continue because there’s no shortage of stupid people.

I think he's around amateur / low Olympic level boxing right now, he wouldn't beat anyone that he doesn't have some kind of physical advantage over.

I won't disparage him too much because at the end of the day he's still getting in the ring and that takes courage, but it's time to step up and fight guys born in the same decade.

Jake Paul only fights old retired boxers. Hes as corny as it gets. I really dislike him and his brother

I doubt Jake would place in a Golden Gloves tournament. He's not good, and fighting at a size where he'd have to be a MUCH better defensive boxer to avoid getting his head taken off.

I never liked Jake or his brother so I would

I won't take away anything from him in terms of the training that Jake has put in over the years. He has been putting in work, I agree. But it's hard to respect him 100% because he doesn't fight anyone who is legit.

I shouldn't use the word respect because honestly it takes a ton of guts to step into a boxing ring whether you're an amateur or pro. But I can't think of another word right now to describe how....uninteresting it is to see Paul fight washed up guys or dudes that have no business in a ring.

I can't put him on an Olympic level. I haven't seen anything from him that leads me to believe that he's even remotely that skilled.

But yeah, again, it takes guts to get into the ring and fight. I cannot take that away from him. But this is carnival barker boxing.

fully agree. he's not too old to start fighting serious fighters. i'd watch that and give him his due either way.

Imagine Jake trying to fight Andy Ruiz or Deontay Wilder?

Lmao. That would be funny, but extremely dangerous

The average amateur / Olympic level boxer is terrible, what I will give Jake is that he's trained in a pro style where as amateur / Olympic level boxers fight to win in 3-5roundo on points and rarely sit down on their punches. I hate amateur boxing for the most part.

He's going to lose against anyone in his age range that's been a pro. But they can cherry pick and find equally as bad "pros" out there that are semi legitimate boxers that don't have power, or are too small for their weight class like a blown up middleweight making cruiserweight to fight him because the money is too good.

If he fights a current ranked boxer in his weight class, regardless of the outcome, I would respect him for it.

A low level Olympic boxer is awful in pro style fights, a recent Olympic boxer would probably lose to him in a fight right now. Plenty of Olympic medalists lose within 10 fights against journeymen that aren't really much different from Jake because of the style difference and you can't afford to just let your hands go in a flurry hoping for points. I don't rate Olympic fighters unless they're Eastern Europeans or Central Asian nowadays, the amateur/Olympic style is just too different from pro boxing now and it's why so many Cuban greats don't amount to anything as pros when they defect here and get sparked by bums within their first couple fights.


I haven't bought into the Jake hype, I just don't think highly of that type of boxing and if he's smart he calls out a 2020-2024 Olympic fighter who doesn't have many fights
