It is better these celebrity boxers pull WWE matches. **** the Pauls, and I hope influencers like them burnout from civilization. Or at least exhibit YouTube watchers how infective trashy influencers are: gonorrhoea.

Boxing and football correlate with CTE. Frank Gore should retire both those sports. His son is just starting college football and Frank should take more time as a father.

Yeah I'd rather not watch Frank Gore box after a 15 year NFL career for that exact reason.

For a guy that doesn’t have years of boxing experience...he a bad man.

But watching him box is like watching a good college player play against Good highschool ballers....yeah they both fun to watch but they not better than a g league team and that’s not beating any nba team,

Jake a good college team equivalent- But he ain’t playing college teams...

Either way, he would kick my @$$ and nearly everyone else

Good fights are good fights. It's like basketball, abstractly who would ever want to financially support grown men in shorts bouncing a ball around? If the talent is there it's enjoyable however, if it's not there it's not.

A Jake Paul fight would be a horrible introduction to someone who wants to get into fight sports.

Not really...he beat a 40 year old and Ben - both were losing in UFC.

UFC guys don’t have enough head movement to box guys with sound boxing fundamentals. Paul sound for a guy with his experience.

Don’t know if Paul can beat a top 50 boxing pro tho...which is saying a lot that I’m not sure one way or another

It would probably be a close decision to Mayweather, but if Jake caught him with a hook he'd be sleeping.

If these former sports stars actually end up having fun and enjoy the experience of training and fighting in a boxing match then good for them.

Could a 40 pound heavier 25 year old Paul beat a 50 year old mayweather....are you legit asking that question?

First the size difference so wide that they wouldn’t sanction a fight...it would have to be an exhibition and Paul would die if they were both 25 even with the size difference. Paul is a brilliant man to even have someone pose this question. This man is one of the best marketers on earth and is also brave and tough to fight anyone like he has...but he isn’t a world class boxer

I would say not today but as mayweather ages and Paul improves - then in the future yes...but it wouldn’t be about boxing at that point.

Askren/Tyron both were washed out of the UFC, they didn't retire as winners, they left after several bad losses- especially Tyron.

There are a couple guys in the UFC with good boxing backgrounds and could beat Paul. Masvidal/Yan/Moreno all are better at boxing than Paul, they're just in a different weightclass. Paul just likes to roid and pick opponents that are known to have poor boxing + he has a size advantage over. It's all in good fun though and I'm enjoying the freakshow.

100% agree...but that’s why Paul is a genius - gets millions for fighting smaller non-boxers
