    Seemed like Tyson held back so was likely scripted. He was looking mean and throwing with intent in training clips.

    what weight does Jake Paul walk around at, and weigh in during previous fights?
    i feel he'd be a light heavyweight

    also Joe Rogan should get disgraced into never talking about boxing ever again

    It's wild that Jake Paul has us wondering if he could stand up to someone like Canelo. Beating a 58 year old Mike Tyson was impressive even though Tyson clearly couldn’t keep up at that age since few can. Foreman was one of the rare ones who could but that was mostly due to his raw power. Jake hasn’t faced a prime boxer yet. The one boxer he fought Tommy Fury beat him and even Tommy’s not in the top 10. It’s hard to say how Jake would handle a legit fighter in their prime. Canelo would probably outbox him but I’m not sure he’d knock him out since Jake’s size and durability might let him go the distance. Jake has definitely added hype and unpredictability to boxing.

    No one sensible is wondering about this at all. Paul is fucking garbage. Canelo would fucking kill him.

    Paul lost to a novice cruiserweight. Furry is not a top 100 cruiser

    Fury vs Paul was very close ugly fight that could have gone either way. Fury sucks really bad and I was actually very surprised Paul lost. The only difference is I think Fury hit his plateau long time ago and Paul is improving ever so slightly. I feel Paul has a lot more money and dedication invested in boxing and if they fought again, he'd beat him this time around.
