Should AJ fight Jake Paul?

I normally ignore everything with Jake Paul and boxing but this cannot be avoided. There is a slight possibility that AJ may face this you tuber who has made an impact on the game.

I say that under normal circumstances AJ should not even consider it because it lowers his reputation, Logan is just using his name and has no real interest in getting splattered to lose his revenue and boxing is becoming a circus.

Jake Paul has done some good things for boxing. He has brought more eyes to boxing including younger fans than ever before and the support he has provided to women boxers is amazing but he is still a cunt who only fights old boxers, old UFC/MMA fighters and novice boxers. Getting himself ranked higher than real serious professionals who would wipe the floor with him.

As a result, I think AJ should face Jake Paul for the good of boxing. He should wipe him out and save the sport we so dearly love, and he is making a laughingstock.

AJ can make a heap of money and so can other boxers on the undercard.

It stops Fury taking this opportunity and making a fool of himself against Jake Paul.

AJ can then move on to more serious challenges and gain confidence that boxing fans will see the good service he has provided the fans.

What do you think?

It's Jake Paul the brother.

Should be fight him. No. Will he fight him. More than likely.

I was watching an interview with Barry Hearn last week. I always think with Barry wysiwyg - he laid out that as a promoter he'll listen to the market whether it makes boxing sense or not. In market terms he said he believed AJ Paul was bigger than AJ Fury.

Sadly I think he's probably right.

I'd tune in too to hopefully watch that clown get battered and preferably within like thirty seconds to prove what a farce Paul has been from the start.

Logan or Jake Paul same thing.

Made the changes.

You are right to be fair. What's the difference

Reminds me of when AJ KO'ed Ngannou. Our natural reaction as boxing fans is to want to protect the sport from wannabe boxers who think they can just waltz in and become professional boxers. Fury almost screwed it up by getting knocked down by Ngannou before surviving a decision win. AJ then righted the ship by knocking out Ngannou and put that nonsense to bed about MMA stars just strolling into boxing and winning.

Back to Jake Paul. Yes, he's done some good things in boxing. One that stands out to me is that he has promoted Amanda Serrano heavily, bringing her the notoriety she so richly deserved even before that. So for that, I'm thankful. However, the boxing fan in me still chafes at having either MMA'ers or YouTubers thinking they can just take a shortcut to boxing stardom. (Basically it's what has always soured me on PrincessRy).

So if AJ were to fight Paul, the only acceptable result is an AJ knockout victory. Anything else would validate every Tom, Dick and Harry who thinks they can "express line" their way to boxing elitedom.

nah he should let jai beat him up

In fact there is a huge line of real boxers that would love the opportunity.

So the consensus is that AJ should take on Jake.

"It's a business, man. If [Joshua v Paul] makes sense and does numbers, why not?" Whyte told BBC Sport

"[Joshua] has won the championship twice, had a lot of fights and done a lot so I don't know.

"I'm sure he'll make more money than he did in some of his title fights so sometimes if you can make some money then make some money."

The only concern is that Jake has no real intent and just using the name to sell himself and his promotional outfit. Eddie should only enter negotiations if it is serious and not be played a fool because they would be if the whole thing is just a gimmick.

I hope AJ actually hurts Paul... not in body, but in spirit. We've had enough of this charade. There are scores of real fighters who have been doing this since they were 10 years old, looking for even half of the shot Paul bamboozled himself into. This is pure disrespect to those fellows.

Agreed like knocked out in seconds and asleep for a week with a lot of medical concern - no permanent damage of course. Then we don't have to hear from him again in the ring and this kind of crap is banned

Nay, the Ngannou sideshow was enough for AJ. Fighting Paul while AJ is clearly on his last run and effort at the highest level does nothing but put him in another win nothing-lose everything position. Seem to recall feeling same way vs Ngannou ;D. But now the stakes are much higher, career sunset etc. Go out serious in top form vs the very best he can secure. Might be showing my age but I'm so tired of hearing "secure the bag" and Paul would most certainly produce a bag. But ffs AJ could come out and splat Paul and does anyone thing Paul would really go anywhere? And congrats AJ, you will have conquered a tired gimmick who we knew was shat once he stepped up from the basketball players, retired mma ghosts, completely shot boxers. Oh and Tyson Furys little brother ;D

I think I have it now, Jake Paul vs Jarrell Miller! Make that shitshow of a fight happen. Hey we can always hope for a double knockout :boxingmatch:

It’s a complete farce of course.

But boxing has always had something of the carnival about it anyway - Pete Rademacher fought Floyd Patterson for the world heavyweight championship in his first pro fight. George Foreman fought 5 nobodies one after the other on the same night. McGregor got a title shot against Mayweather in his first pro fight. Sullivan and Dempsey both fought pretty much hand picked stooges once in a while, even Muhammad Ali fought the wrestler Inoki.

The element of farce has never been far away from the business of boxing

This is becoming a bit of a circus with Andre Ward also dropping his name in the ring.

AJ should be insulted with these challenges popping out because he is willing to consider taking on Jake.

AJ needs to announce his next fight very soon or this will get ridiculous.

I agree he should take the offer but I think he is being played by Jake who has no intention of taking up the challenge and using the publicity to make his next fight against a no one.

In th meantime he is exposing himself as a desperate fool with no real ambition of becoming a champion again.

desperate fool wanting to make tens of millions - I'd do it

if he got another belt now somehow it's meaningless whilst Usyk is out there

I can't even remember AJ's two decisions to Usyk - were either an SD ?!?

If the fight doesn’t come off AJ will look like a desperate loser.

AJ can make millions winning a title that has been dropped by Usyk.

Usyk won both by unanimous decision with the first contest being closer.

Jake Paul is like an embarrassing fart that just will not go away. Titofan is right Joshua pole axing him in a similar fashion to the way he dealt with Ngannou would as boxing fans be something we (even those who are not fans of AJ) would welcome.

Does Joshua have many other options now that Fury has run off tail between his legs? A stay busy / reset fight before what? Dubois rematch?

I just looked it up. He won the second on a split decision. Remember that. No. Me neither

So Jake Paul was using AJ name for publicity and is set to take on Gervonta Davis September 14th which is just another joke match up.

https://talksport.com/boxing/3498866...testing-usada/

And this is exactly why Joshua shouldn’t fight him. Nor should Tank.
Everyone saying AJ should wipe him out……..BOLLOCKS! The spineless governing bodies should wipe him out. If any pro fights Jake Paul, fine, but they should be banned from pro boxing for fighting an un sanctioned fight.
Even if it’s an “Exhibition” !
If He wants to fight KSI or other ex no marks, cool . But it should be distanced from pro boxing.

i can live with it, if it's an exhibition

& to make it clear i think tank has pro business that is more important than an exhibition. i can just understand taking that sort of purse for an exhibition against jake
