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.
