Edited thread for anything related to Jake Paul.

Surely this should be in the spam section?

My nine year old grandson clearly thinks Paul is brilliant but then gave us all a good belly laugh by telling us that birds are not real and only land on overhead powerlines to recharge . I had to remind him when he asked 'had we ever seen a baby pigeon' about the wood pigeon eggs that get laid in the trees in our garden every year, which we than watch grow from chicks into birds. That is the same kind of power to erase rational thinking and even real life lived experience Jake Paul manages to inspire in his followers.

I was against both the Paul’s when they started boxing because I’m not into “influencers” and YouTube stars and such.

But he did expose the arrogance of MMA participants and fans. They thought they could box just because they train boxing. Now they know. I wanted to see him fight Masvidal too but I knew Dana would never let him take that beating. Now that MMA fans get it it’s time for boxing fans to learn or Jake to learn. But I don’t know how anyone can have a problem with a 6-0 fighter fighting an 8-0 fighter. And as I said in the Yarde fight thread, if he pivots and fights an MMA fight in PFL then the guy deserves respect. Anyone that fights professionals in their discipline deserves respect.

Still won’t like the guy though

Did anyone notice how Tyson Fury was all " Tommy will ko this bum"
Now he said its the battle of the You tubers, he is covering his tracks as I don't think he is so confident Tommy will win this one now it has been made.
Lets face it Tommy Fury is garbage, he is living off his family name.

I think this is definitely the start of Tyson giving Tommy a leg up on the you tube side of things because they know it’s the only way Tommy is going to make a lot of dough.
He knows he’s never going to be good enough to make a healthy living the conventional way through being a pro champion.

He's done right by Amanda Serrano, so that to me is a plus.

Jake as a "boxer" though... not so much.

Badou Jack taking on Makabu on the undercard I heard.

I've seen that claim too. A lot! Good observation on a false claim!

Carlos Ortiz was undisputed lightweight champion from 1965 to 1968, back when it was just the WBC and the WBA.

Yeah... now that there are more belts (a factor complicated by different promoters and such)... it's tougher to accomplish.

That would really be sad. Riding those coattails. If anything should have been the other way around riding the Fury name/connection etc.

Still say the existence and social media dumpster fire fling fest is rooted in top boxing 'stars' failing to fulfill professional obligations and simply making fan friendly mega fights. Or just fighting at all. Top contenders thinking 1 fight a year translates to a fluid fan base and anointment. Every void gets filled.
