How Would Jake Paul Do Against a Real Boxer?

You know the two promoters of that girl fight as you put it. The girl fight? Yes. Eddie Hern. You're gonna make me have to have those girls on and apologize. Shit. Um, and Jake Paul. Wait, Jake Paul was a promoter? Yeah, without Jake Paul that fight doesn't happen. He's, you know, He's a full on promoter now? Yeah, absolutely. The kid's got a hustle. You gotta give it to him. The kid's got a hustle. He is a successful hustler. I don't even know. I think he might be, he's got hustle. He's not a hustler. This guy's a legitimate businessman. Yeah, legitimate businessman, but the major things. But he makes so much money doing other shit that the fact that he wants to do that as well and promote fights as well. I'm impressed. He put her on his undercard. She got a lot of visibility there. People in boxing, of course, are already familiar with her, but it gave her much bigger notoriety by being on his cars. And then he and Eddie Hearn put this fight together. Again, I can't stress it enough. I sold out an actual Madison Square Garden sold out main arena fight. That's good for him. That was looking for like sunglasses. Yeah, doing the thing. I like it. I don't think this fight happens without him. You know, the conversation he had with Eddie Hearn where he said, I will knock out any one of your guys that has under 10 fights. Right. He goes, whoever you want to have, bring me any guy that you have that's under 10 fights. You can see Eddie Hearn like shit. He's kind of stuck there. You think? Yep, because those guys under 10 fights like what if Jake Paul knocks one of them out? Like what if you get a guy that like hasn't been tested and maybe has some promise and maybe gets wrapped up in the hype and maybe gets a little nervous and this is his first chance at a big, big, big show and Jake Paul can crack. Yeah, a hundred percent. That knock out of Tyron Woodley is legit as fuck. He can crack. But Eddie's point in that interview and I think the point that just about every boxing aficionado would say is that Tyron Woodley is not a boxer. Yep, and nor is Ben Askren who he knocked out as well. Right. We would have gotten some answers if Tyson Fury didn't get injured. Excuse me, if Tommy Fury didn't get injured leading up to that fight because he was the initial opponent. Yeah, he fought him. We would have got some real answers. And that would be an interesting fight. Agreed. And to your point, I saw people in boxing when that fight seemed to actually was going to happen. Start hedging their bets. Well, Fury isn't this, Tommy isn't that. I don't buy any of that. I think Tommy is an absolutely a legitimate boxing opponent for Jake Paul. Entertain this perspective. If Jake Paul wasn't Jake Paul, if he wasn't this YouTube guy, it was just a boxer and you see a boxer knock out the former UFC welterweight champion, not just the former, but one of the best ever. Knock him out with one punch like that. Like, oh man, have you seen this Jake Paul dude coming up? He's fucking for real because nothing about watching him fight to me screams like he's in over his head. Nothing. He looks like a real boxer. He looks like a real boxer. He doesn't look like a guy who's attempting boxing. That's the difference. The feints, the foot movement, the way he lands shots. He fights like a boxer. He doesn't fight like a guy who's trying to box in a celebrity boxing match. He fights like a boxer. No, because he wasn't that guy. I'm saying if it wasn't that big YouTube star and you just saw him as a boxing contender, you'd be like that dude's got dynamite in his hands. Okay, so there's two points to be made here. First of all, if a guy in his pro debut and the first five fights of his career are knocking out people whose names we know, you're absolutely right. That person is going to get a huge amount of attention and everybody's been like, wow, who the fuck is this guy? But also, if a guy who is on the track to be somebody who has like potential from the Olympics or he's got great amateur record, we're going to turn this guy into somebody in their first fights, they're fighting guys who are like five and 27. They're fighting other debut opponents who don't have a great track trajectory in front of them. They're fighting, you know, just completely not competitive. Just to get experience. And that's fine, right? So when we expect Jake Paul to be fighting like higher level competition, it's not because he has under 10 fights because he talks a lot of shit. Yeah, but that's also why we're talking about him. And that's exactly true. But I think on both sides of the equation, we've got to like admit that a young fighter under five fights isn't fighting great competition. So if you're calling Jake Paul a legitimate boxer and then you're expecting him to do what legitimate boxers do, I'm not sure he's not doing that and probably more. That's what I'm saying about the knockout of Tyron Woodley. Because it was just a regular boxer who's just coming up. And what does he have, six fights? Yes, I don't know. Something like this. What do you mean? What does Jake Paul have? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Something like that, right? Five. No, I think Jamie said five. That was a six. And then looking at a post he had where he said six and 0 coming soon. Six and 0. So okay, so he's got five fights. Now anybody who had just five fights was like doing, you know, small cards and then knocks out Tyron Woodley. Tyron Woodley says, I'm going to try boxing. And some guy starches him with one punch and talks mad shit. Like, wow, that guy's hot. Right. But the fighter doesn't, a five and 0 fighter who's knocked out five guys. Is it saying I'm ready for Canelo? Like no guy. But you do if you're crazy and you just talk a lot of shit. It's not like Canelo's like waiting to fight him. Canelo's got a lot of things he's doing. He doesn't have any time to be waiting around on Jake Paul. He's not really going to fight him. He's got to fight Golovkin in the rematch. If he beats Bevall. He's got things lined up.
