The Jake Paul Megathread v2

[MMAProfessional]

50 year old Anderson styles on Diaz. If this fight happens Diaz's only highlight will be him flexing and mean mugging/middle finger while he's getting his ass beat.

 

[ragreynolds]

Nate is a walking punching bag in MMA, nevermind in boxing versus a guy much younger then he is with a notable size advantage. Jake probably finishes Nate at this point.

 

[kalabula]

Nate isn’t beating Paul unfortunately. If he does take the fight get it’ll ever for the money. Nate isn’t stupid though and will likely box either mayweather or Connah

I like Nate. But he may well be stupid. And he likely believes he can beat Paul.

 

[dnmb]

Paul is legit. He beat Silva in almost every round, and damn near KO'd him.

Yeah. I watched that one. Paul looked good. Not likely to become champ, but would beat the likes of Nate Diaz with ease

 

[Aluminati]

Great point around Perry although he's also somewhat smaller than Jake. He also beat MVP in bare knuckle. The guy is super tough and keeps moving forward. However if you watch Paul fight he always clinches when he's getting pieced up at close range.

I don't think Diaz has a chance against Jake. Size, age, power all against him.

Perry has sparred with Jake Paul in the leadup to Askren(?) and he was complimentary of his game. Said he has some hands and can crack, but by the round 2 or 3 he was marching him down pretty easily. The dangerous things about Perry are that he has shown he's more than willing to run face first into a meat grinder to land bombs and he doesn't back down from forward pressure. I don't think Paul could stop him, but he could pull a Condit, jabbing and running his way to victory.

Now the view on Jake Paul has gone too far in the other direction. Nate would outbox him convincingly, much better boxer than anyone Paul has faced

 

[Dr. Rose]

He's about 15lbs smaller

Do you think that is all? I thought Paul looked big (not huge, but bigger) against Silva, who looked big against Nick. He also seemed big against Tyron.

Jake Paul now has MMA fans convinced he can’t be beat lol. He totally cucked MMA.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

He's had 6 fights and no amateur career. Who should he be fighting next?

Its difficult because hes not working on the same trajectory boxers normally do. Hes got the privilege of straight away main eventing PPVs and getting tons of money to fight big names from a different sport, but the flipside is that also brings pressure to move forward more quickly than if he was an obscure young boxer. I think its kinda tough to tell how good old Woodley and Silva really are in boxing terms too, like where would they rank at their weight, who they'd be comparable to.

Deffo. Perry isn't super skilled but he is unbelievably tough and won't slow down.

 

[Trabaho]

Gonna get slaughtered he got no punching power

He only had success vs 155ers

I think he never scored a knock down in 30+ fights. Or maybe 2 light ones.


Got famous for beating the 145 champ who moved to 155, while he himself was a WW at that moment.

 

[HaulParris]

Jake Paul is the true hero. He likes booty

That's awesome

 

[VonSupervillain]

If Nate Diaz beats Jake Paul then who the fuck cares.

 

[pamirec]

If Nate fights Jake, it’ll be the first time for me to root for him.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

A boxer

 

[Leinster Rugby]

I don't care who he fights next as long as it triggers you.

Never mind your catchphrases mate. You can't have it both ways. Either he's 'legit' as you claim in which case he's fighting pro, prime boxers or he's not and its all just entertainment. It's clearly the latter and it seems from the numbers that a lot of people have realised that and gotten bored.

Hopefully when Conor fights out of his UFC contract he can go get KO'd by Jake.

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Nate would get starched. I have no interest in seeing Jake beat down another MMA fighter. Having said that, Belfort would have a much better chance than a weak and undersized punching bag like Nate.

 

[StocktonMuhfuh]

And if he loses again?

He's won more fights than Woodley lately...

 

[ferrisjso]

Probably?!?!

Hes at cruiserweight and he's famous. There's a lot of alphabet belts. I don't think we can 100% discount the possibility. He probably won't get to that point. But it's a PROBABLY. He seems very good at picking winnable fights and in boxing isn't that a big part of getting a title shot?
