    He looks so stiff and unsteady on his feet and is very much showing his age.

    At the end of the day this is a 27 yo cocky *, calling out a 58 yo man. Put this * in the ring with Usyk, Fury or Joshua and let's see how he does.

    This. He couldn't knock down a 58 yo man.

    Wanna see this * pick a fight with a modern day heavyweight boxer and see what happens.

    Fury, Usyk, Joshua etc would have this * asleep within the first round.

    Apparently he wants to fight Canelo Alvarez if he beat Mike Tyson.

    That would be a good laugh. He got outboxed by a wee love island fairy with poppadom fists.

    Canelo would put an end to all this YouTube pish.

    Well who would have expected that to be a bunch of bullshit there.

    This was an officially sanctioned pro fight wasn’t it? That’s a joke.

    the fight just before the two lassies, that was * enjoyable though

    That will never ever happen, he’s not going to try that. He’ll say it and then make sure it doesn’t, and talk *, then fight another old name.

    Sadly that's true.

    He's no daft. I think there is enough money in it for maybe no a Canelo who's still at the top of his game, but for a fairly good boxer.

    Jake Paul will run out of folk to fight like this though. He's just a wee *.

    He's called out Canelo Alvarez hahaha

    Canelo has 66 fights under his belt with only TWO loses at the age of 34.

    This * has had 12 fights and lost ONE to a * Tommy Fury who is the only current pro boxer he's faced.

    Canelo would annihilate this *.

    "Canelo needs me" hahaha * off *

    * Canelo, I'd let someone like Hamazh Sheeraz have a shot at Jake Paul.

    Really show him what the difference in levels really are.

    Someone who's his build, height, reach, general weight class.

    Not that would ever happen of course. Because Jake the little * will continue to run his mouth and call out a bunch of big names.

    Then out of the blue the next fight annouced:

    Jake Paul vs Steve Cunningham or some level of * up *

    The lassie on Sky News just called it as it is lol.

    Said all this fight has shown is that age catches up with you, He couldn't KO a legend of the sport who ultimately is now a 58 yo man. And that if he fought anyone his age within the sport, he'll come up very short lol.

    Logan Paul after Mike Tyson says he'll fight him next "I'd kill you Mike"

    So disrespectful, his brother can actually Box a little even though he'd get beat by anyone his age who's a pro.

    This guy can't Box for * at all, and to say that after his brother couldn't KO a 58 yo Mike Tyson is disgraceful

    Hahaha, arguebly one of the best boxers to walk the planet, four weight champion, earns about $35 million every time he fights.

    Retired a very decent boxer in Billy Joe Saunders not that long ago with one uppercut, the Paul brothers should stick to the YouTube and leave boxing to the pros.

    Gotta admit the guys clever. He's carved out a career getting paid as much as proper boxers for these fights that basically won't ever hurt him. All because everyone wants to see him battered :56: and still to this day, the only one who actually laid a proper glove on him was his first fight against that deji :56: wonder who is next really. Big lennox Lewis? Only 59. Spring chicken.

    He’ll never fight Canelo or anyone in that ballpark. Tommy Fury is an area level fighter and he outboxed Paul very comfortably, despite being a good bit smaller. There are like 10-15 levels between someone like Tommy Fury and Canelo.

    He has no intention of this, but knows what works to generate attention. People pay in the hope that he’ll lose, but as long as he’s not fighting anyone remotely hungry, young and similarly sized, he won’t.

    The logical conclusion to this is McGregor, and imo he’d beat him too.

    For people who dislike what this does to the sport, or don’t get anything from spectacles like last night, the logical thing to do is simply not watch. As long as you do, you give it reason to continue.

    Yeah people need to stop watching, stop clicking on articles about it leading up to the fight.
    The Paul's are business men, earning money by wrestling or dubious boxing matches. If people watch or give them media attention they carry on.

    Ive not seen the fight, doubt I will but it sounds less fun than a Bellew vs Haye match.

    Such a shame that a boxing legend goes back for 1 final pay day and tarnishes his brilliant reputation by look in like an old man that couldn’t lay any damage on a * that thinks he is something he isn’t.
    Retire Mike and learn your day was over 20 years ago.

    I've only watched two Paul fights vs Fury and this one with Tyson.

    Other than that, I'm sure it was being talked about that he's choice of fights was leading to a nose dive in PPV buys because people were seeing through his bullshit.

    This fight only "sold" because of Tyson and the fact it was on Netflix, I don't think this would have sold all that well if it were a genuine PPV event and not some clever marketing tactic where it felt "free to watch" because I already held a netflix sub.

    If his next fight is another retired fighter.who hasn't fought in 7+ years, it will bomb
