Yes he's taking boxing seriously but he's not fighting anyone serious. Fair play to him he's making money, but he won't even beat a top contender in the future.
if we're gonna be real though, you're gonna be hard pressed to find cats who are fighting someone serious in their third pro fight.
unless they have a few hundred amateur fights that is.
He hasn't even boxed a Boxer yet. But he can punch and he does move like a Boxer and he clearly loves it and puts the effort in so fair play to him.
But I've seen many a man think he can box and look like he can box until he fights a Boxer. There are levels to this sport and considering he hasn't fought a Boxer can we even say he is at level 1?
He won’t beat any semi decent boxer or even an ok journeyman as it stands
However, in the context of celebrity boxing, he’s good. If you’re a celebrity or other kind of athlete that doesn’t wanna get embarrassed and flattened in the ring, then don’t fight him.,
It's really pathetic how people can only give credit to people they like. Boxing skills aren't magic, if you train and take it seriously then you'll beat the guy in front of you. Nothing to me suggest Paul doesn't take the craft seriously and everything from his punching to his movement shows that he's obviously built a good base for himself. The guy could easily end up decently ranked if he fights long enough.
What's your definition of legit?
As far as I can tell, he's seriously trying to be a good boxer. But he'd look really stupid and basic against a proper world class fighter.
NO! However he has find himself a Lane and as long as he stays in it I'm totally OK with him doing his own PPV and fighting other Celebrities and Former Athletes. Boxing fans Get over Yourselves! Kid never asked you to be a fan nor is he trying to win over our Demo. In fact he doesn't even need us and yet this event tonight I'm sure did big PPV Numbers and will do far more than any Professional Boxing PPV Event this year
Don't like it then don't watch but lets be honest most of us can't help but to watch right?
I really didn't watch that fight. I was having fun and just talking to people on here. I still don't know one thing about Jake Paul. He's hassling tho.
He is the real deal. Only old heads refuse to give him props. I would love to see him again McGregor or Canelo.
Madness! What has he done to suggest that? He’s beaten a youtuber and a basketballer, both in their first fights.
Now he has beaten an old welterweight wrestler with awful stand up. Don’t get me wrong as Askren has reached the top of a sport which involves a lot of stand up (potentially) so I have to give him a small element of credit.
But let’s be honest, he hasn’t proven anything yet, he could have potential to be the second coming or he doesn’t even reach area title level, who knows.
Hes certainly not taking it seriously though, if he was he would be calling out fighters (actual boxers) who are in his weight division!
What is he? Cruiser? Why is he calling out people like Mcgreggor? For the money essentially
If not he would be calling out people at his weight class and let’s be honest the first ‘boxer’ he fights at his weight will beat him

Canelo? Really? Lol he would get murdered.
Hes legit relative to the fact that hes a novelty act. He does have a bit of ability and athleticism and there are many worse pro boxers out there. But his ceiling outside of these novelty fights would probably be him beating an old journeyman.
