Boxing CANNOT allow this to happen

Jake Paul is the Face of Boxing, he also does more for women's boxing and represents the best female boxers. He has conquered MMA/UFC, and his brother, the Great Logan Paul has conquered WWE. They, together, are the Face of Combat fighting. Tommy Fury beat a very raw Jake, via a close decision and got knocked down, he is a different animal now. Jake Paul would wipe the floor with Canelo, that's why Canelo took the easier option with Crawford. Would Jake Paul beat Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk or Deontay Wilder (not the clone)? No, but him vs the winner of Beterbiev vs Bivol 3 would be a 50-50 bout. Why does Lennox Lewis get credit for beating the shell of Mike Tyson? And Jake Paul does not for beating a revitalised and well-rested Mike Tyson, who had re-primed? Nash out - His Majesty

blame the weakzz boxers who gave Jake this opportunity by losing to him... props to Tommy Fury!! the only boxer who wasnt afraid of Jake. Doesn't help the only real boxing match Paul took place in he kicked fury ass and dropped him...only to get robbed later smh Then we also saw Tyson fury get drop dominated by a MMA fighter only to get robbed... Boxing has always been a joke ..maybe the true truth we all like our boxing mixed with a lil wwe

I found his email address on the ABC website and sent him a polite email. He responded quickly asking I call so we setup a call for the next day and we spoke briefly via WhatsApp which allows one to dial international for free. I drew his attention to the WBA's broken promises following the dressing down Mazzulli gave them following the Maestre - Fox scandal. He said he would speak to Mendoza. If we had a proper boxing media rather than imbeciles with smartphones looking for 'content' then this kind of thing could be pressed much further. The rise of the basement level independent boxing "journalist", too scared to ask probing questions or push back against lies fed to them by sanctioning orgs, promoters, fighters, etc, for fear of being denied further interviews, are one of the main reasons for the proliferation of bullshit within the sport nowadays. On a more positive note, I read today that the WBA are going to review their ranking of Jake Paul after protests from other ranked contenders.

The only thing I’m shocked about is that it wasn’t the WBC that ranked him first. Honestly though, let one of the real ranked guys get a good payday by fighting him, and they’ll also beat him and maybe that will put an end to this.

Interesting. How did you contact him? Did he respond to you? I found his email address on the ABC website and sent him a polite email.

Can someone tell me if Chavez would of won the fight , would they have ranked him and how high would he be ranked Not for anything but this is the WBA getting it’s beak wet in the circus business

Ahhhhhhhh, Yup. You lay down with dogs You wake up with fleas. If the WBA title holds meaning to you, so too do their ratings and policies. ...And history! Lol. What a mess. But still; the guy keeps training, fighting and winning under the only had to hand combat rules that pay well; and he's drawing in the fans. That's the reality. Could LeBron James or Carlos Alcaraz or Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes or Mo Salah or Scottie Scheffler do what Jake Paul has done? I doubt it. Not tough enough.​ Talking about the history of the WBA ... you said you were in the arena when Ali fought Jerry Quarry in a tune up for his world title challenge against Frazier. When The Fight Of The Century happened, do you remember Ali, as the challenger, walking out and being introduced first, and Joe then being introduced as, "the HW champion of the world"? Do you remember what titles Joe was defending against Ali in that fight?

They ranked him at number 14 the guy at number 15 has 20 wins 20 KOs, 100% KO ratio. Its against all bums but still. He would spark Paul out so how did paul get ranked ahead of him? he beat a guy 40 lbs above his best weight division. /Thread.

I respect Jake for bringing eye balls to the sport, but his career has mostly been a lucrative joke if there ever was one. He's literally making crazy millions, but the fights have been farces. Let's look at his tactics. Pick on a non-boxer and win, sometimes looking incredible. Pick a dinosaur boxer, whether nearing 60 or nearing 40 and who had not fought in years. Or pick a young boxer with low punching power (Tommy Fury) and take an L because despite the lack of power, enough boxing ability to outpoint Jake. So if he were to face a ranked opponent, arguably one that isn't so far out of their prime, he's going to deal with actual boxing ability, plus maybe some power. Depends who he faces. I'm not sure that will spell good for him.

How have I supported the sanctioning bodies? By acknowledging that they exist and their titles matter? By not playing along with with some silly fantasy about "the fans" transforming the sport by only recognising lineal champions? Ahhhhhhhh, Yup. You lay down with dogs You wake up with fleas. If the WBA title holds meaning to you, so too do their ratings and policies. ...And history! Lol. What a mess. But still; the guy keeps training, fighting and winning under the only had to hand combat rules that pay well; and he's drawing in the fans. That's the reality.

In that connection I suggest reaching out to Mike Mazzulli if you're serious about this. He's very open, I am a complete nobody from the UK and I've managed to speak to him. I alerted him to the Garcia - Rolly WBA 'regular' farce. Interesting. How did you contact him? Did he respond to you?

World title fights can't happen unless they are sanctioned by a boxing commission. The Association of Boxing Commissions have their annual convention next month.If they agreed that no WBA title fights would be sanctioned unless the WBA stopped bringing the sport into disrepute and removed Fake Paul from their rankings, that would do it.

Tommy Fury: Our lord and savior. That sounded gross, but here we are. In a way your right but it's like a double edged sword. He don't got his 0 which alot of boxers love protecting but showed you don't need it to be a draw even if he is a youtuber

'Boxing' is not an abstract entity that can prevent anything. You've supported the sanctioning bodies through the worst of their crimes and this is the apotheosis.

I'm interested. I want to see how far Jake is willing to go. Will he fight a world ranked cruiserweight or somehow fight for the title? Or any of the the other fantastical fights he's mentioned? I take it for what it is. An interesting sideshow. I have no problem with Fake Paul as a sideshow, but this is taking a sideshow and putting it on the main stage. It's making a mockery of the sport. When the WBC gave Ngannou a world ranking, you could at least see the justification for that: Ngannou fought the WBC champion in a none title fight, decked him, and took him to a split decision. The WBA ranking Fake can't be justified in any way, and I'm asking myself why they have done it. Zurdo is the WBA champ. Fake has said he wants to fight Zurdo and Zurdo has been talking about fighting Fake before trying to unify with Opetaia or Jack. We all know that Zurdo would obliterate Fake Paul in a legit, fair fight. Fake knows that too. So what the fuck are they planning here?

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee. -Jake paul

AS soon as he fights someone with a Pulse he shall be gone and all of us will watch and laugh hard.

This bum will lose to every top 20 cruiserweight. Easy work. He most likely would. I think a lot of the ire that he draws is one reason that I don’t see many posters focusing on: *He’s making a larger amount than a highly promoted, highly heralded Olympic gold medalist would make in his early fights. He can also afford better trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, etc. If he was literally anybody else and was stripped of his celebrity status (but still being able to train and have access to high class facilities/aids), no one would bat an eye. I’m personally willing to look past all the vitriol given what he’s done for Amanda’s career and because he’s (whether we like it or not) raising fighter’s public profile when they fight on his cards. But if nobody wanted to bend the knee, I wouldn’t fault them for it, either. I think Claressa Shields was on record a couple years ago stating she didn’t believe in fighting on Jake Paul’s undercards. And I personally can’t blame her. I’d WANT to make more money, but at the same time my pride and ego as a two time gold medalist would eat away at me if I gave in to that.
