    Do we need to talk about Floyd vs Jake Paul?

    Should Floyd continue with exhibitions its the fight that makes most sense.

    He tried mugging Floyd off taking his hat. He's a huge draw and will be much bigger should he get by Woodley.
    It'd be the biggest event ever and we all know Floyds all about the money. plus he'll want revenge for his brother.

    Does Floyd take this sort of risk? There is going to be a lot of pressure imo if he beats Woodley.

    I know people will say he's only had X amount of fights, he's not fought a boxer before & all this but Jake isn't his brother he's a natural fighter and hits twice as hard as Logan. He looks a lot smaller but he really isn't.

    As a boxing fan and I know most will laugh but this happening worries me. I get it'd hurt Floyds stock more than boxing but meh.

    I think there is real danger involved. He'll hit a 44yr old Floyd at some point clean.

    I'm not saying he is a great boxer or will have a great career but he's big, explosive, he hits hard and he's a novice and that works in his favour imo because he's not going to be biting, he's not going to react to faints & level changes and get flustered like a seasoned textbook boxer will.

    I have a terrible feeling this kid will crack Floyd & I totally get if you think I am crazy.

      Floyd will be another 9 months to a year older.
      Jake with that in experience and improving his conditioning and such.

      I'm convinced this will happen, its almost too big not to and I am also convinced he will catch Floyd at some point and it won't be pretty.

          Floyd might be training Woodley too. If Jake wins it becomes easier to sell as a grudge match. This time though I don't see Floyd taking this Paul brother lightly and will try to hurt him.

          And Jake will come to win not survive because he believes in his skills more than Logan as he's the better boxer out of the two. Privately he'll try to one up his big bro

            Jake Paul beats the Floyd Mayweather we saw fight his brother.

            Mayweather-Logan Paul was a competitive boxing match and Jake Paul is much better than his brother.

              I dont think it will happen. Floyd looked and I'm sure felt like an old man the last time out. I dont necessarily know that Jake is better than Logan, but i do think he has more dog in him, more punching power and will legitimately try to win. Same size/strength more or less as well. Unless its an absolutely ****** offer, I dont think we'll be seeing Floyd vs Jake.
