Comments Thread For: Jake Paul: I Would Love The Boxing Community To Fully Embrace Me; Would Love That Respect

Others have said it here already.
Start fighting boxers. Your own weight. Keep winning and step up the level as you go. You'll get the due respect in time.

Fight a boxer, around your own size, not washed up MMA fighters who have never boxed. It's over when that happens. Sad to see so-called boxing fans pretending this clown is doing something impressive.

I still can't figure out why anyone would pay to watch what's his name. This is boarding on Idiocrycy (the movie) right here.

You can’t hate on someone who’s taking advantage of their opportunity

Well Jake, you’ll get respect when you actually box some boxers in your own weight class.

That comes with fighting actual active fighters with a pulse. But hey, I'm not going to bash someone trying to make a living, if people are willing to pay to watch you, take advantage of it. But the respect will only come with him fighting other boxers, at least in the boxing community, at least he seems to take it seriously, which is more than some actual boxers.

Jake had no amateur career. And actual touted amateurs still have to go 30-0 vs super bums (Jaron Ennis for examples). Dude should be able to go 50-0 before stepping up. But he’ll need to be more active. Otherwise, just using his popularity for the sport is good too. Make some of the actual boxer’s box someone on their lvl on the undercards.

I'm sick of this embarrassment altogether.
Respect?
Fight an actual boxer for a start, then fight one in your weight class with a winning record.
Pretty simple.

Just another occult ***** who sold his soul.

[ValarMargulis]

Then fight an actual boxer -_-
I don't think it's that hard
