Why Hasn’t McGregor Boxed Jake Paul

[Dakuwaqa]

You want him to fight someone 30 lbs heavier? How is that someone his size?
besides if Paul cut weight he'd make 175, and 168 if he wants to take it to the extreme.

Jake fights at CW right ? 200lb weight limit

Jan fights at LHW. 205lb

What’s the issue ?

If it never happens, the fans (especially here on NSB) will be asking what might have been for many years to come.

It will be debated with the likes of Marquez/Morales, Frazier/Norton, Leonard/Pryor and Duran/Arguello.

Since you're on a boxing site, you should know by now that people cut weight to fight on a certain weight, and if you knew anything about MMA, you'd know Conor cuts alot of weight to make 145 and not 140, and weighed 20 lbs heavier than Floyd during their fight.

And Paul holds alot of fat compared to Conor so if he was as shredded as conor he'd weigh much less than 190.

Your TRUE fighting weight is what you would weight at about 18 with maybe 12% body fat. As men get older we gain weight. Fighter should NEVER gain fat. If they don’t gain fat they still gain weight due to MUSCLE. Over muscling yourself in the fight game only slows you down (poor reflexes) and requires far too much oxygen to feed those working muscles. I cant recall any MMA guys who could go up and weight and be just as good as they were lite. In boxing theirs Pacquiao, Mayweather & Canelo.

Who knows, but it be an entertaining circus

One cant make the limit and one has to cut to make the limit, how are these the same size?

with that logic, all of paul's opponents that weighed +175 are legit CWs so they were all the same size.

Besides 205 lbs is HW in boxing.

I doubt Conor wants to risk getting stopped by a youtuber.

I am excited for Conor's ring return in 2022 to see how his foot has healed up. But he needs to stay in MMA, boxing is not for him. I know Floyd is an ATG but any boxer could have given Conor hell in there, he just can't throw a proper [boxing] punch and lacks power.
Had he faced someone with power, he would of been stopped fast.

Ouch, that's a tough reality to swallow

It would be a huge money maker. Casuals would eat that s h I t up ! If Conner wants to cash out, this is the fight he should choose. He’ll get demolished, though.
