Jake Paul is ruining the image of boxing

If promoters ,boxers commissions and sanctioning bodies did a good enough job, boxing would be much better and much more popular and more respected,but no it's all jake's fault.

Part of the blame is on Paul's be half. Him and all those youtubers are messing up the sport.

He’s ruining the sport because a couple kids at the gym think he’s great? Who cares? Have you ever taken the time to see how many people on social media don’t know **** about boxing?

The amount of people (of all ages) who think Mike Tyson is the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time is ****ing alarming.

I'd rather people think Tyson is the greatest, than that bum youtuber. Children used to talk about guys like Mike and Sugar Ray, now it's all about the youtubers.

At least people are talking. The alternative is, no one talking, and no one caring - then boxing is f***ed.

People shouldn't be talking about him. When casuals talk about boxing they only talk about Paul, they never talk about anyone else.

Not sure I believe that. Paul has actually done a pretty good job promoting. Montana Love got a huge boost off Paul. Ditto Amanda Serrano. He’s been smart putting talented up and comers on his undercards. If casuals want to get into boxing, then they took note of Love/Baranchuk on the co main.

The other day I was in the gym training for my comeback fight and while I was training I overheard some kids talk about how "Jake Paul is the greatest boxer of all time". They were saying **** like "he'd beat guys like Mike Tyson, Fury, and Canelo". Hell, I even saw them watching "film" of this bum as if he was some sort of technical genius. I tried to tell those kids that what they were watching wasn't real boxing, I even recommended they watch actual greats in the ring. They laughed and said Paul would ko all those bums. Jake is ruining the image of the sport with his circus acts. Instead of children talking about guys like Chavez, Haggler, Duran, or even Mayweather. Instead they're talking about some YouTuber! Someone needs to brutally KO this clown!

This is completely made up

You got to imagine, if they followed Jake Paul prior to boxing and all a sudden he's in boxing and winning, of course he's the GOAT. They literally never watched a day of boxing prior to Jake Paul dipping into it. They see Jake brutally KOing non-boxers and immediately assume he would do that to anyone he faces.

Far from the truth but many people do not care to seek out the truth in this day and age.

It's completely real. This is the sad reality of boxing now.

You're talking about him. Be the change you want to see and just stop engaging. I've never heard the YouTuber speak.

You don't have to believe it because I hear and see it everyday. Casual fans think he's the only boxer worth talking about. I do give him credit for putting people like Serrano, Love, and Baranchuk on his card. But he's still done more harm than good.
