Nate Diaz incoming. Middle of the pack LW. That's 155lbs. 170 if he just focuses on fighting.

Ex rugby and rugby league star and sometime boxer Sonny Bill Williams got KTFO by MMA legend Mark Hunt over the weekend.

Line him up for the YouTuber and sometime boxer next I reckon.

Would make for a choice fight...

Anderson Silva IS a boxer. He's old and not very experienced, but he had 4 pro fights and 1 unscored 8 round exhibition before the Paul fight. You can't say someone with 5 organized boxing matches on his resume isn't a boxer. That's just ******.

Eddie hating on Jake because he said Hearn bribed a judge & Eddie knows Showtime wants to make the Nate Diaz fight next because of his popularity in the UFC so knowing that he said Jake not going to get credit until he fights a boxer

Right. Jake should just keep doing what he’s doing. No point in padding his record with a Rod Salka or that 5’4 midget Ennis fought in his 24th fight.

Calling a 48 year old who's had a grand total of 4 pro fights a boxer is what is ******

Jake Paul had a grand total of 5 pro fights going in and they were against:
a Youtuber
a retired basketball player
a retired wrestling specialist MMA fighter
another retired wrestling specialist MMA fighter
the same retired wrestling specialist MMA fighter

Anderson Silva fought four pro boxers and won three of those fights, then had an 8 round exhibition under pro style rules.

Silva was literally more of a legitimate boxer than Paul was going into the fight.

Paul's next opponent should be another novice boxer, just like Silva and Paul himself.
