[Roadblock]

Margarito.

Im not good with one-word cryptics I cant see any relationship to Paul whatso ever.

[jjho]

Mayweather starting to realize maybe this JP kid can really fight and he don't want none of it... lol

[Johnny Rubber]

Mayweather shook.

mayweather obviously thinks its too risky a fight because hes literally been fighting youtubers and will be fighting a youtuber in his next fight, cant start acting like hes above these sort of fights when hes fighting deji or whatever hes called. Mayweather has been on the circus fight scene for a few years now. He would make more money against jake than any other youtuber but he doesnt want to do it because he thinks its too much risk, theres literally no other argument/explanation however his fans try and paint it. The logan paul fight was a bit of an eye opener to many about how much size matters, think people were expecting him to unleash a combo and put him away in round 1, not go the whole distance lmao

Yes true, but Floyd, even at a size disadvantage, easily beats Jake.

Still too slick, brilliant defence, difficult for any fighter to hit, even the best welterweights and middleweights would find it hard to hit him cleanly now.

Although he's been in exhibitions lately, you can still see how special he is.

Idk man, an amateurish Cruiserweight who can box ok versus an old welterweight.

If I was the cruiser I’d constantly pressure with high guard and lean on the little guy till he was completely tired out, and then tee off. You can bet a cruiser could easily soak up body punches from a welterweight.

Floyd might be an ATG but this is boxing and there’s limits.

Well, I have to be honest Mayweather you are doing the same thing in your exhibitions, but won’t fight a real boxer. If I recall Paul Spadafora approached you, a former boxer like yourself for an exhibition and security got him out the way quickly and he’s the same age as you, but we see how it’s done! Realness peak game all day on fake sh_t! Fosho

[Tibburon245]

Less risk for a big young guy with a 25 lb advantage. Paul should fight guys his size & age. Floyd can do whatever--he's one of boxing's best.

[hugh grant]

Yes, Paul wants to beat small, old boxer. But Floyd never took the most risky fights if he could help it. I mean if course Floyd would like to fight tenshin, or berto rather than spence, thurman etc

Fraud struggled badly against Logan a couple of years ago. Jake would DESTROY what's left of frail Fraud.

Jake Paul is a circus act .People who say this 'exposure' , with its numbers is good for boxing are wrong. Respect to this self made boxer but it's time to be taken seriously and stop calling out and fighting old or non boxing guys.Boxing is under the microscope again with boxers falling drugs tests and their promoters still trying to get the go ahead , Paul with his '****** act' doesn't help we need top fights and the promoters are failing the sport with their greedy fighters and their own greedy ways. Get real Paul or GTFO!

To an extent I agree. That said, something needs to change with our current promotional system. It is so severely broken and the evidence is everywhere. I have to welcome anyone who shakes that up. Perhaps a new way of doing it that is less dirty is born out of his way of doing things. And perhaps he graduates to real legit boxers - after all, he only has a few fights under his belt. Time will tell
