    Are you f***ing serious. Did you just try to justify possibly ranking Jake because Silva beat Chavez Jr?.....lol.

    First of all.... Chavez Jr was not ranked at the time he lost to Silva.....he hadn't held a world title since 2012. Hell the last 2 times he was even in a 12 round bout was vs Canelo in 2017 and Danny Jacobs a year or so later........Chavez Jr fought Silva in an 8 round bout and LOSS. That was Silva's 5th boxing match......How TF should that be qualification for Jake to be ranked?........
    Now compare that to beating Tommy Fury.

      Bottom line, Paul shouldn't be ranked as a professional boxer until he actually beats a ranked professional boxer. Triangle theories do not apply.

        Triangle theories apply all the time for rankings.

        Nobody seems upset that Sexy Sergio is somehow ranked #1 by the WBA without fighting any ranked fighters. And that could end up getting him killed.

          Be that as it may, I still feel that Paul should defeat a ranked boxer before he is ranked. I really don't see him going far even if the WBC does rank him.

            Wow talk about exciting! As a boxing fan of 32 years, Jake Paul getting a ranking would be the most exhilarating thing!

              I agree. I don't think he SHOULD be ranked. I was just saying it was more understandable to be ranked for beating Silva who had a boxing record of 3-1 against opponents with a combined record of 60-7-1 (with a former WBC world champion) Instead of beating Tommy who has a record of 8-0 against opponents with a combined record of 24-176-5

              Tommy is terrible. He's a reality TV star over there. Not a boxer. He's basically the UK version of Jake Paul except Jake actually takes his training seriously.

                    You claim to be a boxing fan, but a non boxer getting a ranking over other boxers is exiting for you?

                      I was being facetious. IDGAF about that guy. Would love for Tommy to win but if I had to pick a winner here my brain says Jake probably wins.
