Comments Thread For: Jake Paul To Receive WBC World Ranking If He Defeats Tommy Fury

[Rebelrbg]

100% True. I can't stand Jake and I have more respect for Silva than Jake and JCC, but the fact is he beat a guy in JCC who was ranked and Jake beat him. Those are the facts, however they are interpreted.

Silva was damn near 50 years old!

[SN!PER]

Jake almost ready for Beterbiev

I'm actually surprised the WBC didn't create a belt just for this fight

The WBC Content Creater Belt, yours now for a percentage of your purse fee. Im surprised too. Obv WBC will do anything for money.

Which is a pretty good feat for a UFC guy no matter how bad the ranked JCCJ was. Even Mercer did pretty good KOing a UFC fighter.

I didn’t say it was a good win. Just that junior was ranked.

everyone was screaming for Jake to fight junior. Instead he fought the guy who beat Junior

You suggested a Youtuber who has fought ZERO professional boxers, should be ranked because he beat a former mma guy who beat a guy who is only ranked because of his father's name.

WBC will strip Makabu and give Paul a title shot

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm laying out the facts. Silva beat a former WBC world champion, and then Paul beat him 6-8 months later.

Comical...

The comment was said to be off-handed. I don't know where he will rank, hopefully much lower than the top 200, but the fact is, anyone with boxing knowledge knows that organizations rank fighters all the time that haven't fought anyone to deserve a high ranking or any ranking. The only thing he is worthy of being ranked of is the only fighter on the planet with that much publicity and making that much money with 6 fights simply because people love nut cases like him. I despise what he is doing to boxing with his circus act.

Yea, the comment can be taken as "off-handed" banter, but on every platform I've visited, most of those making those comments aren't aware of how many fighters compete in each division.

And I agree, these organization throw rankings out there at what many of us see as "random" most times, but they do have ample amounts of people evaluating the fighters as they compete in the various countries they are competing in. Obviously, are a bit motivated by the marketability of each fighter vs specific opponents, but this situation is ridiculous.

Jake Paul calls himself not only a professional fighter, but he seriously think he's one of the elites in the sport.....yet he has never attempted to fight an active professional fighter/boxer. It's a damn shame if he is to end up in any rankings after an 8 round bout with Tommy Fury.

In fairness, Jake beat Silva who beat Chavez Jr who WAS ranked.

so I’d prefer Jake got ranked off that rather than beating Fury’s weak ass

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?........
