The boy lost to Tommy fury FFS , that puts that lead question to bed …

Is this even a serious question?
If he ever fights and beats a real professional active boxer who is his size, then we can talk.

Being fair, he’s probably somewhere top 60 or top 70.

This is a serious problem with boxing and the powers that be, Should Gary Coleman fight Terrance Crawford? Probably not because Gary dead and the same should be with this question in my opinion.

Gotta hand if to him, he's the best self promoter and marketer, making much more money than the best cruiserweights Opetai and Ramirez.

I guess we can also call it as almost separate from the sport in a way, where you see 'influencers fight each other's.

You see a guy like Tommy Fury, whom we thought wanted to seriously aim for a title, but then he's fighting a rapper. He's into earning as much, understandable, and we see he's also at a ceiling, not world champion material.

That's also fine, make as much money and get out with health intact, whatever boxing they call it, misfits, whatever.

Should Bronny James play in this season's NBA All-Star game? You've outdone yourself with this one Lance. LOL...

[Brittney1229]

Huh? Nope!

[Elheath]

Forget top 5, I don't think he can even defeat a guy that is ranked within the top 15 of any organization.

Jake Paul is bigger than popped corn

This is prize fighting and he is earning. He could buy a ranking and it wouldn’t be something new. Nobody even knows when he will decide to try and make a legit run or even at what weight? He could buy a fight against a champ and it would not bother me. This is boxing. If he should be ranked in the top ten in any weight class by merit in the ring? That seems insane even for boxing. He brings money and if he can make a fight then I’m sure it can happen. Cruiser seems like the safest place. I would just keep doing what he is doing. He will need to really want to prove something to himself to take the risk and time to climb a ranking. He cab try that after all the rest of this fringe juice is squeezed.
