Jake Paul proves boxing is one of the least talented sports
I don't care where Chavez is right now, there's no other sport where a youtuber could start in their 20s and beat former champions in that sport.
Look at the likes of Wilder or AJ. Never laced up a pair of gloves until they were adults and become world champions. You just can't do that in other sports, no chance.
It's simply down to needing less talent to succeed in boxing.
I don't wanna hear boxers are great sportsmen again. Brave? Absolutely. But it's a sport that people can start very late and still beat champions because the standard of sporting ability is so low.
Put it into perspective...do you think you could never dribble a basketball until the age of 21 and then within a few years be able to compete in a game with even the most mediocre retired NBA player?
there's no way.
Paul, a guy who never boxed until his 20s just did as well against Chavez as prime Canelo did against a badly weight drained stoner Chavez lollll. Boxing is a joke.
Actually, similar studies have always placed boxing among the most demanding sports to practice.

Even so, he's not at all knowledgeable on Boxing.Originally posted by morph_resurrected
He's just mad that Jake Paul won, and venting in a "I'm taking my ball and going home" sort of way.
Insulting the hardest sport there is in the process.Comment

agreed, and i said this before... i believe it was during the jake paul vs tyson... i said a person can start training for 2-3 years and will be competitive against pro level boxers... you cant really do that in any other sports.Comment

"Pro level" is a very broad range. JCC jr was a beneficiary of nepotism himself, and was never all that good, and hes now 39 years old, far removed from his prime and fighting way outside of his natural weight class.
It isnt unfeasible at all that an athletic 28 year old with unlimited access to resources could be competitive with the equivalent of a JCC Jr in other sports. Lets not forget Jake is like 7-8 years into training boxing at this point too.Comment

There are hundreds of so called "pros" out there that have more losses than wins and only exist to pad other peoples records. The term by itself doesnt mean much unfortunately.
You cant really compare boxing to basketball because sports that involve high levels of violence/physicality (combat sports, rugby, American football etc) allow people to brute force their way through a lot of stuff, so raw physical attributes can take you further. You're not throwing a ball into a hoop, you're punching someone in the face.Comment

you are not getting it... yes, i never said they are great pro boxers, but in order to reach pro level and consider a pro, they have to have skills and go thru the process... you cant just say i wanna be a pro boxer today and then be accepted in as a pro boxer, it doesnt work like that. so for them to be a pro boxers, it means they proved themselves worthy. i never said all pro boxers are elite fighters... but to think that if a normal guy trains consistently for 2-3 years, he can be competitive against pro level boxers is just crazy. you cant really do that in other sports...Comment

It isnt 2-3 years in Jakes case though, its 7-8. Hes also not a "normal guy", hes a world famous millionaire with full access to top of the line coaching, training resources and PEDs and also gets to cherry pick and stack the deck in his favour because of who he is.
Not to mention hes fighting at like 200lbs, except the guys hes fighting arent anything like actual cruiserweights in terms of their frame, strength and power and nor is he. He is basically a LHW or Super Middle if he was a serious boxer, because he would be seriously physically outgunned against proper cruisers.Comment
