What the absolute fuck are the WBA playing at here? They need taking out of the sport. This is too much.

I'm interested.

I want to see how far Jake is willing to go. Will he fight a world ranked cruiserweight or somehow fight for the title? Or any of the the other fantastical fights he's mentioned?

I take it for what it is. An interesting sideshow.

blame the weakzz boxers who gave Jake this opportunity by losing to him... props to Tommy Fury!! the only boxer who wasnt afraid of Jake.

not far if he actually fights a real boxers who's not in it for a paycheck.

I'm not surprised. It's unfair to those who have actually earned their rankings, vs some Youtuber who beats up retired and semi-retired fighters. But you know what? Maybe after one of these top-ranked guys knocks Paul's dick in the dirt, he'll finally acknowledge that there are levels to this sport, and he's at the bottom.

There's no way he fights Ramirez. I could see him trying his luck with Badou Jack though, given his age (41).

Lol exactly ,Fake Paul getting a real beatdown with a nasty KO included would be the only positive thing we could get outa this whole mess, Jakie boy world title pipe dream would be shattered completely in spectacular fashion once and for all lol

1. It would prove that the WBA truly is the trash org out of the 4 major orgs right now.
2. It would be really funny because if Paul did win then he's backed himself into a corner and it's sink or swim and his matchmaking has not helped him at all. I mean that if he wins the title then he can't defend it against a 40+ year old ex MMA fighter or a shot ex boxer, he'll be forced to fight the top 10 of his division or fighters coming up a division. He's going to have to fight young, in their prime, hungry fighters who are going to punch more, harder, and with far badder intentions then any of his opponents. I bring up matchmaking because none of his opponents have prepared him for the kind of guys you see in the top 10.

'Boxing' is not an abstract entity that can prevent anything. You've supported the sanctioning bodies through the worst of their crimes and this is the apotheosis.

This bum will lose to every top 20 cruiserweight. Easy work.
