There are few things better than a great Boxing bout, and this one is going to be big when it comes to numbers, but with the dangers attached to the fight, this could come with serious consequences. This sport is dangerous enough as it is, and this fight should not be allowed to happen on safety grounds.
Some need to take off their rose-tinted glasses. It's not 2017 anymore. Prime Joshua's win over Wlad cemented his legacy, but he's no longer that guy. Joshua has been on a long downward slide for some time, and the beating he took from Dubois in his last fight should have prevented him from being allowed to go straight back in at world-level.
Jake Paul's lone defeat was 3 years ago to the unbeaten Tommy Fury. The loss was close and controversial, with Jake putting Tommy on the floor in the last round. It seemed like he had done enough, but all the same, his near 3-year unbeaten streak has seen his resume become one of the best in boxing, and the improvements are there for all to see. He is undeniably The Face of Boxing, whether you like it or not, and he is also the Face behind everything that's good in Women's boxing.
On ability, Jake Paul is Top 10 P4P, and on punch power, Top 3 P4P. Joshua should not be anywhere near a ring against a guy like this right now. I only hope that Jake Paul takes it easy on his declining foe, maybe targets the body more to lower the damage and that Joshua gets pulled out by his corner after about 4 rounds, so he can go home and stay safe, like Kugan Cassius, and reminisce on what has been a great career. But his days are done in boxing now, at the elite table anyway, one reserved for the likes of Jake Paul.
We can only pray that Joshua does not get too hurt in this fight, but really, it should not be sanctioned. These are two guys going in opposite directions. Money talks, but it's not worth more than Joshua's health, safety, and well-being. Nash out - His Majesty
