      Jake winning or even doing ok hurts the legitimacy of elite level boxing. In theory only a few guys in the entire world should have any chance of beating AJ in a boxing ring.

        If a Youtuber called Jake Paul beat a former Olympian and World Champion who has rose to the height of our sport then it would make boxing look really bad tbh.

            At least Francis had some credentials as the HW champion of another combat sport, AJ has to crush Paul early for it to not look bad.

              Yeah I think so. AJ is virtually finished now, it's not like he's the future of the division anymore so it's not that blasphemous to cheer for JP.

              I personally will be hoping AJ splatters Paul within the first minute and will be disappointed if he doesn't, though.

                  Yeah, but if you want to give credence to Ngannou's credentials as it relates to boxing, then why not give the same to Paul who also beat guys with those same credentials?

                  JP has more pro boxing experience than Ngannou.

                    nothing bad to say about Jake

                    he became rich young

                    yet opted for the hard path boxing instead of continuing as entertainer clown
