Jake Paul is tough and brave

[Superbee]

So brave he's gonna have to eat liquids with a straw for a couple months... We won't see him in a ring for a while, which isn't a bad thing ...

Focus on your Promoter career Jake... Much safer and the ladies appreciate what you do for them...

[SouthpawRight]

Yes, that is very true. This kid is box office. Whether us boxing fans want to admit this fact or not.

He has taken his online profile as a YouTuber and social media influencer to a whole different level.

Also, he is giving us boxing fans the fights that we want to see win or lose.

Jake vs Chase

Put highly promising prospects on the undercard

everybody benefits

I don't think it was brave either other than the minimal that we expect from men who have the balls to step into a combat sports arena and fight.

ESPECIALLY when there's people who are doing this and not even making a FRACTION of what he makes. Life long boxers.

That isn't exactly true though is it. Social media was filled with comments that at first he would never fight AJ. When it was announced lot of people were still claiming he would pull out. Then there were all those, lot of them, claiming it will be staged. Wasn't staged he got his jaw broken. I'll give him the credit. I don't give AJ any credit for taking 6 rounds to stop a youtuber. Yeah he made it awful running and clinching but AJ looked flat footed and slow himself . I'm no fan of the youtuber either I only watched his 2 fights when he fought pros Fury and AJ and he lost both as expected. AJ is washed. If he did not fight a youtuber he was going to fight Chaney (not even a top 50 heavyweight), shows how much he has fallen off. I don't even expect him to fight anyone that is a threat next, will be another pointless opponent to get to the Fury bag

He didn't fight AJ.

He stood in the ring I'll give him that. But he just... ran. He certainly didn't fight.

All he wanted to do was survive longer than people thought he would, thinking it would win him praise. But no one was impressed.

[NoConcoms]

Whatever he does people will complain about, he fought an active world class heavyweight and people are still moaning

Is that really your definition of fighting?

[Toffee]

It's not courage and he wasn't brave. Anyone could and would do what he did given the money offered.

He might have been slightly brave if he actually tried to box rather than playing this weird game of "how long can I run around and wrestle without getting stopped".

It highlighted that this Jake Paul stuff is a freak show and always was a freak show. He's not a boxer and should no longer be sanctioned as such. Boxers make fights and then go in to fight. They don't do the comedy skit running away thing.

If someone wanted to argue that he put himself at risk for the financial benefit of undercard fighters and particularly the female co-main then I might have more sympathy with that view.

AJ didn't fight him either. Missed wildly some shots. Stopped him when the youtuber was gassed. Wins him praise. A youtuber turned cruiserweight, not even a top 50 crusierweight, fought a ex unified heavyweight champ. No one should be giving AJ any credit either. He has not won a fight vs a real pro in 2 years. He is also the ones who chased the youtuber, Hearn has been talking up the Paul fight for months, when Tank got it he said 'Tank is half checked out and probably doesn't even want to carry on fighting just wants the money' funny that AJ stepped in, who is doing exactly the same, is checked out fighting nobodies till he gets to the Fury pay day so he can retire with that last big check

He was brave for getting up from those knockdowns knowing he was going to get KTFO. He could have stayed down in the 5th and saved himself what the people paid to see.

Sure, he could have done that. But the backlash would be insane. Even though he had his jaw broken on the last KD, he wasn't unconscious. If he really wanted to, he could have continued. He wouldn't be the first fighter to continue fighting with a broken jaw. That being said, nobody is going to badmouth him for not continuing, either. A broken jaw is a pretty serious injury.

Who's giving AJ praise? Not seen anyone do that. But the fact you wrote all this based on that tells me that your entire opinion on Paul is based AJ, something deep rooted I think.

It was simply a money grab... From both. But Jake Paul is no fighter. He should try professional tag, probably be good at that.
