    If Jake Paul all of a sudden became incredibly stupid and agreed to fight him and the offer was 30 million, Jai would fight him

    Jake Paul is not incredibly stupid so it won't ever happen

    I'm saying Jai would absolutely fight Jake Paul if he had a real offer

    People fight for money
    Jai gave a belt up for a pay day previously

    Your kidding yourself if you think Jai wouldn't take that money for an very easy night's work

    Nyika would beat Paul like a dog and Opetaia would send him out of the ring in a body bag...

    Any half decent pro would

    It's why such a fight won't ever happen

    Just finished watching fight. Very impressed with Jai’s body work. Nyika did good until that uppercut.

    Then Jake Paul hopefully has his will sorted because the only people getting that $30m are his beneficiaries.

    It would be absolutely brilliant to see Jai get his hands on Jakey boy but it will never happen. No amount of money would get that coward in the ring with a stone cold killer like Opetaia.

    Opetaia seems to devastate most everybody except Briedis.

    Briedis ain't getting any younger, but he seems to come closest of any CW to almost having Opetaia's number. I'd kinda like to see a (for lack of a better term, but since the two fights were so close) rubber match.

    Briedis chin must be made of granite.

    Not a fight I want to see a third time as I think the Latvian is spent.

    But that chin…wow.

    Briedis was/is inhumanly tough.

    You’re talking out of your hole here. Nyika has been world rated by the IBF since May last year. He wasn’t given anything to make the fight viable. He’s rated 10th in the world by the IBF as it stands. Every man rated ahead of him declined the fight.

    Opetaia should stay at Cruiser not sure he does much at HW but could stay undefeated and unified at Cruiserweight, his chin looks shakey when he gets hit but skillwise hes untouchable

    Not everyone can be Usyk and move up, Usyk is bigger than him aswell Opetaia looks 6 foot max, maybe he can just be a great cruiserweight for the rest of his career

    Lol what chu on about?

    David is an Olympic bronze medallist who has been in the IBF ratings (and thus eligible to challenge for the title) for the last 8 or 9 months.
