Jake Paul Phony Fights Discussion

Berlanga is really not that good but neither is Jake Paul. Berlanga at least has decent conditioning, has been training in this sport his whole life, and puts his punches together pretty well. The shell of Chavez Jr was landing every time he let his hands go against Paul in the latter half of the fight and if that were Berlanga landing those shots then Paul would be in a hospital right now.

 

It's three fights and the one in the middle was probably worse than Jake Paul's opposition. I can't actually name anyone Basura beat without going on Boxrec. Can't say the same for Jake.

 

Berlanga really doesn't fight like someone who's been in the game as long as he has been.

 

Yeah but even still Jake Paul is an amateur with bad fundamentals. He only started fighting well into his 20s and late starters always have a hard time in the pros unless they’re physically talented and Paul really isn’t all that physically talented. Getting beaten down the stretch by a middle-aged weed addict in Chavez Jr and getting beaten by a stiff domestic level guy like Tommy Fury I think speak to how limited and average Paul is. The guy Berlanga blasted out recently is more credible than any of the guys Paul has stopped imo, Gonzalez-Ortiz was a world-level amateur and a decent prospect for a while before his career came off the rails when he went to jail. Jake Paul hasn’t even beaten anyone as good as Steve Rolls or Marcelo Coceres. The size difference isn’t that big either since Paul carries way too much weight for a cruiser and could probably compete at 175 if he cut properly and tried to get more of a boxer physique.

 

Yeah, no ****. Berlanga would destroy Joke Paul, as would anyone with a pulse.

 

Would the Tyson From the Jones Jr. Exhibition have beaten Jake Paul?

Would that iteration of RJJ have?

 

No because it wasn't a fight, it was a scam

 

He seemed to have a lot more to offer.

 

I don't know if Tyson from the Spinks fight beats Jake Paul

 

No.

 

Both were fixed outcome bouts.

 

Joe Frazier wins

 

The Tyson of 4 years ago seemed a lot livelier and mobile. But im not sure what the score is with Paul and all these old legends falling to him.

 

No.

I don't think theres anyone except maybe Foreman/Archie Moore who could have beaten Jake Paul(or any prospect of Pauls caliber) north of age 52 or 53. And Tyson was cooked before he was 40. Hes not the sort of guy you'd test the limits of longevity with.

Oliver McCalls fighting at 60 and look at the caliber of guy hes struggling to beat now. Look at the guys Ron Lyle was beating in his mid 50s. You've got to dig deep into the professional ranks to find wins at that age.

The age gap between Tyson and RJJ was a mere 3 years. A lot of old fighters can look amazing on the senior circuit. If we have Foreman fight Bugner or Holmes in 2010 well all of a sudden Foreman looks pretty good. But its all an illusion.

A lot of middle aged people are in pure denial on this issue and the realitys of aging.

 

There were posters on this forum that were adamant this iteration of Tyson would look good.
