    Exactly. It was very stupid. And for someone who can make huge money against anyone he wants.... hes going to tarnish his reputation for slightly more money than hed normally make.

    Not win win for me because if Jake beats Tank that still makes boxing look bad... most people in the sports world will still see this freakshow as a youtuber vs one of boxings best fighters. Boxing will be disparaged if Jake beats Tank. Which he could very well wind up doing.

    Just saw Jake say in an interview the weight will be set at 195 lbs, whole thing is hilarious.

    No attempt to even try to meet Tank halfway.

    He's already claiming the Tyson victory as legitimate and that he has beating Mike Tyson on his resume. He'll say the exact same thing about Tank if he gets the win.

    Will try Floyd next I'm sure. Floyd will probably accept, as he's always spending money like it's going out of fashion.

    Most if the world knew Tyson was meaningless at that point. The world thinks Tank is one of boxings best.

    Wont be a good look.

    195 lbs Paul is gonna KO Tank lmao.

    Tank is a total dumb ass taking this fight, the Jake from 2-3 years ago he can win, but he isn't beating a 7 years deep, 200 lbs solid cruiserweight who trains as hard as champions with a world class team.

    Jake will rehydrate to well past 200 lbs too.

    Let's assume Tank weighs in at a pudgy 150 lbs, even with the much higher skill level he has, any kind of fight between a 150 lbs man and an over 200 lbs man is a recipe for disaster.

    Jake will absolutely be swinging for KOs too, unlike with Tyson there won't be any potential elder abuse backlash.

    I read that it will be an exhibition so who knows if it will even be a legit fight?

    Agree with this both guys are terrified of losing and being embarrassed it will be a exhibition sparring session.
    Jake Paul never had any intention of fighting AJ.

    True. I expect it will be though.

    I imagine they made it an exhibition either because it wouldnt have been sanctioned or Tanks people didn't want a Jake loss on his pro record.

    But ya it def takes more away from the legitimacy of an already illegitimate and circus show event.

    Yep and vice versa Jake doesn't want to risk an official loss. He was happy to make the fight with Tyson an official fight because Mike was a senior citizen but as small as Tank is there is a chance he could time Paul and put his lights out in a legit fight.

    Davis: 30 YO, 5 ft 5 inches, 67.5 in reach
    Paul: 28 YO, 6 ft 1 inch, 76 inch reach

    Who you got?

    I think for everyone that finds Tank annoying and wants to see him KO'd, here's your opportunity.

    What say you?
