    I will be impressed if you can think of any at all.
    Ernest hemingway challenging the heavyweight champion comes to mind, but then again he was laughed off...

    I dunno, Hrgovic vs De Mori is a bigger mismatch in my opinion. I honestly believe i would beat Mark De Mori and thats not even me making a joke.

    Yep. AJ has always been at his most dangerous when he's pissed off. That's why I've always said, if I was a boxer facing AJ, I would kiss his ass and make him feel like we're friends... Ruiz acted like a fan and AJ was way too relaxed going into that fight. Whereas the likes of Whyte, and Pulev really got under his skin... I remember AJ giving Pulev a death stare the moment he got into the ring.

    A handy nightclub bouncer, with a decent dig on him would be the favourite against De Mori.

    I believe Jake is insinuating Tommy Fury turned down the fight, even with a 15 million offer. Dumb move on Tommy's part if true

    Tommy won’t be offered anything more for the rest for his life. Pretty even fight. Lad should have taken the money.

    He’s not a top 80 fighter at any weight. There are more than 80 fighters at every weight 160lbs and up who would beat Jake Paul. AJ is still a top 15 heavyweight.

    That's the thing. Boxing is filled with grotesque mismatches as fighters pad their records. It's perfectly feasible that Jake Paul is better than than some of the cabbies Wilder beat on his way up. The only difference is that this is a main event, but I don't think it's any more dangerous than the record-padding fights that go on in the background all the time.

    Jake Paul is probably better than 5-10 of AJ's early opponents coming up through the ranks.

    I'd be more worried about AJ doing 8, 2 minute rounds than 8, 3 minute rounds. For a fully fledged two time world champ who has gone 12, 3 minute rounds with zero issue? AJ could go balls out blitzkrieg for 8, 2 minute rounds.

    Pffft... they had a small confrontation, and I doubt Dubois could honestly **** anyone off that much. I think AJ just saw him as a "cheeky little boy" rather than a true enemy. I think he underestimated him majorly. He had real scorn for the likes of Pulev and Whyte, who had constantly wound him up, and he wanted to hurt them badly. All I'm saying is, don't give AJ any motivation. It's dumb.
