    Jai is hard hitting southpaw cruiserweight. Jai would be a heavyweight in the 70s and 80s. He would be small in the 90s though. Can Holmes overcome the Australian beast ?

    Absolutely. Holmes is 75. Even you and I would destroy him at this point.

    I would think Holmes on points but Jai still has time.

    Holmes is a possible Jake Paul opponent
