    People are so threatened by Jake cause he’s a cocky Disney channel kid. He wasn’t supposed to get this far. If I asked you 10 years ago does this kid ever have a chance against anyone he’s fought you’d say hell no.

    Would just barely help if he knocked Jake Paul out in the first round.

    Beating up other bums makes you the best bum but you are still a bum

    Funny how when it’s Floyd, Fury or Tank fighting MMA fighters / Jake Paul they’re criticised for mocking the sport, but when AJ does it (twice) he’s “saving the sport” lol

    Whether he "can" is not even in question - he's a massive hitting heavyweight who's got nothing whatsoever to prove in the power department.

    The real questions are:
    1) Whether he's allowed to knock him out at all.
    2) Even if he is - whether he feels obliged to carry Paul for a few rounds for the sake of spectacle.

    No one is threatened. That's just internet troll talk dude. When you get older, you'll understand. But I mean, WTF is there to be threatened by to begin with?? He's loved by idiots mostly under 30. Big whoop.

    If you asked me ten years ago, we'd be saying nothing, because ten years ago he fought no one. Did you or anyone predict this? Of course not. That statement doesn't even make sense.

    I cannot understand why people are having difficulty realizing that Anthony Josuha is an enormously large man. What on Earth does a shot Middleweight have to do with a former HW champion of the world?

    Probably not.

    The thing that makes it a farce is if Joshua carries Paul through it without really hurting him (and wins wide) it'll be taken as guaranteed that there was a no-KO clause by some, and evidence of how shot he is by others, or how JP is much better than anyone thought ( :goofy: )...

    It's such a meaningless mismatch that you can't help thinking there's something fishy going on, isn't it?

    I'm amazed Jake Paul didn't put 12oz gloves in the contract...hell even 14oz gloves....

    The ego and delusional from jake paul has reached levels of stupidity not even I thought he'd get to.

    He's in for a huge wake up call as soon as that bell goes in a few days time, that ego is gonna be taken back down a peg or 3 very quickly.

    Rollseyes!

    Yep if it is all above board I really don't see how he even survives the first round unless AJ actually toys with him for a bit.
