    No it's highly unlikely.

    If prime Albert Einstein started learning chess and trained for a year at chess he couldn't beat Magnus Carlson.

    Jake Paul is a very actually a good example of someone who is very athletic and genetically gifted btw Do you think he beats Mike Spinks?

    He beats 2025 Michael Spinks. That's the best i can do for him. Although he did beat Mike Tyson who stopped Spinks in 1 round.....

    I’ve heard that before, I used to think (as a kid don’t laugh) I could take guys the size of Khaosai Galaxy for the same reasons some people think AJ would beat Joe Louis lol.

    No, it takes years upon years of constant drilling to perfect your timing in the ring and for those things to become natural to you, you can get decent within 2 months, but it’s not enough to drill things in subconsciously, to a professional level.

    There is so much to boxing, thousands of situations in the rings you have to learn and perfect to be a world class boxer.

    Jon Jones, elite MMA fighter - He could have a small chance.

    Jon Jones, random dude who could've been an elite MMA fighter, but never tried it - No chance outside of a lightning strike.

    ...Again, just IMO.

    Take a man of reasonable age who's 6'5", 250 pounds in great condition but he's never played football before. He gets a world class trainer and he's already strong and athletic. He spends at least 8 hours per day training and gets everything he needs to make him a top tier pro football player

    This goes on for 1 to 2 months. Could he have a chance to start at middle linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs?

    It's easy to say no but then again look at guys like Ortiz and Johnson.

    He would be lucky if Spinks doesn't give him some sort of permanent damage
