    Connor MeGregor
    Mayweather
    Canelo
    Retire at 30
    Comeback @ 40 to fight Tank in exhibition.

    Good chance for 2 of those to likely come true imo.

    and beterbiev should take the fight at hw. he would still crush paul. pauls size advantage cant overcome bievs game. beterbiev is just big and strong enough to ko paul if he catches him consistently. and hes still fighting at a level where he can find him if he wants to.

    Exactly, just meet Jake at 200 lbs CW, which is probably not far off of Artur's walking weight. So, yeah, Jake would still have some size advantage but it would be dwarfed by the skill difference.

    Jake, will actually not take this fight because he knows he would likely lose and will just claim that Artur doesn't have a name, or is a nobody, and continue to call out Conor and Canelo.

    What’s Artur’s walk around weight? He’s probably not far off 200. If he did a camp with no weight cutting and no leaning down, he’d probably be able to show up at 201 while not screwing his body like RJJ did.

    Beterbiev could walk in at 175 and still crush Jake. The gulf in skill will overcome the size difference. I mean, look at Usyk and Fury — the difference in skill between Usyk and Fury is minuscule compared to Beterbiev and Jake Paul.

    and a hard hitting LHW is certainly no less hard hitting than an average hitting HW.

    a 175 lb man at fighting weight is still a big guy. and fighting at bievs level, a guy at pauls level cant compete. and biev goes hard 12 rds, so whatever time is set hes gonna be throwing bone crushers. even with the novelty gloves its gonna disorient paul. canelo would do the same.
    paul cant catch guys fighting at that level. hes fast, but he throws long, so its easy to see. and hes predictable, so its easy to figure out which holes open up in which situation. pauls just not prepared for that level from guys that size.

    Remember Razor Ruddock's brief comeback attempt in 2015 at age 51?

    Also, he and James Toney came back to do an exhibition fight just last year.

    The truth is Jake Paul or anyone like him would beat almost all ATGs in their late 50s. The ones who were bigger than Jake could have put on a better showing than Tyson did. Foreman and Liston(who never reached that age) would have the best chance. With someone like a Valuev 7 ft tall 320 pounds is 7 ft tall 320 pounds maybe he could win.

    Lyle was wrecking terrible fighters(who were much worse than Paul) at 54. Foreman was going to come back to fight Tua at that age. But we don't really have a comp for someone being good at Tysons current age. Archie Moore, Duran, Hopkins. None of them were still fighting at 52. And that seems to be a brick wall so far as aging goes.

    Is Jake still allowed to be on heavy PEDs like he was vs Tyson? Then only George Foreman has a true chance at that age range.

    The 52 year old Larry Holmes who beat Butterbean probably beats Paul. Even that version of Holmes still would have had a better jab than anything Paul has seen up to this point in his career
