    I cant wait. People wanted the end of the Jake express, and this will be it in emphatic and entertaining fashion.

    AJs not a champion, hes not number 1 oe 2, hes not p4p#1, he has no obligations, no reason to not take a quick easy payday like this, so while I get the criticism on him for taking it, I also dont. Smash Jake, grab a huge back, make headlines, and then back to business in real boxing.

    AJ needs to show Paul zero respect like he did Ngannou. Just go in there focus on that Chin and obliterate it with a savage right hand. If AJ hits Paul with the same right hand he KOed Ngannou with I'm not sure Paul will have a career after that.

    I have to say that if this fight ends up not being rigged in any way, shape or form (meaning Joshua is going to be fighting full throttle, no holding back etc), I’ll have nothing but respect for Jake Paul. He doesn’t need the money, he knows what AJ is capable of and he is putting himself into this fight at the risk of serious humiliation and pain. He's got serious balls and self belief if this is a legit fight. Fair play to him.

    (I’m not convinced it’s an all out real fight though).

    I think Joshu will be holding back. He's got to. If he hits Fake Paul with the shots he hit Nagannou with he could cause serious permanent damage. This isn't a game.

    I think this is just irresponsible all round.

    Anyone sanctioning this fight should be automatically put in front of a judge.

    We all thought that about Fury vs Francis Ngannou but then....

    If AJ doesnt stop him in two it's one hundred percent scripted behind multiple non disclosure agreements.

    If Paul crushes Joshua with a devastating knockout, will all of you recency biased types admit that the older generations of great heavyweights would rule over these unskilled behemoths that we have today?

    Why's this a dangerous mismatch but everyone is happy to watch a journeyman like Raphael Zumbano Love get absolutely sparko'd by some heavy hitting HW looking to pad their record.

    But then... nganu literally needed oxygen to wake up after being savagely punched by Joshua and never stepped into a boxing ring anymore.

    Sanctioning stupid fights can lead to people dying or having permanent serious damage, and that's no joke.

    Good point.

    What I find unethical is having small journeymen from poor countries who normally fight in lower weight divisions move up in weight with short notice to fight strong up-and-coming prospects in bigger divisions.

    Jake Paul can take care of himself, and he's not a small man. He's actually bigger than many heavyweights such as Joe Frazier and Rocky Marciano.

    Anthony Joshua is the most overrated HW boxer of my life time.

    All you need to do at this point of his career it tap him on the chin.
