    Buster Douglas not Tokyo Douglas. I’m talking the version who got floored by Holyfield.

    No worries... I already knew about this pretty well, but will admit, I had to do a little research to get the exact numbers before posting haha! :D

    Paul now. Anytime he was a professional I pick Douglas.

    After beating Tyson Douglas could completely stop training for a year and still beat Paul as long as he was at or below 280 lbs.

    Poor Paris.

    At least she has escaped her evil dad's clutches.

    Tank is to small so it's gotta be Andre

    Question: What’s more cringe then Jake Paul?

    Answer: “Can I as ask one question? Can I be #1 P4P now?”

    Rumours swirling that Jake is eyeing up Floyd next. Floyd struggled with Logan and couldn’t KO him and found him hard to hit. Jake has a big chance to KO Floyd, who you got?

    It's certainly hard to put personal dislike/annoyance aside but just from what you've seen of his skill set how do you rate him?

    Perhaps specifically how do you rate him as a cruiserweight?

    Jake isn't koing Floyd. Floyd is too skilled defensively.

    Floyd by decision.

    He’s very good given his experience level.

    I don’t rate him anywhere as a pro boxer because he hasn’t fought a rated pro boxer.

    But he’s good for the amount of time he’s been doing it.

    Not highly to be honest.

    I was actually somewhat optimistic about him. He is reasonably tall and has a good powerful right hand. I mean it isn't the Bredis type of right hand but it is a good punch nonetheless.

    We can't rate him as a cruiser since he has not fought anyone who is even a top 30 ranked cruiser. I would favour any of the top 20-30 cruisers to beat him.

    Is Paul fundamentally solid, athletic and powerful? Sure. But none of that means anything unless those skills and power are tested vs a top 30 ranked opponent.

    Until Paul steps in with a real boxer, i rate him as the Kim Kardashian of boxing. Talented but not serious about boxing.
