    Canelo will destroy Paul. If he doesn't, he needs to take a good hard look at himself.

    If Paul wins - dude has conquered this life. Everyone should worship him as a God since it's impossible to be so lucky. Maybe we're all part of his simulation.

    He won't. No reason for him to not try to take him out as early as AJ did against Ngannou. It would serve nothing for Canelo's brand to win a decision going a full 10 rounds with Jake, that would be a moral victory for Paul.

    I hope you're right but I have my suspicions after seeing that clip of Tyson having a clear shot at his haw,but punching the shoulder

    I'll not be watching anyway,just like i didn't watch Tyson or any of his fights, it's a farce

    Is this a joke? Canelo smashes him to bits.

    Because, Paul is somewhere between a good street fighter and a mid to low level pro. Canelo is a top tier, P4P 20 year pro. The experience and skill gap nullifies any size advantage and most of the power difference between them.

    Jake Paul already trash talking on twitter. I wonder if he annoys Canelo during the build up if Canelo will swing on him like he did to Plant.
