    Who takes it?

    This one randomly occurred to me when I was thinking of that it would look like if Usyk really fought Jake Paul. I figured it would look like Holmes-Cobb did. Except, I think it would be worse, because Cob actually had some solid wins.

    What say you?

    Cobb beat Shavers.

    Fighters like Pedro Agosto would be charged for manslaughter after a bout with Paul, let alone a ranked contender.

    The fight would be closer to a 50/50 now than if it was prime Cobb…

    TBF, Paul vs Tyson was more 90-10 or 95-5.

    Cobb easily.

    Even if we took away the skills Cobb did have, he easily soaks up Paul’s offence and then knocks his wilting HGH Head off.

    And, even after winning, Randy comes after Paul again at his motel, just because Jake has an irresistibly punchable face - and Cobb simply wants to experience those “good feels”
    again.

    Did Larry Holmes gives Cobb "good feels"?

    No, Cobb had a competitive fight with Michael Dokes. He was always a contender he was just crude. Cobb would be a top 10 guy today just based on his sheer toughness and aggression, he's better than Chisora and Whyte

    :lol: No. Not at all.

    Funky Larry Lar gave Randy a bunch of vibrations over the full 15 round route BUT none of them were of the GOOD variety -
    at least not from Randy’s perspective.

    Randy joked that he was sipping food through straw after that fight and that the only GOOD that came out of it was Cosell’s retirement from calling boxing.

    Randy will send Jake running the instant he says “Ben Dover!”

    I’m still trying to decide on Mike’s best acting performance - was it in 1) The Hangover or 2) The Jake Paul fight?

    Who knows, Mike might’ve even got paid more for his “role” in the Paul fight.

    Many felt exactly what was coming in the air that night. :D

    Jake Paul should fight Lerena. That would be fun.
