Who is the most badass boxer of all time?

Ted Stickles · Jan 2, 2023

There’s been a few so it’s hard to pinpoint one.

Langford
Greb
Duran
Liston
Armstrong

A lot of the old school fighters fought in multiple weight classes sometimes drastically outweighed

To name a few

Goran_ · Jan 2, 2023

Duran , Locche, Tyson

CooperKupp · Jan 2, 2023

Shout to Dempsey

Levook · Jan 2, 2023

There is a common belief amongst boxing fans, that many or most of Tyson's opponents that he beat, feared him, and that enabled him to beat them. In fact, they go further and say that anyone that 'stood up' to Mike could beat him.

I've probably seen most of Tyson's fights at one time or another, I don't remember too many guys running or fighting scared? I'm not talking intros/staredowns, I mean during the fighting.

Anyone know who Tyson 'beat mentally', off the top of the head?

All Floyd has over him is boxing experience, like I said, a 25 y/o Jake has already eclipsed him in terms of accomplishments, quality of opposition, fame, and generational wealth at the same stages of their respective careers and by a giant margin too.

In his first ever fight he stopped common opponent Deji quicker than Floyd could in his 56th. What more needs to be said?

And Jake's brother scored a massive event win over Floyd by lasting the distance against him in just his second ever fight and Sugar Logan Sweet Hands Paul ain't no Jake. Floyd don't want no smoke with lil bro. Trust me Jake's right hand from hell will bury him in the dirt face down if he ever mans up.

Langford absolutely has to be up there, he was almost universally spoken about in reverent tones by his peers and historians, everyone seemed to be in awe of him.

I always thought Langford was five foot eight, but I just googled and the top result was five six and a half! Do any of you old time experts know how tall Sam actually was? If it's five six and a half, that just makes this thread even more incredible!

From reports, footage and photos, 5ft 6.5ins is my guess.

Jake is still only 25 y/o, Olu

Floyd was raiding bins, wearing hand-me-downs and eating Pot Noodle at 25

Jake ''Money'' Paul pocketed a cool $40 in 2021

He had three fights in 2021

You do the mathematics

Floyd was raised from the crib to fight by actual world class professional boxers and world champions

He had almost 100 amateur fights, culminating in Olympic bronze (he wasn't good enough to win gold)

He fought trash in his first six fights even though he, as said, was raised from the crib to fight and had almost 100 amateur fights and was an Olympian

He wasn't earning Floyd money until he was like 30 y/o and even then he had to piggyback off Oscar's star power to transform him into a star and increase his purses dramatically

Conversely, Jake is an influencer who came from a Disney background, didn't take up the sport until he was like 21

He only had one amateur fight

In fact, Jake knocked out the guy who Floyd fought in his last fight, which was like Floyd's 56th fight or something, in that lone amateur fight ie. his first ever fight, and he did it quicker than Floyd was able to

Jake could win an Olympic gold medal in his sleep if the Olympics was tomorrow, Floyd could only manage to come away with a bronze

In just six pro fights Jake has conquered three sports: YouTube boxing, Basketball, and MMA x 4, and he has defeated a GOAT, a five time world champion welterweight ATG x 2, and one of the most highly decorated amateur wrestlers ever, and he earned a king's ransom in the process and he's still only 25 y/o

Floyd was fighting vagrants, binmen, and fishermen until he had well over twice the amount of fights Jake has now and he was earning peanuts for over a decade

A 25 y/o 6 six fight novice Jake has been shamelessly ducked by the brother of the HW GOAT and current undefeated WBC HW champ, former unified IBF, WBA and WBO champ, and also by the son of two time HW champion, former unified WBC & IBF, and the WBC again, champion who sparked out top 10, some say top 5 ATG HW great Lennox Lewis

Imagine Floyd or any of our boxing idols came from a Disney background like Jake did instead of the vast majority from hardship and poverty? Not a single one of them would've achieved a goddamn thing in the sport of boxing. Jake has casually moseyed in on his mule and not only taken over the sport he's revolutionized the whole game at just 25 years of age

Floyd has never put anyone to sleep like this, let alone a 5 x world champion/top 5 welterweight ATG

Hands down KO of the Century

Jake is the GOAT

And he still got Floyd's hat

If your boy wants it back tell him to come see Jake

I don’t usually do this but I dare you to post a poll on Mayweather the real money against Jake the fake rake Paul to see who is the TBE. You make the case for Paul and put up the poll. I won’t even need to make the case just vote.

Instead of doing a poll why don't you just petition your boy to stop running and man up and take the Jake ''Money'' Paul challenge, Olu. Jake has been calling Floyd out aggressively for ages. He wants that smoke. Floyd is the one who is running in the opposite direction from the smoke. He fought the weaker 0-1 brother but he won't dare challenge the King

Floyd so threatened by The Jakeover he even trained Tyron Woodley to try and beat Jake. Instead of stepping up to the plate himself he got Tyron to do his dirty work for him and he failed abysmally on both fronts.

Jake racked up four victories in that one fight. He beat the sport of MMA, Woodley, Floyd and the odds

This content is protected

ATG welterweight and five time world champion Tyron been training boxing down at the Wild Card gym since 2009 but he couldn't beat this supposed ''not real boxer'' Jake even with TBE training him.

This content is protected

Listen to your boy making excuse after excuse after Jake's 0-1 brother scored a huge event win over him by taking him the distance and pushing him real close. Sugar Sweet Hands Logan Paul is to Jake what Bobby Pacquaio is to Manny

Treat yourself to some gotcha hat merch, Olu
