Is he ever going to fight a legit boxer in his prime? I think I know the answer. His next fight will be McGregor I'm sure.

Legit KO no matter Woodley’s age. Still would like to see Jake Paul fight someone in their prime to see where he’s at.

If it happens it will be one time, cause he'd get destroyed by a real boxer. That's ok, semi-pro boxing is more entertaining anyways. I'm sure the theater when he fights McGreggor will be epic and they'll both make a ton of money.

Not exactly sure.
Are these like the butter bean matches. Old BB lays out a bunch of people and later on people found out that many were paid good many times take a dive.

I’m sick of this take. He what like 6 fights in to his boxing career? Find a normal boxer besides Lomo that fought anyone at the level of who this guy is fighting to start his career . He fought a legit UFC champion, he was scheduled to fight little fury and fury pulled out. He has legit power and he is learning the game. Everyone wants to see him fight Canelo 6 fights in his career. It’s dumb.

I’m not a big Paul brothers fan but they are bringing excitement to a sport, paying the undercard fighters more than any other promoters out there.

I'd settle for a professional boxer of any quality.

On the other hand, he's getting promoted and paid as though he's mid-career fighting. That is the point- most are just asking the level of competition match the level of hype. Why is it a big deal a guy beats a tiny former basketball player and a bunch of guys that are not boxers?

It reeks of staged money grabs. Fights/boxing loses a lot of legitimacy in terms of the sport if both sides do not need to climb the career ladder by winning. There is a much greater chance this is entertainment/theater than actual boxing.

Hard to blame him though
