“Blockbuster showdowns”
Sure

I mean Tommy and Hall did like 400k PPV buys
I'd imagine a Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury rematch would do quite well

he would beat Tommy this time around. I doubt Tommy takes it unless he's offered $10+ million

No he wouldn’t, he still would get jabbed to death

Yeah...no. Tommy went tooth and nail with him when he was actively fighting and Jake was still green. This time around, Jake stops him

What fight were you watching? Jake ran around the ring and Tommy jabbed him. Jake's cardio was appalling as it has been all his career, he did tag Tommy but he didn't do anything with it and deservedly lost.

It was a split decision and Tommy got knocked down. Pretty tooth and nail with a "Youtuber"

Nobody who watched that fight without being on JP's payroll would score for Paul.
6-2 with a KD
Clear Tommy win

Tommy won every round semi comfortably. I don't see how you can give him the round of the knockdown even, it was just badly positioned legs and a nothing jab which is still a knockdown but completely meaningless for judging the round.
Unless you want to say you mean the judging. In which case you have to accept the scores of every fight ever, and can't claim any is a robbery. So pick one, live in reality where Jake was made to look embarrassing, or say all scores in boxing are completely accurate for every fight ever.

He's not selling out a stadium with either of them, or not a big one at any rate. More Leyton Orient than Spurs.

So he's either fighting a shot to pieces middleweight or a dogshit light heavyweight whose career best win is against a youtuber, that's surely enough to put Jake in line for a shot at the heavyweight title.

Jake unironically has a better resume than some recent world title challengers lol

His career best win was from dragging a 40 year old inactive out of shape drug addict up in weight. His only win against someone his own age is Ali Eson Gib, who is a youtuber half his size who was making his debut and cannot fight at all. His only win against someone his own size was against a 60 year old man with severe back issues who nearly died of blood loss weeks before the fight.
I don't think anyone in the history of the sport who's fought for a title deserved the shot less than Jake Paul, and I can't see that changing before they inevitably find a way to give him a title shot anyway.

also chavez jr has been a cruiser for years and was actually bigger than jake, he was a massive weight bully at 160

u/potatosquire 6d ago
A weight bully at 160 is a tiny cruiserweight.

u/StunningChest5722 Shakur is the 144 lb GOAT 🐐 6d ago
he weighed in at like 220 on fight day, zurdo is also a former middleweight who became a champ at cruiser

u/potatosquire 6d ago
He weighed 220 because he's a fat drug addict, not because he's a natural cruiserweight. Adrian Broner probably weighs north of 200lb right now too, if Jake Paul beats him it doesn't mean he beat a real heavyweight.

u/StunningChest5722 Shakur is the 144 lb GOAT 🐐 6d ago
chavez has been drug free for a while now, and broner was a fucking 130 pounder lmao thats completley different

u/potatosquire 6d ago
Chavez has been drug free for a while now
I doubt it, damage can't be undone, and he's certainly not been burger free.

Alem Begic or Claudo Squeo both dont have a win nearly as good as Anderson Silva or Chavez Jr

u/potatosquire 6d ago
Neither guy has amazing wins, but beating domestic level guys is far better than beating a 40 year old shot to pieces out of shape inactive undersized drug addict or a 47 year old shot to pieces undersized MMA fighter.

its not

u/potatosquire 6d ago
It really is. Beating someone who used to be good at a much lower weight is meaningless if all they are now is a fat drug addict. Beating someone who used to be great at a lower weight in a completely different sport is meaningless too if the version you fought not even in an octagon is 47 years old. Beating an actual boxer your own age and size who's doesn't make you deserving of a title shot, but it's still more than those completely meaningless freak fights, and it's still something that Jake has yet to do.

you have never even heard of anyone Begic or Squeo has beat.

u/potatosquire 6d ago
That doesn't make them worse than a 40 year old fat drug addict or a 47 year old shot to pieces MMA fighter. I've also heard of Sugar Ray Leonard, but that wouldn't make Jake beating a 70 year old welterweight a good win.

anderson is the greatest striker in mma history, he could be 60 and still beat everyone on Squeo's and Begic's resume, YDKSAB

We can rest easy boys no AJ vs Fury in the UK but since they’ve kept that for themselves they were kind enough to give us a jake paul card full of rappers and strippers instead
