It is a poor record agreed but....he does have a record against other boxers (even though there is only 2 wins between them all <Lmaoo>) Its still better than Paul's recored of fighting 0 boxers.
Plus he does have somewhat of an amateur record - national finalist and 2x regional champions along with fighting at the back of the caravan infront of the Dags.
Yeah Tommys opponents are weak paddings as are most pro boxers when starting a career and nobody has heard of you, nobody knew who he was until all the uk bitches were gushing over him on love island, but i mean, the guys he beat are boxers, the guys Paul is beating are celebritys or wrestlers etc that he challenges after 3 years of training in his martial art to train for a month or 2 and fight him.
If Paul goes and beats a few journeymen then we can make this comparison.
I mean the majority of everyday people never knew who Jake Paul was until he was on that Tyson undercard, i had never heard of the Paul brothers before, thats the first i had seen of them, but i'm not american and i dont sit browsing the internet all day.
Absolutely, you guys should have seen we tearing Jake Paul's credentials to shreds before the Askren bout, to me he wasn't even qualified to be a tomato can in the boxing world.
In comparison, Tommy's record is top notch.
But to be honest, I had never even heard of Tommy Fury before this thread, so I was all like "oh, neat, Tyson Fury has a brother?" and his record made me chuckle because in MMA it's pretty rare even for tomato cans not to have wins here and there.
I have zero problems with boxers getting ring experience against randoms when they're starting, especially if they fight several times a year.
I compared him to MVP, because to me, it only gets infuriating when guy like Michael
"Venom" Page wastes entire years of their prime fighting maximum 2 cans a year, and who, already 6 years into his pro-career, is wasting a full training camp with top sparring partners and coaches, just to go beat on an undersized 3-14-1
Jonathan Castano, or a year later, 2-10
Michael Ciach.
Oh well, I'm just butthurt about Page because when he started in 2012, his
"London Shootfighter" training partners Marius
"Whitemare" Zaromskis & Zelg
"Benkei" Galesic (2 of my all-time favorite strikers in MMA) hyped him up as a super talent that was going to take the world of MMA by storm.
And year after year, fans of MVP kept saying "he's still young, let him fight a couple cans this year too, he has all the time in the world", and year after year it was the same speech, until the all jumped out of the wagon.
Fast forward 2021, he's only fought one elite guy, Douglas Lima, and he got starched.
(I should be fair, the Semtex fight was also a risky one, but the impossible happened: a bout between Daley & Page turned out to be boring as shit)
Rant over, we can resume our discussions over BJ Penn vs Jake Paul...
... Penn would get ragdoll'd, I'd rather have the MMA guys bait Jake Paul into taking a MMA fight with Ben Askren, just so Funky can torture him for 5 rounds.
I was going to say Bellator would be proud to host it, but at this point so would the UFC.
Dana lost 1 million betting on Ben Askren in boxing, he can get it back if Snoop Dogg is dumb enough to back Jake Paul in a MMA fight.
(If someone told me I'd be writing this sentence one day...)
