Who would be a reasonable opponent for Jake Paul?

[FlyingDeathKick]

I think everybody is bored of watching him target older, smaller guys that aren't boxers. He's a cruiserweight right? Would Usyk be too crazy of a jump? Paul loves fighting smaller, older dudes so how about Beterbiev? I know he's called out Jake Paul before.

Now if those 2 are too much of a leap in experience then how about Ben Whittaker? He only has 8 pro fights and he's a 175lber. He's also making a name for himself with his flashy style full of lots of showboating so people would definitely tune in. Once Again Ben is a smaller fighter but he's about the same size as the typical Jake Paul opponent. I think Whittaker's Amateur experience and skill level are too much for Paul to even entertain the idea of fighting him tho.

Very interesting that you named Ben Whittaker. Never realized that but that's actually a very good pick. He's a very decent boxer from what I've seen and he's flashy and showy guy that will appeal to the masses I believe. I like to see them fight.

That should be someone Jake Paul should consider.

Bernard Hopkins would still school him today. Bernard Hopkins, let's do this

Would also enjoy Vitor Belfort

Joe Louis , he's only 190 years old these days.

Not Old Enough. Jack Johnson.. He's too big tho, how about Benny Leonard?

 

[The Bloody Nine]

DJ Mikey B won't shut up about him, so perhaps he'll come out of retirement and get knocked out.

Stop pretending like Jake is actually gonna fight legitimate competition. The day he does is the day this charade ends

He did. He fought Tommy Fury, lost and the charade continues.
Some people just want to watch him fight limited MMA fighters in boxing who have a size and or age disadvantage.

Royce Gracie better watch himself

 

[TheMadHatter]

He called out poatan, I saw a video of those two on FaceTime after the callout, Jake seemed less excited about it when Alex told him Dana would let him do the fight

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Put him vs Michael Jay White because fuck them both. One of them losing would be good for the world.

He is not fighting Whittaker. Not only because he would lose but because Whittaker would make him look like a fool doing his shenanigans and showboating.

Ben Whittaker? What are smoking dude? Ben is an Olympic silver medalist and undefeated pro prospect, who’s absolutely schooling experienced pro boxers. We don’t even know where this guys sealing is at. Maybe he’s the next champ for all he know. Why would Jake fight someone like that?

He should fight someone in top50-100 if he beats Tyson next, but definitely not Ben Whittaker.

 

[Mujeriego]

These threads should show you that, he doesn't fight real boxers because one, he's not going to win, but two, boxing fans don't care about him.
His entire market is the MMA fan base.

Wilder
let the homie have a win and do us a favor

 

[TheRash]

I wonder how Robbie Lawler would fair?

Saying all that now, imagine if Jake beat Whittaker? That would skyrocket his value as a boxer 100 fold. It's worth the risk I think for Jake Paul.

Sure, that win would definitely skyrocket him as a legit contender in boxing. TBH, I don’t think he could beat Ben. I’m pretty high on Ben, he’ll definitely be a contender maybe even the champ

 

[nonoob]

Any pro boxer in a non-exhibition bout that is his equal, so finding any pro his size and age with zero wins would be legit.

 

[prime_lobov]

What about Deontay Wilder? Once a top guy but now washed, so Paul would be more likely to accept the fight. Also a bigger guy than the undersized MMA fighters that Paul’s fought.
