I honestly believe Jake Paul would destroy Khabib in a boxing match.
In fact I think he could beat some UFC fighters in a straight up MMA fight. He’s an Ohio state placer (2nd most competitive state behind Pennsylvania) and showed he clearly has above average boxing skills by MMA standards.
A lot of people will be angered and emasculated to hear this but Jake Paul smokes just about anyone on this forum excluding a few top UFC fighters.
Maybe so. This is boxing not MMA. Just like how Mike Tyson in his prime would have gotten destroyed by Khabib now in MMA.
Different sports. Different skill sets.
What makes Logan vs Floyd intriguing is that Floyd is a boxer in a boxing match. I’ll take Floyd in that. But I would take the Paul’s over many MMA guys in straight boxing.
Why would anyone be embarrassed to lose to Jake Paul? The guy has been seriously boxing for at least 5 years and already had a good athletic background. So what if he got famous off youtube? He is now an amateur boxer with some skills.
The obvious answer regarding the embarrassment is becuase he is a douche.
But, your main point is correct. There are plenty of UFC guys that only trained for a couple years before they became fighters…Derrick Lewis, B Rogers, that DJ guy from TUFF that fought Kimbo, Kimbo, etc
