Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Jake Paul's Potential WBC Ranking: He Should Be Ranked In Top 30; Nothing Wrong With That

[Rebelrbg]

On page 13 of the script, it states that Jake will get a ranking spot whether he wins or loses, as long as they act out a good back and forth for the first 5 rounds.

I think you need to have fought a 12 rounder to be ranked

Except for the fact he would get KO’d in 3rds by everyone in the top 30. Except he wouldn’t because the fights would undoubtedly be fixed

I don’t see anything wrong with it

it’s rank 30 of the WBC, not rank 30 of the world. The WBC don’t even conflate the two things

#30 on boxrec is a 6'5'' cuban russian with a 100% KO ratio and 10 fights.


Jake should fight him next. and get flattened lol

They’re looking to book Paul in the top 15 so he can get a shot at the WBC strap LOL

My mistake then. So Paul using his usual bully tactics on smaller guys once again. Kid seems scared to challenge anybody his size. Guess it's pretty easy to sell these these circus fights when when most of your fanbase are kids that know nothing but social media. No real men respect this nonsense. The fact that any sanctioning body approves of this and is willing to give him a ranking shows once again that boxing has no real integrity. Money talks and everything else walks as usual.

Fury has weighed in at 177 3/4 lbs once as a pro (Missed weight) and every other weight was 179-189.

He’s fighting Paul at 185.

Seems like a fair weight to me .

Boxing in general has been the beneficiary of Jake Paul's hard work, both in the media and in the gym. I believe win or lose, you are correct.

I will call the writers and make sure to tell them of your approval and appreciation.
