If you are Canelo Alvarez, if you are somebody who's the next name that's on Jake Paul's lips or just any boxer out there, is that the performance that you go?
I need to fight this guy.
Now, personally, I don't think that Canelo would want the fight after that.
Why?
What makes you say that?
Because it was just like a, a fairly pedestrian affair that was somewhat boring and that I'm not on Twitter right now.
I'm not on, I'm not on socials.
I don't know how our chatter is reacting to it.
But what the glimpses that I did see was people just being like, oh, that I was asked, that was bullshit.
Yeah.
To me, it comes down to a few things.
I think of Canelo as a championship level fighter, one of the pound for pound greats, one of the best ever.
And somebody who is looking for true challenges.
I don't think he views Jake Paul as a challenge nor do I believe he should right?
There is a size difference, but I don't believe he views Jake Paul as a credible challenge on the heels of that fight.
If I am Canelo and I then jump into the ring with Jake Paul instead of say David Benavidez after a performance where Jake Paul clearly did not press on the gas to finish.
Mike Tyson.
It has, it has AAA stench to it that I don't know if Canelo necessarily wants to get into.
I suppose that's true that there are fights waiting for Canelo Alvarez.
It's not like he's sort of just like chilling in this, in this new mode where it's just like, uh there's no one really for me to fight.
I'll just go get this massive payday and you know, get a huge check.
Get a w give this guy a loss and move on with my career.
Jake said that Canelo needs him.
I would argue, I, I don't think most people believe that, but I would argue very strongly the opposite way.
Jake Paul needs legitimacy right now on the heels of this one which I think people will view, I'm sure there will be people who say like fixed.
I don't think anything was fixed here, dude, I don't think anything was fixed.
I think it was a 58 year old man fighting a 27 year old man.
Like the outcome was expected.
I that everyone texting me and everything being like, who do you think is gonna win?
Jake Paul?
Really?
You think so?
I know.
So we, we placed a massive wager on Jake Paul.
I could not believe it was even minus 200.
This is a 58 year old man.
We're talking about the old, this is professional boxing, a person who trains religiously in Jake Paul, the oldest man that ever went on.
The PGA tour is 52 years old and that's a sport designed for old people and he's 52 years old that, like, you just can't hang around in professional sports.
It, every professional sport is a young man's game And like, Father time, undefeated as the famous, father time is undefeated and it is definitely undefeated for 58 year olds trying to compete with guys in their twenties.
