    I think he is an endlessly annoying and insufferable human being and that his biggest contribution to our culture has been giving impressionable kids reasons to act like idiots.

    I’m also shocked and more than a little impressed that he’s become such an accomplished athlete. Boxing is an incredibly difficult sport and he’s not only competing at a pro level, but he’s excelling too.

      He hasn’t fought a single pro boxer in his weight class.

      He’s fought outside his weight class and he’s boxed fighters who were not boxers.

      He has not had a single honest professional boxing match.

      His fight with Mike Tyson is the going to be the closest he’s come, but it’s still absolutely ridiculous given the 30 year age gap and the fact that Mike Tyson has been retired.

      Jake piece of shit Paul has definitely trained hard and has a proficiency in boxing, but he hasn’t come close to putting that to the test fighting active pros in his weight class.

      Until he does so, he’s just a joke.
