How Jake Paul can fight someone a few years away from drawing social security and think it solidifies his place as a serious boxer is beyond me. The way he has talked and continues to talk about this as though a win would be some unheard of accomplishment that will make him the face of boxing is just shameful.
I know it's all about the controversy...clearly someone who designates themselves "the problem child" and is actively building a career on being unlikeable thinks that any attention is good attention, but part of me wishes no one would give this guy a fight after this. He'd cry about nobody taking him seriously and everyone being scared of him for a while before being forgotten about by anyone that doesn't subscribe to whatever nonsense he posts on YouTube.
I'd like to think I could hit a couple balls off 88 year old Sandy Koufax, especially if I had millions of dollars and endless time to dedicate towards becoming a better hitter, but I don't think it would automatically make me some phenom-prodigy baseball player.
