Look at iShowSpeed skills. Even though they are in octagon, and Dan Hooker is MMA fighter, they have used big gloves and boxing. If this is just a super light sparring, what iShowSpeed is going to show us in 6 months ? Even if all Jake fights were scripted, and all his opponents spared him, Jake will knockout that dude easily.
We all knew that ishowspeed is doing this crazy stuff for the content and entertainment. I think this will be same expectation for him against Jake even with long preparation because he is not cut out for physical sports.
Spectators of this match assuming will come true should expect an entertainment purposes only not a serious fight because Jake will surely demolish ishowspeed due to the difference on skills.
Skills on boxing can’t be honed without any talent on it. I doubt this match will be possible even with just for the view.
I know that this fight is not going to happen, this is justa hype from iShowSpeed. But we have 6 pages here already So if there is an interest, there is a little chance that still someday these two might meet in the ring. No doubt that Jake has better skill in boxing, that is why their fight is not going to happen also. I think Jake is not interested in pure entertainment and exhibition fights.
If Jake wont really be able to have that kind of interest or being interested then this couldnt really happen. It will really be better that this thread should be locked at least?
Re-opens it on the moment that we will really be getting some official announcement in this regard. When it comes to Ishowspeed 6month training then this isnt something
enough for such fight but well there's nothing to be expected about on this one.
As far as I see, Jake does not participate in everything that generate some money. Some boxers, even former champs called him for a fight, but he ignores them. Celebrities also challenge him for a fight, but he does not accept that. If it was really only about money, he would fight every week. If it was only about hype, he would fight every youtuber. What I think, that in some way Jake thinks about his potential boxing rating, record or skill. His opponent must be media famous+have some skill+have some value in martial arts. iShowSpeed is only famous.
Former athletes are his target, specially some legends that has the hype before. So I do agree, specially if he is going to fight anyone, it could really get a lot of hype. And he can only generate it that way if he chooses a previous athletes that is very well known. IShowSpeed could have a lot of fans, a bigger fan based but are they fans of boxing? I highly doubt it, so this might be one Jake Paul's lowest generated fight if he chooses to go with it.
As I have posted before, it could be on some basketball player, or maybe he will choose another former UFC fighters. And in his post fight interview, he was mentioning Canelo Alvarez, this could generated that hype but Canelo are going for a big paycheck for sure as he is still very much active in boxing and he might not give up his career and fight Jake Paul.
