The version of Chavez Jr. that fought Silva is in no way better than Jake Paul. I don't really consider Anderson Silva to be a step up from Woodley and any of the non-boxers that Jake Paul has faced. The only reason for fighting Silva is because he has a name that can sell. This fight will not do anything to legitimize Jake Paul as a serious boxer.
I'd disagree, definitely a step up from Woodley, and the reason for is he'll be active. Woodley even in his MMA days was known for freezing. I think his nickname was the "frozen one" or something along those lines. That's exactly what we saw against Jake Paul, he barely threw a shot. Whereas Silva will at least be putting some volume out, and that might mean he leaves an opening, but at least there will be something coming back at Jake this time around.

Yeah, the annoying part I wanted to watch this fight, but I'm away for it. Bugger. I won't be able to watch highlights until I get back either which is give or take a week later. I don't think that'll be a problem though, since I won't have any news access, and the dust should've settled by the time I'm back online.
I won't be betting on the fight simply for that reason, but I fancy Jake here despite Anderson being the best opponent yet, in my humble opinion. Think he'll shock a few of the boxing purists of his skill, and he'll get a decent pay day too which is refreshing to see after all those years in the UFC.

This is not a rumor anymore they are going to fight come October 29 and its a done deal I hope OP will change the title
Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva official for Oct. 29 on Showtime PPV
This fight is a big leap for both fighters both are undefeated in boxing but the spider has a huge experience advantage, Jake Paul is a young hungry fighter who is getting better in every fight, this will be interesting to watch I hope Silva will be the one to handed Jake's his first loss he has extended his exhibition boxing career many hate him but you have to admire what he has done from Youtuber to becoming an exhibition fighter, beating well known MMA fighters.

Jake Paul is and always will be a pretty boy fake boxxer who only cares about his influencer image. Thats why he keeps on trying to fight old boxxers and boxxers who he sees as disadvantaged. However when it comes to Anderson Silva I believe that Jake Paul has bitten off more than he can chew and will definitely embarrass himself in the ring. Not that I am not looking forward to that fight and hopefully we can see a nice K.O. too.
I have never had respect for pretenders. Especially when it comes to noble sports like boxxing. And Jake Paul is the biggest pretender there is. He does not care about the sport he just cares about gaining followers.
Obviously he is in the same boat of character as his brother, Logan Paul, who filmed himself disrespecting suicide corpses in the Japanese suicide forest. That just goes to show where his family comes from.

Well this fight isn't a rumours anymore since there's an official news from ESPN that the fight will happen on October 29, Arizona, U.S. and it's counted as professional fight, not an exhibition fight. Checked the odds on the sportsbet Jake Paul is an underdog with 2.00x odds while Anderson Silva is favorited with with 1.73x odds, I think the reason why Silva become favorite is he have fought many fighters at 46 years old... but I'm pretty sure Paul will win.
I feel like the reason why the fights got cancelled was that there was not much hype going on around it and not a lot of people are interested. also, who's Andrew Tate? haven't heard of him.
He's an influencer and famous in America, he was a former of kickboxing too. In short, he's not a boxer and cherry picked by Jake Paul 
If this fight ever happens it's obvious Jake Paul (6-0) will win this match. It's not about their history background, the fighting skills or the age differences, it's all about the money. I don't know why a living legend Anderson Silva(Boxing Record: 3-1) himself would lower his standard to fight a youtuber with a fixed match.
You already said it: money. This is the main motivation why a lot of legendary MMA fighters agreed to fight Jake on boxing even though they know that they will get their asses beat due to the terms of the fight. After the ass-whooping and throwing their experience and their selves in shame, they will get a fat pay check, which usually happens since the viewership of such events are through the roof. Hopefully for Silva he hands Jake some proper spanking, but I doubt that will happen.
That's just it. These boxing matches sometimes makes them more than they earned in their entire careers in mma. It's terrible watching these fights as a true boxing fan.
Boxers do earn more than MMA fighters, but only top ranked professionals. I think I have already posted somewhere boxer and mma earnings comparison. The idea was that mma newbie fighters get 5+5k and they have several fights per year, while professional boxers usually have only 1 fight per year. Unknown boxers did not earn a lot btw, same "less than 10k" per fight, if not less. And dont forget that boxing has a longer history than mma sports. Check out mma and boxing earnings in 10-20 years. I think numbers will be completely different.
As to Silva and this fight, this is not just money, it is easy money if they make a boxing match, but not an exhibition. Silva is in age already, but his reflexes are much better than Jakes. I think he can dodge everything Jake throw, and it will be few hits enough to get unprepared to painful punches YouTuber down.

wait, I thought he was going to fight Tommy Fury? was the fight between the two cancelled?
AFAIK firstly it was scheduled Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury, but it's got cancelled. Then Hasim Rahman Jr is going to replace Tommy Fury to fight Jake Paul, but it do got cancelled again. Jake Paul is looking for another fighter, he have called Andrew Tate but it seems he's not interested. After that Anderson Silva is high likely want to fight against Jake Paul.Well too much drama to wait Jake Paul fight will happen lol.

though Anderson Silva has a boxing history, his record is not that good. also, his age could be a problem for him. anyway, despite Anderson Silva having a boxing history I kind of feel that it was still a cherry pick.
Anderson Silva have poor boxing skills, he's better with his kick rather than his punch.
P.S I'm not sure I could take another MMA legend getting knocked out by a boxer, though. There's some sort of silly rivalry with boxing, and MMA.
Even though it is hard to believe such rumours might ever come true, I think that Silva might perform well in this fight. He is old, but he is much better striker than Jake Paul ever met. I've seen some video of Silva doing boxing and watched him fighting Ortiz and Chavez, and I can say he performed impressive.
Since there's a rumor maybe someone on their camp spreads it to see how people react towards this possible match up. And its really quite intriguing knowing Silva is veteran fighter paired up with a youtuber which is famous these days. I believe there status is selling point for then to create more sales on this possible bout.

Why I think this fight never happen? Somewhere I saw Silva had nothing against fighting Jake. Big money are at stake. Silva is famous. But the problem will be with Jake. The fight will be announced and promoted, but after, due some weird issue, it would be cancelled. I believe instead of fighting and promoting what ever Jake wants to promote, he has chosen an option just to call out other fighters, train, promote something and cancel the fight. Why had a chance to be punched in face, when you can promote/sell and not get punched in face.

I think it's more of a name basis knowing that the name Anderson Silva is really a legend. His name is really going to attract watchers and of course, the gambling side, and it would really be an entertaining fight because that's going to be a great fight even if it's boxing vs MMA. I do hope that they manage to do this. It's just like McGregor and Mayweather. Money money money

It was just last year when he beat Julio Chavez Jr. A better boxer than Jake Paul. Anderson Silva is already 46 when he fought the 33 years old Chavez Jr., so I do think that the age issue will be even out by Anderson's boxing skill. If you have time you can check how Silva moves during his fight against Chavez. Silva got good footwork and knows how to throw punches at an angle where the opponent will have difficulty countering.
Silva is a dangerous striker skills that what brought him into his winning streak and to become known in UFC history and we know that he snapped his leg that causes of ending his winning streak. I think his injury affects his current performance which is not doing so well compared in his prime. This is why I think that there's a chance that Anderson Silva will accept the fight since it's boxing and he is good at it. Even though It's cherry picked by Jake in my own opinion.
Now, there's currently some rumours floating around about him fighting Anderson Silva, and say what you like about his previous opponents, Anderson Silva who don't get wrong is getting on a bit now, is still a very dangerous opponent, and I do believe he's won previously in a boxing match, so has experience against a decent level opponent I do believe.
As far as I can remember if the boxing fight between Jake Paul vs. Silva it really happens next October this will be the fourth time Jake Paul has bet with the former UFC, as happened during the fight with Askren, Tyron which ended by KO.I'm like you, i'm not a big fan of paul, but i recognize the power and punch that paul has when dealing with his opponent in the ring, if paul gets the target no doubt the fight can end there unanimously.
But Silva is also an extraordinary boxer, Silva is an expert in reading the opponent's moves he arranges changes quickly, attacks and finishes with extraordinary strength, I believe the boxing fight between Jake Paul vs. Silva will make a professional impression in the world of boxing in the future, this is a young star in his boxing career.
Honestly, I have no conclusion in the fight between Paul vs. Silva, of course I will watch and follow Paul to do it in the ring to Silva and vice versa.
But there is a funny comment posted by: @jhon McGlothlin regarding Paul vs. Silva.

Surely you jest. Anderson siva just defeated a former wolrd middleweight champion who brought 52 professional wins into the fight.
Jake paul has never fought a professional boxer.
Paul won's fight Silva, because he would get beaten all over the ring like an organ grinder's monkey....
Ha.ha.ha. Jake paul has never fought a professional boxer.

Anyway, I'll update this thread as the news comes out, but it seems the word going around it'll be Anderson. What do we think of that particular match up? Still cherry picked?

I don't think these are rumors. It seems to be a legitimate fight with contracts already signed. It might not be the most exciting fight watching a punk kid fight an old legend. It's as close as they could get to Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson though, so at least they're trying to maintain some entertainment. I wonder how long Logan will be wrestling for until he gets back in the boxing ring.
Anderson Silva also received his boxing license from the commission, so it's very likely he's fighting Jake Paul. I'm quite excited about it, people aren't giving Anderson enough credit. He's already boxed successfully. As for Logan Paul, I think the money is currently in the wrestling for him. However, I know KSI is back to boxing so I think that's pushing Logan to actually do something too. I'm not sure who Logan would fight though, potentially one of Jake Paul's opponents, and then maybe we'll see the difference between the two.
I’m a fan of Anderson Silva back on his prime on UFC before his leg injury. He has a superb boxing skill and agility to dodge close combat punch as if everything is slow motion but his last 3 matches before he retired shows his weakness and slow movement for his reflexes which I think the main reason why he is not the favorite on this match since the fight will be boxing while Jake Paul already dedicated his life on this sports even if it’s not on professional way. Silva is playing on different sports which means his experience is not that much helpful since his opponent specialty is already on boxing.
I think this match is fair unlike typical exhibition match that usually the unprofessional boxer is always on losing side. This time I can assume that Jake Paul has chance of winning.
sure its a fair match. so Jake better train well this time.
Silva moved to boxing i think because of his leg injury but he is beating top level dudes like Julio Chavez Jr. though Silva is old, he can box.
you gotta respect Jake for having the balls to fight Silva. this young man doesn't just have the high IQ marketing skills, he also knockout combat guys who had been trained longer than he did.
