      He comes up from time to time in Coffeezilla videos. We can all learn something from analyzing grifters and grifts from a bird’s eye view.

        That’s true, he’s a case study in poor ethics. Always good to know what’s going on out there.

    I try to pretend that he doesn’t exist in hopes that he’ll eventually just go away. He’ll be 30 soon and his power to manipulate children will hopefully fade and, if we’re lucky, that will be the last we ever hear from him.

    If the world was fair and success came from merit then the Paul brothers would have died of starvation a long time ago.

    I hope he gets torn apart by Mike Tyson, but I think the fight is total absurdity.

    This will be the first time he actually fights a pro boxer, but he of course was too much of a punk to fight a current pro.

    Despite Mike’s age, I don’t know if punk ass Jake Paul will have an answer for Iron Mike’s head movement and fury.

    I worry that Mike Tyson might gas out and that Jake bitch ass Paul could take the victory simply due to the 30 year age gap.

    If he wants to be a real boxer, he should be fighting a current pro in his weight class. He’s a fucking clown.

    Mike Tyson’s training footage. He’s still a monster…

    The world is full of dumbasses. I don’t know why that one should be any more special than the others.

    A stupid dipshit of an “influencer” or whatever. That is as much as I ever need to know about the guy.
    (Apparently I have been conflating him with his brother, which would normally be a mistake but… seems fine, actually.)

      His brother is pretty awful too, but not anywhere near as bad as Jake himself. Logan is at least a decent pro wrestler lol

    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.
