Jake Paul explains why he can beat Conor McGregor in a boxing match Instagram: Jake Paul \/ Conor McGregorJake Paul is confident he can beat Conor McGregor in a boxing match, and he explained why. He thinks it comes down to several factors, including a size advantage, and claims it will be a good fight. Jake Paul has been all the rage after knocking out Nate Robinson in an exhibition boxing match. He\u2019s been searching for his next opponent ever since and has called out some heavy hitters, including Dillon Danis and Conor McGregor. Since then, he\u2019s doubled down on the former UFC double champion and even went as far as taunting him to accept a $50 million fight offer. Joe Rogan acknowledged Jake Paul is a \u201clegitimate tough guy\u201d but thinks he doesn\u2019t have a chance against either of them in a mixed-martial-arts bout. But what about boxing? Jake Paul has made it clear that he only intends to fight Conor McGregor in a boxing match. However, in a recent interview with The Nelk Boys, he explained why he genuinely thinks he can beat him. Jake Paul thinks he can out-box Conor McGregor \u201cAre you just trolling, or do you actually think you can beat Conor McGregor in a boxing match?\u201d asked Kyle Forgeard from The Nelk Boys. It\u2019s something that everyone wants to know the answer to, and Jake Paul didn\u2019t hesitate to respond. \u201cOne hundred percent,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause he is not a boxer. So, when MMA fighters go to the gym every day, they have to work on elbows, grappling, leg kicks, knees. The list goes on. When I go to the gym every day, I\u2019m boxing.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s been fighting since he was 22,\u201d he added, which is a little off. Conor McGregor made his mixed martial arts debut in 2007 when he was 18 years old. \u201cHe has to focus on jiu-jitsu and all this other shit [as well], so\u2026\u201d Jake Paul thinks size-difference will play a part too Fortunately, he isn\u2019t delusional enough to think he can beat Conor McGregor in a mixed-martial-arts match. \u201cMMA, he\u2019s the GOAT. MMA, he would kill me in a minute,\u201d he said. However, he believes boxing is a different story. \u201cPut me in a boxing ring with him, and it\u2019s going to be a good fight\u2026 I think I\u2019ll come out on top,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s 5\u201d9, and I\u2019m 6\u201d1. He\u2019s 170 pounds, and I\u2019m 210 pounds. There\u2019s a size advantage that people aren\u2019t factoring in there.\u201d \u201cLook, at the end of the day, it\u2019s entertainment, right?\u201d he added. \u201cBoxing is a business disguised as a sport. That\u2019s what a lot of people don\u2019t understand. They focus too much on the sport aspect of it. It\u2019s a business. That fight would sell 3 million pay-per-views.\u201d The relevant part of the video happens between 1:15 and 3:00. Admittedly, he\u2019s not wrong. Millions of people would love to see that fight happen. Some would love to see Jake Paul get mauled by Conor McGregor, especially after the taunting and trolling. Others want to know if he\u2019ll stand a chance, let alone win. It\u2019s bound to be a spectacle either way. Plus, in the end, boxing is a business, like he said. If it sells pay-per-views and makes them money, there\u2019s no reason why they shouldn\u2019t make it happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
