Daniel Jacobs says he would be interested in leaving a pension to fight with Jake Paul to give him a credible to fight. 38-year-old former two-time medium weight champion Jacobs (37-5, 30 KO) believes that Paul (12-1, 7 KO) is looking for “credibility” in his boxing career, but he needs someone like him as an opponent to give him.

Credibility: Jacobs offer

Jacobs retired last year in July after a unilateral 10-round decision defeat for Shane Mosley Jr. However, he says that his skills are still available, and what he learned during his long professional career is still in his bank knowledge.

The question is whether Paweł would like to risk fighting someone credible, such as Jacobs, because it would be risky. Jacobs has power and is only retired for a year. Although he is 38, he would still be very hazardous, especially in the early rounds.

“For me, to fully assess Jake, to say that he is not biased, he is not falsified, he is not hacked, although I do not really feel it, but I see it, or rather I understand the claims,” ​​said Daniel Jacobs rather to StampingSpeaking of Jake Paul. “He needs it [Jake] fight someone really respected. Someone who has a fight and is a bit more consistent because I think he is really looking for it. Credibility, right? “

Fans doubt Paul’s motifs

Some fans believe that Jake’s justification to choose opponents has nothing to do with credibility and more with a lot of money. Selection of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. And 59-year-old Mike Tyson as opponents is a backward way to obtain credibility. It was a great way to earn millions of millions. If it was about credibility, wouldn’t Jake be addressed to the IBF Cruiser Wweight Jai dyaa champion? He definitely considers him the best in this division.

“Of course, a guy like me, even coming out of a pension [Note: Jacobs has been retired for just one year. He hung up his gloves on July 6, 2024]. It’s a kind of credibility that you are [Jake Paul] I’m looking for. Former world champion, a guy who is respected among the majority. “

Compared to some fighters in sport, Jacobs is relatively youthful. He just turned 38 in February and is at the same age as Oleksandr Usyk. However, Jacobs lost the last two fights with John Ryder and Shane Mosley Jr, but it was more a situation in which he scratched after the beginning of forceful in both fights.

At the beginning of these fights, Jacobs looked like his vintage me, but then he disappeared inside and fought for the fumes. This is a training problem rather than age -related problem. A little more cardio in the camp would have a gigantic impact on these fights.

“I would never reject such a scenario because of what he represents. I do not try to be competitive, but for me it is a comical fight. I can get a form. There is still skills. I never forgot. I never forgot to come back to boxing, especially at a competitive level. But if the right dynamics appeared where I could have some fun, I can’t.
