IS JAKE PAUL ACTUALLY A MORE DANGEROUS HEAVYWEIGHT THAN MOSES ITAUMA❓
After what we've now seen from both men inside the ring, it's a question worth asking.
Jake stepped into the ring with Anthony Joshua, one of the most accomplished and dangerous heavyweights of his generation. He went six rounds with AJ, absorbed serious heavyweight power and was only officially knocked down once before the fight was stopped.
Moses Itauma entered his fight with Filip Hrgovic being talked about as the future of the heavyweight division. But when Hrgovic survived the early pressure and took Itauma into unfamiliar territory, Moses eventually broke down and was carried out of the ring on a stretcher.
Then there's Jake's heavyweight résumé. He already owns a professional victory over Mike Tyson, one of the most feared heavyweight champions in boxing history, before stepping into the ring with Joshua.
Pure boxing ability is only part of what makes someone dangerous at heavyweight. Power, durability, composure and the ability to handle adversity when another heavyweight starts landing clean all matter.
Jake lasted six rounds with Anthony Joshua.
Itauma couldn't make it to the final bell against Filip Hrgovic.
