Thoughts on potential next jake paul opponents?

I'd be down for Paulo Costa/Marvin Vettori to face him although that's unlikely.
If Ryan Garcia still doesn't have an actual boxing fight coming up, he's definetely an option.
Tommy Fury will probably lose like it or not.

Agreed,say what you want about the guy but very recently Woodley was a highly regarded professional fighter...boxer or not.I actually expected him to do that to Paul.It would be interesting to see Paul square off against a top ten ranked boxer but I don't see him taking on anyone at that level.

Definetely not a current top 10 ranked, but im thinking he might end up facing off a past prime/retired boxer in a smaller weight class. Guys like Pacquaio, Kell Brook, Amir Khan, Andre Ward come to mind (although I doubt Paul beats any of them)

Yeah,I doubt that as well.

Ryan Garcia may be an interesting choice, considering he hasn't had a fight lately and they are in the same youtube circles. This is a fight i can see paul winning due to sheer size difference alone. Ditto with Tank

Serious boxing:
Whats the future for the 168 division? Both benavidez and canelo seem likely to move up so the throne will be open. Caleb plant is a good shoutout as well as Mall charlo. Still Benavidez might want to take a fight with canelo before both move up.

Well....why risk your record against someone in the top ten when you can be paid millions sparring with the likes of this guy?

Vowing to help defend his country if he has to, Wladimir Klitschko has enlisted in the Ukrainian army's reserve.

I have nothing but respect for him for serving his country. Most athletes wouldn't do that.
