No idea what this means. He is going to fight no name, lower level pros and get beat? That's his career path now? Lolol

Boxing tends to have guys fight 20 to 30 cans before they get real competition to pad out the record.

Jake can build his skill set there.

The only problems stopping him from his dream now are drug testing, facing someone his own size in a weight category, and possibly someone with more talent.

Didn't he already lose to the only non-geriatric professional boxer he faced? And wasn't that boxer mediocre and smaller than he was?

He has all the money in the world for top class training, he doesn’t have the skill or natural ability , it’s been years now of training that most guys that have to grind their way up don’t have access to.

He’s not great and he never will be, if he fights cans and journeymen for the next few years he will still get the shit knocked out of him as soon as he fights anyone near his weight that is decent.

Fury is crap and he beat him handily enough.

Personally I hope he starts fighting top 50 cruisers soon and builds some false confidence, looking forward to his inevitable beating.

Agreed that he will never be good but I think he can manipulate his way pretty far, even in the real boxing world.
