Jake Paul Claims Tank Davis Is 'Taking A Bigger Risk' To Fight Him Than Mayweather Did vs McGregor

Paul claims the critics are only going to add to the viewership of his fight against Davis. He told Boxing Scene, "They’re all going to watch it. And you know what I say to people is, if you don’t like something, don’t talk about it, because you’re just making it bigger. But at the end of the day, people are always going to have something to say about every single one of my fights."

"His is a bigger risk for Gervonta than it was for, you know, Floyd [Mayweather] and Conor [McGregor] in that matchup [in 2017]," He added.

"Conor wasn’t a boxer. Conor didn’t have a weight advantage. So Gervonta is taking a bigger risk than Floyd, in my opinion, and it’s credit to him because of that weight difference. And that’s what makes this a good, even fight, is his skill and experience being top 10 pound-for-pound, and then my weight and height advantage."

Paul has long been looking to fight Davis and 'Tank' even planned on calling him out had he won the fight against Roach back in March. Paul claimed that Davis is one of the biggest superstars in boxing and is actually a great fighter, sparking his interest to fight the Baltimore native.

The purists remain skeptical of Paul's choice of opponents and claim that he cherry picks fights. Paul is only enjoying the naysayers as he continues to do what he wants. Paul said, "I love it, especially these types of fights. It just brings me alive. And just the entertainment value of it all, and the trolling and the training and the locking in, and just getting to entertain America is something that I think I was born to do."
