Jake Paul Hit List: How likely are his potential fights with Conor McGregor, Canelo Alvarez, and more?

#2. Gervonta Davis vs. Jake Paul

Gervonta Davis is simply too small for a fight with Jake Paul to make sense

Another highly unlikely foe for Jake Paul – at least in the immediate future – is Gervonta Davis. In fact, it’s pretty outrageous that Paul even has ‘Tank’ on his ‘hit list’, to the point where it’s worth questioning the seriousness of the entire thing.

Davis is undoubtedly a truly fantastic boxer. He’s held multiple world titles in three different weight classes and holds an impressive record of 25-0 with 24 knockouts to his name.

However, ‘Tank’ is also the reigning WBA super lightweight champion, and has only fought as heavy as 140 pounds before. Given that he stands at just 5’5” – making him eight inches shorter than Jake Paul – it’s unlikely that he’d be able to pack on a lot of size.

And with Paul fighting as a cruiserweight – with a limit of 200 pounds – the idea of him clashing with a fighter potentially 40 pounds lighter than him is ludicrous.

Davis has responded to appearing on Paul’s ‘hit list’, but even then he didn’t sound too enthusiastic about the idea of facing him, meaning this clash is hugely unlikely.

Jake Paul better leave me tf alone..

#1. Logan Paul vs. Jake Paul

Logan Paul has stated that a fight between him and his brother Jake is inevitable

Perhaps the most surprising name on Jake Paul’s ‘hit list’ was that of his older brother Logan. After all, the two brothers are seemingly close, and Logan famously congratulated Jake following his win over AnEsonGib in 2020.

However, like all brothers, the two have also been at one another’s throats at times, with Jake claiming he’d slept with Logan’s ex-girlfriend and also labeling him a “fake fighter”, while Logan slammed Jake for the incident that saw him arrested following a looting incident in 2020.

And it’s not like combat sports don’t have a history when it comes to brother vs. brother fights. They are rare, but many MMA promoters have attempted to match Frank and Ken Shamrock against one another, for instance, while the premise of the 2011 movie Warrior was built around a similar bout.

Add in the fact that Logan has outright stated that he feels like a bout with Jake is “inevitable,” and the fact that the brothers’ legions of fans would mean the fight would draw mega-money, and it seems likely that we’ll see it at some point.

Of course, there’s the chance that Paul vs. Paul could turn into a glorified sparring match, but would that really matter? To their millions of fans, of course not. So regardless of whether he wins or loses against Woodley, this could be the next focus for Jake Paul.
