''Tony isn't old enough and retired enough for Jake. The funny thing is that Tony even where he's at right now is tougher than 90% of Jake's resume.''

Another fan wrote:

''Wouldn’t be fair because he wouldn’t take money to lose, so he wouldn’t do the fight anyways.''

One fan mocked Paul, writing:

“That would not be a fair matchup like Bourland and August have been fair shameless''
