Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor is right now, probably the most talked about fight on the planet (sounds silly, but that’s the truth, given the followers the YouTuber has). Jake Paul’s professional boxing career, has just kicked off, after the YouTube sensation, beat fellow YouTuber Anesongib in his debut fight, and Ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, more recently. Being 2-0 up in his professional boxing career, has been giving the younger Paul, the much needed adrenalin surge and the audacity to call-out professional MMA fighters, notably – Conor McGregor, Ben Askren, Dillon Danis…the list goes on.

Speaking of this, undefeated British super-middleweight Billy Joe Saunders, revealed that Conor McGregor will destroy Jake Paul, irrespective of the sport(boxing or UFC). He also said that Jake Paul hasn’t yet realized the seriousness involved in Boxing – since he felt that the YouTuber was riding the high wave after beating two non-boxers.

“I still think Conor McGregor takes him bad, to be honest” – Billy Joe Saunders

Speaking to iFL TV, Billy Joe Saunders was quoted as saying, “You don’t really want them throwing punches at each other because I can see [McGregor] knock someone out before cold, that fella [Paul] never had a fight in his life. You can clearly see boxing is not a playground. I think Conor McGregor will spark him and hurt him bad in UFC or boxing. I still think Conor McGregor takes him bad, to be honest.” [via The Sun]

He further added, “If they’re looking at, what is it? 50 million? Conor McGregor should go and whoop his ass and take that off him because it’ll be very comfortable.“

Well, Conor McGregor has been fighter all his life. He fights for a living; whereas Jake Paul has just jumped into professional boxing, due to a God-knows-where adrenaline rush, and has been disrespecting such athletes.
