#4. Jake Paul is a trained boxer
Like it or not, Jake Paul is a professional boxer with a 4-0 record. 'The Problem Child' has been training for years in boxing, and is under the guidance of professional combatants. While he might not be on the level of boxing stars like Canelo Alvarez, he does specialize in boxing.
Meanwhile, Conor McGregor is a super-talented MMA star. but is not a professional boxer. He did face Floyd Mayweather, but was TKO'd by the legend, who was older and smaller than the Irishman. McGregor was stopped by the referee many times during the 'Money Fight', and reminded of the boxing rules.
The unfamiliarity in boxing and lack of recent activity in it could cause problems for the 'Notorious' against Jake Paul too.
#3. Conor McGregor's recent string of losses suggest a decline
Conor McGregor has been enduring a rough patch in his professional career of late. Since defeating Eddie Alvarez in 2016 and becoming the first double champ in UFC history, he has gone 1-3 in MMA and 0-1 in boxing. The once invincible MMA sensation from Ireland has been bested several times. As a result, he has dropped to ninth position in the UFC lightweight rankings.
While McGregor has been talking about taking on boxers like Manny Pacquiao, it is unlikely he wants to do so because of his legacy. Many MMA experts, including former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, has noted that the 'Notorious' has lost some of his ability by being too comfortable and only focusing on money.
Should McGregor duel Jake Paul in a boxing match, it is unlikely he will emerge victorious. Instead, it would more likely result in another landmark win for Paul.
