Buzz About the B bout
The hype for Paul's fight seems to be dwindling compared to some of his previous matches. While his battle with Mike Tyson was an unprecedented spectacle, this fight against Chavez Jr. doesn't seem to create the same level of excitement.
This discrepancy may stem from the public's lack of faith or knowledge in Chavez Jr., despite his achievements as a second-generation fighter. Yet, odds favor Paul, with him being a massive -575 favorite, and Chavez Jr. being a +400 underdog. Considering the experience gap and Chavez being only 39 years old, these numbers are quite astonishing.
Step Up to the Challenge
If Paul emerges victorious from this fight, there's a possibility of him being granted a title shot at cruiserweight. However, that could pose a significant problem for Paul, as fighters like Jai Opetaia and Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez own almost every recognized world title in the cruiserweight division. These are champions whose competition level would be a massive step up for Paul, potentially posing dangerous challenges.
Jumping into the Deep End: Potential Future Opponents
A more realistic potential opponent for Paul post-Chavez Jr. fight is Badou Jack, the WBC champion. Mauricio Sulaiman, the WBC president, believes Paul should rank if he beats Chavez Jr., making a title fight later this year more feasible.
Jack is an experienced pro, a warrior hardened by battles. Yet, he hasn't lost since 2019, indicating he's still a force to be reckoned with. Despite not being a household name, a fight against Jack would bring respectability and represent a natural progression in Paul's boxing career.
The Great Unknown
First things first, Paul has to deal with Chavez Jr. Most people assume the former champion won't take the fight or his training seriously enough to pose a real challenge. However, we might be in for a surprise, and the two fighters could put on a legendary show. Here's to hoping Paul gets his first serious test since his split decision loss to Tommy Fury in 2023!
