Six Thoughts on the Weekend in Boxing and the Latest Pound-for-Pound Rankings

What's next for Jake Paul after earning his sixth win in an 8-round unanimous decision against Anderson Silva?

A few thoughts after a busy boxing weekend:

  • Jake Paul picked up the most legitimate win of his boxing career, decisioning ex-MMA star Anderson Silva, a fight where Paul knocked Silva down in the eighth round. Paul will probably never beat a legitimately ranked boxer, but he doesn’t have to. Paul will enter 2023 with plenty of lucrative options, including Nate Diaz, Tommy Fury and fellow YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI. If Paul fights all three, he will make more money than any boxers will next year.
