Only a few days are left before the Jake Paul vs. Hasim Rahman Jr. bout comes to fruition on August 6th. There is something remarkable and equally disheartening about the said fight. The bout will take place on Showtime, a platform that has offered hospitality to the likes of Mayweather vs. Maidana, Pacquiao vs. Broner, and Joshua vs. Klitschko, among other blockbusters in recent boxing. That Paul vs. Rahman Jr. will also take place on Showtime has not sat right with a significant group of people.

Although Rahman Jr. vs. Paul lacked massive star power to be on Showtime, how Rahman Jr. approached the fight, in the beginning, sparked interest in some fans who believed Rahman Jr. could bring that one fight that would derail Jake Paul’s winning streak.

Contrary to his recent words where Rahman Jr. compared Paul to the former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, he has lately discredited Paul’s achievements in pro boxing. According to Rahman Jr., the opponents Jake Paul has fought are nobodies.

Contradiction and hypocrisy: Hasim Rahman Jr. gives his verdict on Jake Paul

Rahman Jr. lately acknowledged Paul to have a powerful right and expected the same to be in great shape on August 6th. Maybe to give in to the long-established convention of trash-talking in order to bring about a grudge that is hardly there and fish an audience, Rahman Jr. is now stating otherwise. He said, “You ain’t beat up nobody. Anybody can get to 5-0 fighting nobodies. Come on, man, you ain’t fought against someone who boxed before.”

“You fought everybody in their debut and then re-matched somebody. Stop it bruh, stop it,” he added.

Coming from someone who fought Demetrius Shaw in his second fight, and others who were way past their primes by being 44 and 43, Rahman Jr. confronts himself with his stinging words.

Likewise, the majority of the fighters Rahman Jr. faced were either past their primes or arrived with more losses than wins.
