While talking about the probable clash between Paul and Alvarez, Taylor said, “Jake’s a bigger guy, taller, longer than Canelo, but we can’t disregard Canelo’s skill set. Now Jake is still learning in this game. But give him a few years.”
On the other hand, Taylor gave his view about why he thinks Tyson and Paul won’t fight. He said, “I really don’t see Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fighting just because they’re very good friends. They have too much mutual respect between them to be involved in having a fight.”
He added, “Maybe I’m missing something, maybe they are going to fight, but I just don’t really see Mike going in there any time soon with Jake, I would be surprised.”
‘Iron’ Mike Tyson is an idol for Paul and both of them have shared some good times in the past. Therefore, they have mutual respect for them.
