I hear his long-term plan includes racing Usain Bolt when he’s 75 and Paul is 64.

    1. I guess a wikipedia volunteer decided to classify him as that, and maybe another agreed.

    2. No idea. I guess it would entail trying to prove that he setup, paid and that the fights were mostly scripted.

    He has only has 13 fights, hopefully the Joshua fight will finally show him up. ‘win’ or lose.

      There’s nothing scripted about the fights. He just only fights people he knows he can handily beat because of his size and youth. I don’t like Paul, but the whole “the fights are fixed” narrative is silly (and entirely devoid of evidence). He’s a hack who only fights people who are ancient, retired, or not even fighters to begin with like basketball player Nate Robinson. He doesn’t have to fix these fights; they’re just that overwhelmingly booked in his favor.

      Also, this entire topic gives him exactly what he wants: attention for his rage-baiting clout-chasing career.
