Paul vs Chavez Jr Predictions: Paul’s Latest Name-Hunting Mission
Jake Paul’s career has been built on spectacle — and strategy. His ability to handpick faded icons and beat them convincingly has kept the hype machine rolling, and Sunday’s bout fits that blueprint perfectly.
Fresh off his November victory over a 58-year-old Mike Tyson, Paul now targets Julio Cesar Chavez Jr — a man with an elite surname, a championship past, and more than a few questions hanging over his legacy.
Chavez Jr, the 39-year-old son of a Mexican legend, once held a middleweight world title, but has spent years fighting accusations of wasted potential. His commitment to the sport has often been suspect, and so too has his conditioning. Long plagued by weight issues, Chavez Jr has managed just one fight in five years — a laboured points win over ex-MMA fighter Uriah Hall.
That came a year after his loss to Anderson Silva — the same Silva Jake Paul comfortably outpointed in 2022.
On name value alone, Chavez Jr might once have dominated this matchup. But those days are distant. At this stage of his career, against a fitter, hungrier opponent with momentum on his side, it’s hard to see him keeping pace.
Paul may not have the same level of pedigree, but he’s shown discipline, durability and enough power to keep fading names at bay. Over ten rounds, a points victory looks the most likely outcome.
