Deontay Wilder's power and Floyd Mayweather's defence: Jake Paul builds his ultimate boxerGetty Images

Jake Paul is getting ready to face Andre August on Friday on DAZN, and there's few better ways to prepare for a fight than to study the best boxers of all-time.

Ahead of his upcoming bout, Paul was asked to build his ultimate fighter by boxing journalist Dan Canobbio, and "The Problem Child" chose attributes from some of the greatest to have ever done it — even naming one particular legend twice.

"Power? Deontay Wilder," Paul said. "Speed, Oscar De La Hoya. Ring I.Q., Floyd [Mayweather]. Defence? Probably Floyd.

"That's a crazy fighter."

Paul's quest is to become a world champion some day, and if he is able to emulate any of the fighters he named then he would be well served in his mission.
