The boxers have been weighed, they have chirped and bloviated. Now the only thing left is to see what Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua give us in the ring.

What has been a long and winding road to Miami culminates in Paul's greatest test to date. The polarizing pugilist who has pecked away at over-the-hill boxers and also-rans will step into the ring against a boxer who comes in taller, heavier and with respectable accolades on his resume.

Anthony Joshua is a two-time heavyweight champion who stands 6-6 and, for this fight, will weigh north of the 243.4 pounds he posted Thursday. He also owns a 28-4 record, including 25 wins by knockout.

By comparison, the sheet is not as favorable for Paul (12-1, 7 KOs), who stands 6-1 and tipped the scales Thursday at 216 pounds, lighter than he was vs. Mike Tyson (227.2). But, perhaps, size and age and wisdom don't matter in this bout. We will know very soon.

Jake Paul prediction: Boxer feels an upset

Jake Paul says he's prepared to pull off "the biggest upset in the sport of boxing" when he meets Anthony Joshua, the former two-time unified heavyweight boxing champion, on Friday night in Miami.

But how he's going to do it may be the most surprising part. The former YouTube influencer and actor says he plans to use superior boxing skills and strategy to defeat the 2012 Olympic gold medalist, whom the sportsbooks have installed as a massive favorite.

"On paper, the cards are stacked against me. But really in terms of boxing, I'm a better boxer than AJ, which is hilarious to say, but he's got two left feet," Paul told reporters on Tuesday, Dec. 16. — Steve Gardner

Hasim Rahman: Anthony Joshua wins quick

"I don't believe it should be a competitive fight. It should not," the former heavyweight champion told USA TODAY Sports. "I feel like if Anthony Joshua don't go in there and manhandle (Paul) and maul him and get him out of there in one or two rounds, then we got some questions to be asked."Watch it here: ???????????????????????? your favorite shows, the biggest blockbusters and more.

Nate Diaz: Jake Paul wins

"I got my money on Paul," the former UFC fighter and Paul opponent said. "He might get ... knocked out, but if he don't Paul is gonna win."

Deontay Wilder: If it's not scripted, Joshua wins

"In my opinion, it's scripted a little bit because of the weight difference and Joshua's a former champion and also he's current, he's active," the former heavyweight champion said. "This is going to be the first time we see Paul fighting an active fighter. We've seen the Mike Tyson (fight). That was all fun. That was cute. It was fun and games, but now you're dealing with a real professional."

Sportsbook Review: Anthony Joshua by decision

"Jake Paul fights have been held for the masses. His fight last year against Mike Tyson went the distance to the judges, despite both fighters seemingly having several chances to end it early on. This is another fight on Netflix, on a Friday night, and close to the holiday season. The ????????????????????????ing giant will want to get its money's worth in viewer retention ahead of airing two NFL games on Christmas Day."
