Boxing fans were buzzing after Jake Paul made bold claims about Canelo Alvarez
This past weekend, boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez defended his super-middleweight titles against Jermell Charlo. While many fans were impressed by Canelo's dominant performance, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul was less than impressed. In fact, Paul boldly claimed that he would be able to handle Canelo's power if they were to ever meet in the ring.
Twitter explodes with reactions to Jake Paul's claim
As soon as news of Paul's claim hit the internet, fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions. Many were quick to dismiss Paul's claim and called him delusional. Some fans even sarcastically applauded his statement. Others suggested that Paul should focus on other opponents and not mess with boxing's pound-for-pound king.
Jake Paul's ongoing campaign for a fight with Canelo
This isn't the first time that Jake Paul has expressed his desire to fight Canelo Alvarez. For the past two years, Paul has been publicly campaigning for a showdown with the boxing legend. While Canelo has acknowledged Paul's popularity and ability to bring in non-boxing fans, he has made it clear that he doesn't respect him as a fighter.
Despite this, Canelo hasn't ruled out the possibility of stepping into the ring with Paul. He believes that the crossover appeal that Paul brings could be good for the sport and respects the business aspect of what he and his brother are doing.
Jake Paul's last fight and future plans
Jake Paul's last fight was in August against UFC legend Nate Diaz, in which he emerged victorious. However, since then, Paul has not announced any upcoming fights. It remains to be seen if his challenge to Canelo will lead to an actual fight or if it's just trash talk.
