Canelo is widely considered one of the greatest boxers on the planet.

This victory adds to Woodley's split decision win, as well as his victories over YouTuber AnEsonGib and basketball player Nate Robinson, and MMA wrestler Ben Askren.

Smith believes Paul is still coning the public. Smith must now step in with a legitimate boxer.

He said, in a clip from ESPN's First Take: "Jake Paul cannot get away with lying anymore."

According to my knowledge, he has been boxing with professional trainers and boxers for over four years.

You knocked out the basketball player. But you also knocked out Ben Askren, a UFC fighter. He was a wrestler.

"Tyron woodley had the ability to knock you out; he's knocked out people before. He's also a wrestler.

"You are not fighting boxers. People need to stop laughing at and pretending that it's okay for them to beat up cats who don't box while they call themselves boxers.

After beating Woodley, Paul named Canelo, a Mexican superstar, as one of his opponents.

Alvarez, a four-weight world champion, has not lost since being beaten by Floyd Mayweather 2013.

Smith attacked Paul for mentioning Canelo as a possible match-up in future.

He added, "That's just a joke." It's insulting. Here's the deal: Canelo is the best in the entire world.

"He will knock Jake Paul out in one match. He will knock him out.

"But, Jake Paul isn't entitled to be in the Ring with someone as serious, as lethal, as accomplished, as Canelo.

Canelo, who beat Caleb Plant to win the super-middleweight title, has just won the final of four belts in the 160lb division.

He has been linked to a remarkable move up to cruiserweight in order to face Ilunga Makabu, WBC champion.
