Jake Paul calls Canelo Alvarez out once again

As the sensation of YouTube boxing continues to attract fans, those involved continue to convince themselves into thinking they are professional boxers.

Jake Paul, whilst training irably and boasting significant knockout power, is the biggest proponent of such delusion, suggesting he would defeat Canelo Alvarez if he was to take the Mexican on.

This is, ladies and gentlemen, the same Canelo Alvarez that has boxed since his was a child and is considered perhaps one of the five greatest to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

Yes, Jake Paul, the one who couldn't even put up a proper fight against Tyson Fury's younger brother, Tommy, believes he would somehow beat that same Canelo.

Of course, acknowledging these words is succumbing to exactly what Paul wants. He knows he can't beat the Mexican, and it's a pretty safe bet that he knows the Mexican won't ever dirty himself by getting into the ring with a rank amateur.

As such, people are talking about his words, the matchup and there is little to no recourse because the Mexican won't fight him. It's the perfect situation for a natural born salesman.

Jake Paul 'believes' fight with Canelo will happen

With that being said, Paul plays the media better than almost anyone within the boxing fraternity right now. He knows that his sell-by-date can only be delayed by keeping his name relevant in the news.

He does that by attaching it to actual successful boxers, and he can't allow this mask to slip. This is why he speaks so earnestly about his belief that a fight with Canelo will happen.

"Logan fought Floyd and I will fight Canelo and show the world why I'm the greatest sports story ever," Jake Paul tweeted.

Mayweather, known for his desire to make as much money as humanly possible, can't be compared with the Mexican in this regard.

Whilst perhaps even more talented than Canelo, defeating him in 2013, he would always agree to these bonanza paydays, whereas Alvarez has often spoken out against their lack of legitimacy.
