Jake Paul has been downplayed and dismissed for the vast majority of his career. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Youtuber-turner-boxer has made millions beating legends like Mike Tyson<\/a> and Anderson Silva<\/a> since turning pro in 2020. <\/p>\n

Still, there\u2019s a large group of people who refuse to recognize the 28-year-old as a real fighter. <\/p>\n

Ahead of his latest fight, Jake Paul<\/a> has hit back by naming 10 other athletes he believes are \u2018overrated\u2019.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Jake Paul named four fighters on his 10-man list of overrated sportspeople. <\/p>\n

Former dual-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor<\/a> is the only MMA star to make the list. <\/p>\n

Paul has been calling out McGregor<\/a> for years, but the Irishman has shown no interest in the matchup. <\/p>\n

Another man who turned down a fight with Paul, Canelo Alvarez,<\/a> also finds himself on the \u2018overrated\u2019 list. <\/p>\n

Two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua is the third fighter Paul slammed in his video.<\/p>\n

Logan Paul<\/a>\u2018s little brother blasted \u2018AJ\u2019 for having no chin<\/a> as he angled for that fight after Canelo left him hanging. <\/p>\n

Ryan Garcia<\/a> was also branded overrated by Paul following his recent loss to Rolly Romero. <\/p>\n\nJake Paul\u2019s Top 10 Overrated Athletes <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1. Babe Ruth <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2.

What\u2019s next for Jake Paul?<\/p>\n

Jake Paul will return to the ring against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.<\/a> on June 28. <\/p>\n

The fight, which will clash with UFC 317<\/a>, will see the 11-1 prospect take on a former world champion.<\/p>\n

Chavez Jr. defended the WBC super middleweight title three times before being dethroned by Sergio Martinez<\/a> in September 2012. <\/p>\n

Since then, the 39-year-old has suffered high-profile defeats against Canelo Alvarez<\/a> and Anderson Silva. <\/p>\n

Chavez Jr. will be hoping to roll back the years to score a big up against the most divisive boxer on the planet. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Paul hopes to add another faded legend to his star-studded boxing record. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul has been downplayed and dismissed for the vast majority of his career.
