With his victory last December against Mike Tyson, Jake Paul silenced some critics and earned recognition as a boxer who was progressing and could soon aspire to world title fights, in events that were not against veteran legends or MMA fighters
However, someone who knows boxing deeply, the former Mexican champion, Julio Cesar Chavez, does not give him any credit and launched himself on him, with his typical tone, with as little tact as his legendary left hook to the liver
Without further ado, Chavez Sr. told ESNEWS that Paul has no talent, in his own way:
That fucking (Jake) Paul is good for nothing, that asshole
Julio César Chávez
This was after he watched Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson and said that the fight was strange, as Paul did not receive punishment from one of the most recognized knockout fighters in history: “It was weird, because (Mike) Tyson didn’t throw punches,” he said
Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
However, ‘The Legend’ acknowledged that he would like to see the YouTuber face his son Julio Jr. so that he could put him in his place, in a bid to recover his career one last time. “Let him fight with him, tell him, so that my son can beat him up,” he said
However, Paul now has several high-level rivals interested in facing him
Julio also spoke about the possible fight between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Terence Crawford, in a historic event that would pit two undisputed champions in different divisions against each other for the first time, in September. In this regard, Chavez said that Canelo would be the heavy favorite because of his size advantage.
“Canelo (Alvarez) knocks him out in six rounds, seven rounds. (Terence) Crawford is a good fighter, but there are weights,” he said.
