Jake Paul and Canelo Alvarez's fight talks ramp up

Yesterday at 01:43 PM

After adding Mike Tyson to the impressive list of names on his resume, Jake Paul is seemingly ready for a much bigger challenge.

Love him or hate him, 'The Problem Child' knows how to promote himself to the world and put on a show. While his November 15 clash with the legendary Tyson left much to be desired, he still managed to headline one of the biggest combat sports events of the year.

Following a lackluster display, Jake Paul has continued his verbal attack on Canelo Alvarez. 

Earlier in the week, Paul reignited his one-sided feud with Alvarez, hoping to set plans into motion for a potential fight.

Despite the Mexican's disinterest in the matchup, Jake Paul took his moment post-Mike Tyson win to declare his interest in the boxing champion once again.

"Everyone's biggest critique is fight a pro, fight someone your age," Paul said. "So when I say Canelo is the person, then everyone hates on that..."

"What do you want? Do you want me to fight someone, like people want to see me lose. So wouldn't the best opportunity to see me lose be going up against Canelo?"

"People will never be satisfied with my career until I get f***ing flatlined, then they're going to be happy."

"What better way to make that happen [than] to go up against the biggest challenge in this sport?"

"One of the best to ever do it, a legend, pound-for-pound great, if not the best in the sport."

"What excuse does the audience have [and] does Canelo have when that happens?"

In an honest assessment of his performance against Mike Tyson, Jake Paul believes he must improve to have a chance against Canelo Alvarez.

"[Does tonight's Jake beat Canelo?] Not tonight's Jake. But also, I sprained my f***ing ankle in half."

"And I'm not a heavyweight is what I learned tonight. I'm not. I'm a 200-pounder."
