Heavyweight Boxer Hammers Jake Paul for Entering the Boxing Ring: ‘There’s a Difference Between Lions and Men’

British heavyweight, Tom Little, has weighed in on the prospect of YouTubers fighting boxers. He even gave his views on a highly controversial figure right now, Jake Paul. The heavyweight did not hold back when talking about Paul’s trash talk.

Jake Paul set the tone for YouTubers entering the ring when he took on Nate Robinson. Paul knocked out the former NBA star and then made headlines for his call out. His brother Logan Paul followed suit and called out Floyd Mayweather.

Little is having none of this YouTube boxing. In conversation with iFL TV on YouTube, he said, “I think it’s insulting to our sport. Fair enough, make your money, make money, do well. But let me tell you something, there’s a difference between lions and men. A difference, right?”

These comments reflected the criticism the Paul brothers have received over the last few months. However, this backlash doesn’t seem to bother either of them.

Jake Paul will now take on MMA fighter Ben Askren in April, while Logan Paul got his wish with an exhibition fight against Floyd Mayweather.

Tom Little criticizes Jake Paul for his thrash talk

One of the major reasons the YouTuber makes the headlines is his trash talk. Not only does he call out the biggest stars, but he also takes it a step further by getting personal with it; the heavyweight is not a fan of this.

“And that’s the same difference between a true fighting man and Jake f**king Paul. Other than that, that’s it. The man’s just a f**king helmet, ain’t he. Like, you don’t talk about a man’s wife,” said Little.

This comment showed that Little realized the difference between Jake Paul and another fighter when he spoke about Conor McGregor’s wife. Which the super-star YouTuber did when he posted a video to troll the Irishman.

The world of combat sports is highly reliant on mutual respect. And though it often gets personal, rarely do fighters bring in family members. What do you make of Tom Little’s comments on Jake Paul?
