Talking about boxing biggies, one name that tops Jake Paul’s list is the p4p king Canelo Alvarez. Recently, Paul was in a chat with Stephen Smith on ESPN. Here, he tackled Smith’s question pertaining to his fight with Canelo Alvarez.
“That’s what other people think. Other people try to place limits on what is possible for you.”
“When you are a unicorn doing something different, other people try to place limits on what’s possible for you and what you can accomplish because it’s their mindset and what they think they can accomplish as a human being. But for me, I can accomplish anything I set my mind to,” he said.
Time by time, ‘The Problem Children’ gave his candid notions about a potential fight with Canelo. Paul is slowly peaking up his boxing run and after his win over Tyron Woodley in the rematch, the Ohio native is even more confident in going against a pro-boxer.
