Last year on BS w/ Jake Paul, analyst Stephen A. Smith called Jake Paul “crazy” for wanting to fight the undisputed Super-Middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez. However, in his reply, Paul argued that he was “beyond ready” to face the boxer with a professional record of 2 losses and 60 wins. Meanwhile, Smith continued to argue that it was absurd to think Paul could face Alvarez having fought retired UFC fighters. In this context, while Jake did not give up on his dream to face Canelo, Jeff Mayweather, the uncle of Floyd Mayweather predicted a potential contest between Saul and ‘The Problem Child’.

In his latest interaction with The Mayweather Channel, Jeff Mayweather acknowledged Jake Paul’s abilities as a fighter. Additionally, he hoped Alvarez vs. Paul would take place once ‘The Problem Child’ begins to fight legitimate boxers. Well, here is what Jeff said.

Jake Paul needs to keep working hard to face Canelo Alvarez

Before the fight against Ryan Bourland, Jake Paul predicted a second-round stoppage. However, ‘The Problem Child’ stopped Bourland in the opening round of the fight. Following his 9th professional win, Paul declared he was “ready for bigger things“. Therefore, reiterating his wish to be a world champion in the sport, Paul asked Canelo Alvarez to “stop ducking” him. In doing so, he proposed a “Puerto Rico vs. Mexico” fight against Canelo Alvarez. On that note, Jeff Mayweather answered how Paul would manage to hang in there with someone as good as Canelo.
