Paul has lashed out at several stars, including Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, Dana White, and many others. Meanwhile, he has always talked about his desire to face the current P4P king in boxing, Canelo Alvarez. That said, this desire hasn’t come out of respect but an ill-feeling, which has evoked ‘The Problem Child’ to rant on Team Canelo once again.
