He has even mocked the Mexican star in several interviews and has received nothing but criticism from Canelo. Well, Alvarez is currently the undisputed super-middleweight champion, hinting at a possible move up to the cruiserweight limit. So, Paul doesn’t fall on his combat radar at the moment. However, Jake Paul’s trainer J’Leon Love has put a lifeline to the potential fight and has also revealed one factor where Paul outshines Canelo Alvarez.

In a chat with FightHype.com, Love said, “It takes time, we are going to take it one fight at the time. At the end of the day, we are just fighting Tommy Fury now. We ain’t gonna fight Canelo [Alvarez] next. You know I mean, we just gonna keep it moving.”

On being asked about that one factor where Paul outworks Alvarez, Leon added, “Marketing, the kid [Jake Paul] is a genius at marketing. I mean, he knows how to stir up the pot, get eyeballs viewing. At the end of the day, you can’t hate him. That’s what the m**** f*** good at.”
