Fans didn't believe Jake Paul had a chance against Canelo Alvarez, even before entering the ring against Tyron Woodley.
With the YouTuber turned pro boxer having edged past Woodley with a split-decision win, the boxing community has gone in hard on the 4-0 fighter's previous comments about the P4P great.
Fans have mostly been tweeting images of Woodley wobbling the YouTuber in the fourth round, joking that the hyperbolic past comments from Paul were even funnier in hindsight.
Paul recently claimed that he would be ready to face Alvarez within the next three years, claiming he is fighting a higher calibre of opponent this early in his boxing career. He said: “Canelo Alvarez’s opponent in his 10th fight was 0-0, and whom after defeat, never fought again.
“In my 4th fight, I’m taking on a pound-for-pound decorated fighter who has won on the biggest stages and is considered one of the top welterweights ever."
Fans at the time lambasted Paul, noting that “Canelo was also 16….”, “Canelo fought people who trained for boxing. You don’t”, and "yeah, but you will never be on Canelo’s level, so what’s your point?”
