Jake Paul Blames Floyd Mayweather: Jake Paul Accused Mayweather for Ruining Boxing
Paul specifically called out Mayweather, who retired with a perfect 50-0 record. “It’s annoying, man. In boxing, fighters are not willing to risk their undefeated record and put it all on the line,” Paul said. “Their legacy of being ‘undefeated’ is more important to them.”
The 26-year-old Jake Paul has fought 7 times with 6 wins and a single loss in his own boxing career so far, Paul believes the obsession with being undefeated is damaging the sport. I respect Ryan Garcia for what he’s doing by calling out real fighters and trying to actually prove himself.” Garcia, the 24-year-old lightweight star, Recently faced his loss against Gervonta Davis.
Paul meanwhile continues to call out some of boxing’s biggest names, though his limited experience and lack of fights against legitimate pro boxers make most dismiss his challenges as publicity stunts. His brother Logan Paul faced Mayweather in an exhibition, going the full eight rounds but failing to land many meaningful punches on the Hall of Famer.
While Paul raises a fair point about the obsession with undefeated records in boxing, his own limited accomplishments in the ring thus far undermine his position as a credible critic of fighters like Mayweather. Until Paul proves himself against a well-established pro, his critiques of boxing’s biggest stars will continue to ring hollow. However, if Paul’s callouts and trash talk do eventually land him a career-defining fight, he’ll have a chance to put his money where his mouth is. The question is whether any big-name boxers will actually take his bait. Follow InsideSport on GOOGLE NEWS / For Boxing News updates with InsideSport.IN
