Jake Paul Rips Into Canelo Following His Loss to Terence Crawford
Canelo Alvarez’s defeat to Terence Crawford has shaken the boxing world, and while many fighters and fans have praised Crawford’s historic achievement, not everyone has shown sympathy for the Mexican superstar. Social media personality and professional boxer Jake Paul wasted no time in taking a shot at Canelo after the fight.
Jake Paul’s Harsh Words
Paul took to Twitter shortly after the decision was announced, mocking Canelo for raising his hand in the ring as though he had won. He wrote:
“Canelo putting his hand up like he won
lol dumbass lying weirdo
Canelo been overrated.”
The post quickly went viral, sparking heated debates among boxing fans. While some agreed with Paul’s assessment of Canelo’s performance, others felt the comments were unnecessarily disrespectful to a fighter with such a storied career.
A Longstanding Feud
This isn’t the first time Jake Paul has gone after Canelo Alvarez. For years, Paul has accused Canelo of avoiding big risks and has teased the idea of fighting him. Canelo, on the other hand, has brushed off Paul as a non-serious boxer, repeatedly dismissing the possibility of a bout between them.
Paul’s latest comments only add more fuel to the fire. With Canelo’s legacy now under scrutiny following the Crawford loss, Paul seems eager to insert himself into the conversation once again.

Terence Crawford’s unanimous decision win not only secured him undisputed status in a third weight class but also shifted the spotlight away from Canelo as the face of boxing. For Jake Paul, who thrives on controversy and headline-grabbing statements, this was the perfect moment to pile on.
Could This Lead to a Showdown?
While the chances of Canelo ever entertaining a fight with Jake Paul remain slim, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has shown an ability to create hype around any potential matchup. If Paul continues to climb the ranks and rack up wins, the pressure for Canelo to respond—even just verbally—could grow.
