Jake Paul's Brutal Callout: Conor McGregor and More Make His

Jake Paul has never been one to shy away from controversy and he’s not slowing down anytime soon.

The 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, who has amassed a massive following and millions of dollars since stepping into the ring professionally in 2020, has often been dismissed by the traditional boxing and MMA community. Despite beating legends like Anderson Silva and preparing for a fight with Mike Tyson (now postponed), Paul remains a polarizing figure. Many still refuse to take him seriously as a legitimate fighter.

But instead of staying quiet, Jake Paul is hitting back and he’s doing it with a vengeance.

Ahead of his next bout, Paul released a video listing his “Top 10 Most Overrated Athletes”, a no-holds-barred takedown of some of the biggest names in sports. The list includes football stars, boxing champions, and one particularly high-profile MMA icon: Conor McGregor.

The Most Overrated? Paul Thinks So.

Jake Paul’s list didn’t hold back. The names he dropped sent shockwaves through sports fans and media alike. Here’s the full list he unveiled:

Babe Ruth
Trevor Lawrence
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ryan Garcia
Conor McGregor
Dak Prescott
Anthony Edwards
Canelo Alvarez
Tua Tagovailoa
Ryan Garcia (again)

Yes, that’s right — Ryan Garcia was so “overrated” in Paul’s eyes that he made the list twice.

Let’s break down the fighters who caught the most heat:

Conor McGregor: The former UFC double champion, and one of the sport’s biggest-ever stars, has long been a target for Paul. He’s called out McGregor repeatedly, but the Irishman hasn’t shown any interest in accepting a bout. Paul sees McGregor’s legacy as inflated, especially given his 1-3 record since 2018.
Canelo Alvarez: The Mexican boxing icon, often hailed as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in recent years, also made the cut. Canelo reportedly turned down a fight with Paul — and that snub clearly didn’t sit well.
Anthony Joshua: The two-time heavyweight world champion has had his share of critics, but Paul took it to another level, claiming ‘AJ’ has “no chin” and accusing him of coasting on hype. Paul used the opportunity to angle for a potential future fight.
Ryan Garcia: After his recent defeat to Rolly Romero, Garcia was swiftly branded overrated by Paul — not once, but twice. Whether that was a joke or an intentional diss, Paul made it clear he’s not impressed by Garcia’s performance or star power.

More Than Just Trash Talk?

For Jake Paul, this isn’t just about creating headlines — it’s part of a larger strategy. He’s redefining what it means to be a modern-day fighter, blending spectacle, social media, and legitimate athleticism.

Since going pro in 2020, Paul has compiled a record of 11-1. Critics say he’s picked favorable matchups, but he’s still managed to defeat former UFC champions and seasoned fighters, including Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. His only loss came against Tommy Fury, a professional boxer with a family legacy in the sport.

Yet despite his success in the ring, respect from the boxing elite has remained elusive.

That’s likely why this “overrated” list hits so hard — Paul is doing what he always does: taking aim at the establishment, stirring the pot, and forcing fans to pay attention, whether they like it or not.

Next Stop: Chavez Jr.

Jake Paul is gearing up for his next challenge on June 28, when he faces former WBC world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The fight coincides with UFC 317, a strategic move to steal the spotlight from the MMA giant — a familiar tactic in Paul’s ongoing feud with Dana White and the UFC brand.

Chavez Jr., now 39, was once one of the most promising fighters in the sport. He defended the WBC super middleweight title three times before losing to Sergio Martinez in 2012. Since then, his career has been marked by inconsistency, with high-profile losses to Canelo and Silva.

Still, Chavez Jr. presents a real challenge for Paul. If he can beat another ex-world champion, it further strengthens his case as a credible fighter — and adds fuel to his ever-growing fire.

Love Him or Hate Him, Jake Paul Isn’t Going Anywhere

Jake Paul has built an empire on disruption. Whether it’s calling out legends, mocking critics, or stepping into the ring against aging champions, his brand is built on making noise — and delivering just enough in the ring to keep the momentum going.

By calling some of the biggest names in sports “overrated,” Jake Paul isn’t just trolling he’s positioning himself as a fighter who isn’t afraid to speak his mind or challenge the status quo.

The question now is simple: Can he back it all up in the ring on June 28?

Either way, one thing is certain — the world will be watching.
