Jake Paul has been downplayed and dismissed for the vast majority of his career.
The Youtuber-turner-boxer has made millions beating legends like Mike Tyson and Anderson Silva since turning pro in 2020.
Still, there’s a large group of people who refuse to recognize the 28-year-old as a real fighter.
Ahead of his latest fight, Jake Paul has hit back by naming 10 other athletes he believes are ‘overrated’.
Jake Paul’s top 10 overrated athletes
On Wednesday, Jake Paul named four fighters on his 10-man list of overrated sportspeople.
Former dual-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor is the only MMA star to make the list.
Paul has been calling out McGregor for years, but the Irishman has shown no interest in the matchup.
Another man who turned down a fight with Paul, Canelo Alvarez, also finds himself on the ‘overrated’ list.
Two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua is the third fighter Paul slammed in his video.
Logan Paul‘s little brother blasted ‘AJ’ for having no chin as he angled for that fight after Canelo left him hanging.
Ryan Garcia was also branded overrated by Paul following his recent loss to Rolly Romero.

What’s next for Jake Paul?
Jake Paul will return to the ring against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28.
The fight, which will clash with UFC 317, will see the 11-1 prospect take on a former world champion.
Chavez Jr. defended the WBC super middleweight title three times before being dethroned by Sergio Martinez in September 2012.
Since then, the 39-year-old has suffered high-profile defeats against Canelo Alvarez and Anderson Silva.
Chavez Jr. will be hoping to roll back the years to score a big up against the most divisive boxer on the planet.
Meanwhile, Paul hopes to add another faded legend to his star-studded boxing record.
