P4P king Canelo Alvarez isn’t ruling out a potential fight against Jake Paul, which can be bizarre and entertaining. Despite the sheer contrast in their resumes, the social media star turned fighter, Paul, has constantly aimed shots at Alvarez. He has also envisioned himself facing the current three-belt unified super middleweight champion, possibly after three more years in action.
As of now, the 31-year-old has serious challenges ahead and Jake Paul hasn’t made it to his combat radar yet. That said, Alvarez can welcome the challenge in the future. After largely ruling out a fight against Paul, he even displayed a minor change in emotions recently.

Thus, he is still nowhere near Canelo Alvarez’s status. 56-1-1 as a professional, Alvarez is already a legend and way above Paul.
However, three years from now, things could look different. If Paul remains active with constant wins on board, he can rightly earn a shot at Canelo Alvarez.
