“My Dog Can Swim”: Controversial Boxer Brands Olympics Legend Michael Phelps as ‘The Most Overrated Athlete of All Time’

Michael Phelps can be considered undoubtedly the best swimmer to ever live. The American swimmer has earned 28 medals across five Olympics making him one of the greatest athletes in the games. Moreover, he also holds the record for most medals in individual Olympic sports.

Many consider Phelps to be the greatest athlete of all time, however, it seems like the YouTube sensation, Jake Paul, might not be a huge fan of the swimmer as he believes that Phelps is “overrated.”

Jake Paul brands Michael Phelps as overrated

Paul announced recently that he would be launching a new platform named Betr, that will revolutionize sports. ‘The Problem Child’ posted a short video on the newly created Betr Twitter page where he claimed that Phelps was the most overrated athlete of all time. However, Paul then immediately took back his answer.

“I feel like that’s so controversial like Michael Phelps like who cares. I take back my answer,” he said. Following this, Paul then posted two Instagram stories. One where he took a poll asking the fans who they thought was the most overrated athlete of all time. Notably, the poll included Phelps, Paul, Derek Jeter, and Paul Pierce.

Moreover, in the next story, Paul goes into his studio and claimed that he is sticking with his choice and gave an unusual reason for this. “Guys I am sticking by my answer that Michael Phelps is the most overrated athlete of all time because I just realized my dog can swim,” Paul concluded.

What is Paul’s latest venture: Betr?

Betr is Paul’s latest business project which according to him would disrupt how fans view sports. The project is divided into two parts, one which includes content around sports and streaming, along with shows related to sports. The other part of the project includes online betting on sports.

Paul started the company with sports betting insider and crypto trader, Joel Levy, who will be the CEO. The company has raised over $50 million and is ready to launch officially within a few weeks. Moreover, he has even claimed to refuse $40 million from other online betting companies to start this project. The Paul brothers have always had business acumen. Let’s see how this project works out for The Problem Child.
