Jake Paul won\u2019t deny that Canelo Alvarez is still an elite boxer at 36, but he sees a path to victory despite the high odds.<\/p>\n

Alvarez had his first bout since dropping a unanimous decision to fellow boxing legend Terence Crawford back in Sept. 2025. Alvarez battled Christian Mbilli this past Saturday with the WBC super middleweight title at stake. Mbilli lacked the aggressive style he\u2019s been known for, as Alvarez had him wary of counters throughout their 12-round affair. Ultimately, the Mexican superstar scored the unanimous decision victory to win back the WBC gold.<\/p>\n

Paul, who has long called for a showdown with Alvarez, reacted to the result on his X account<\/a>. \u201cThe Problem Child\u201d didn\u2019t exactly throw shade at Alvarez given that his performance was on point, but he did mention a potential hole that he believes he can exploit if the two ever share the ring.<\/p>\n

Out of the ring for 13 months but still the same old Canelo. Respect.
Did take a lot of punches though. We will dance my friend, we will dance.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of the ring for 13 months but still the same old Canelo. Respect. Did take a lot of punches though. We will dance my friend, we will dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul and Alvarez were once in talks to share the ring, but negotiations fell through. Back in May 2025, Paul told Ariel Helwani that he\u2019s confident he would\u2019ve pulled off a major upset<\/a> over the surefire future boxing Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have beaten Canelo, for sure. Even just watching him against Scull. He\u2019s just washed up, inactive, doesn\u2019t throw a lot of punches, and not very strong,\u201d Paul said. \u201cWhat\u2019s crazy is one of my main training partners for the last two years is the one who \u2018lost\u2019 to William Scull. He was the one who should\u2019ve been fighting Canelo. His name is Vladimir Shishkin. He beat Scull way worse than Canelo did, and this is the guy I\u2019ve been sparring every day for two-and-a-half years, going toe-to-toe with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul is set to have his first boxing match since suffering a broken jaw at the hands Anthony Joshua back in late 2025. While Paul\u2019s next opponent hasn\u2019t been revealed at this time, he is scheduled to return to the ring on Christmas Eve<\/a> in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Any chance Canelo Alvarez fights Jake Paul at some point? Chime in below.<\/p>\n
