American boxer Jake Paul named Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the 10 most overrated athletes of all time.
The former YouTuber turned professional boxer cuts a controversial figure. While he is already making waves in the boxing world with his upcoming bout against former two-time heavyweight Anthony Joshua, he has now triggered attention from other sports communities with his latest comment.
In a clip now making the rounds on social media, the emerging boxer famed for commercially successful fights against Mike Tyson and Tommy Fury made a list of 10 athletes across sports whom he finds overrated.
He started the list strongly, naming baseball icon Babe Ruth, widely regarded as the greatest pitcher of all time.
The second on the list was Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars’s quarterback. He opined that the 26-year-old was overrated and undeserving of his $55 million annual salary.
Ronaldo was his third casualty, prefaced with an admittance that adding the Portuguese to the list will cause an uproar. The fourth and fifth on his list were from combat sports: Ryan Garcia (boxing) and Conor McGregor (MMA).
