Jake Paul Breaks into Top 15 Cruiserweights in the US According to BoxRec
Jake Paul’s ascent in the boxing world continues as BoxRec ranks him among the top 15 cruiserweights in the United States. Despite facing criticism for his unconventional path to the top, Paul’s recent victories over Ryan Bourland and Andre August have solidified his position in the rankings.
Paul’s journey in boxing has been unconventional, starting with fights against influencers before transitioning to MMA opponents. While some critics argue that Paul has yet to face significant challenges in the ring, BoxRec’s decision to include him in the top 15 reflects his growing influence in the sport.
However, not everyone is pleased with Paul’s rise in the rankings. Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping expressed frustration with Paul’s approach to the sport, accusing him of disrespecting boxing and its athletes. Bisping criticized Paul for calling out boxing legend Canelo Alvarez and questioned the legitimacy of his victories.
“Jake Paul is now a top 15 cruiserweight in the United States on BoxRec.”
Despite the criticism, Paul remains focused on his boxing career and plans to “step back” to find better opponents after facing backlash following his victory over Bourland. As Paul continues to navigate the complexities of professional boxing, the debate over his place in the sport rages on.
Bisping said, “You are the suckers if you paid for the fight, and I know most people didn’t…”
However, he wasn’t done! Bisping continued, “He’s [Jake Paul] calling out Canelo [Alvarez] because he knows damn well that fight is not going to happen…He is disrespecting the sport of boxing, he’s disrespecting all the people [who] worked their way up, but more importantly, he’s conning the fans…Beating people you know you can beat, that’s called being a bully.”

Despite the backlash, Paul remains undeterred in his pursuit of success in boxing. He plans to take a step back to seek out more challenging opponents following his recent victory over Ryan Bourland.

While some applaud Paul’s determination and success, others, like Bisping, raise concerns about the impact of his unconventional approach on the sport’s integrity. As Paul continues to make waves in the boxing world, the scrutiny and debate surrounding his career trajectory are unlikely to subside anytime soon.
