Jake Paul has ignited global fury by naming Cristiano Ronaldo the third-most overrated athlete of all time.
In a viral social media post, the 28-year-old “Problem Child” wrote: “#3 Cristiano Ronaldo – I already know this one is gonna cause an uproar lol.”
Paul’s full list crowned Babe Ruth #1 and Trevor Lawrence #2, while also torching Ryan Garcia, Conor McGregor, Canelo Álvarez and others.
Yet it was Ronaldo’s inclusion that detonated the internet, despite the Al-Nassr icon still smashing 15 goals in 14 Saudi Pro League games this season.
Attempting to shield himself from backlash, Paul declared Lionel Messi the undisputed GOAT, stating, “Messi is the greatest of all time.
In the World Cup final, he had more non-penalty goals AND assists than the entire France team… facts don’t lie.”
As Paul prepares to face Anthony Joshua on December 19, his latest controversy guarantees one thing: the self-proclaimed villain remains boxing’s ultimate headline machine.
