Jake Paul ranks the best pound-for-pound YouTube boxers

Jake Paul has named his top five YouTube boxers and unsurprisingly he’s put himself at the top of the list.

The 25-year-old has fought five times as a professional boxer and he currently has a perfect record – but some have questioned the quality of the opponents that he has faced.

The American won via knockout on the undercard of KSI’s first fight with Logan Paul.

Deji did win his first fight at the fourth attempt last month, when he destroyed Fousey at the O2 arena.

That seemed to have caught boxing legend Floyd Mayweather’s attention and the unlikely
