Logan Paul threw a vicious counter at Canelo Alvarez.
Alvarez told TMZ Sports recently that YouTube personalities like brothers Logan and Jake Paul are demonstrating a lack of respect to actual fighters by taking part in boxing events, the idea being they’re using the sport to make money.
Logan Paul fired back by calling out Alvarez’s hypocrisy.
“I think he’s the guy that got caught using steroids,” Paul said on the Night Shift Gaming stream. “… We want to talk about disrespecting boxing, talk about a guy who didn’t play by the rules.
“… Just ’cause we’re attempting to do something and put on a great show and putting in the work, doesn’t mean you have to s— on us. Like, what the f—, bro?”
In fact, Alvarez did test positive for Clenbuterol in 2018, for which he was suspended for six months and missed one fight. He blamed the positive test on tainted meat.

“To say we’re disrespecting the sport, I feel disrespected, especially as it’s coming from a guy who quite literally disrespected and spit on the ethics of the sport. Yeah, it upsets me,” Paul said.
Paul also suggested that Alvarez might be jealous. It was recently announced that Paul will face Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition on Feb. 20. Mayweather is the only fighter to have beaten Alvarez.
