KSI bashes Jake Paul for avoiding him by taking easier fights YouTube: Boxing SocialYouTube star KSI has taken a dig at Jake Paul for taking \u2018easy\u2019 fights that he \u201cknows\u201d he\u2019s going to win instead of fighting his longtime rival.

I like the illusion people think he\u2019s way better than me.\u201d Handpicking fights has long been a criticism of modern boxers, not just Jake, as many fans constantly voice their anger at super fights being avoided just so fighters can maintain their record.
