"He hasn't watched KSI box" - Fans make fun of Joe Rogan's "rare L take" as he heaps praise on the YouTuber-turned-boxer

Joe Rogan’s latest comments on KSI’s boxing skills left fight fans scratching their heads. The UFC color commentator praised the YouTuber-turned-boxer, calling him "legit" among influencers, but netizens weren't buying it.

Fans quickly pointed out that Rogan’s assessment seemed out of touch. While KSI holds a 4-1 (1 no contest) record in professional boxing, many felt that labeling him a “pretty good boxer” was a stretch.

Speaking about KSI's skills in a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Fight Companion, the UFC color commentator said:

"KSI’s a pretty good boxer. Well, he’s legit, like for those kind of guys, he’s a good boxer. For that class...But KSI looks legit to me, like, out of those guys. He’s legit. Yeah, he’s got hands. But Dillon [Danis] is not a boxer."

Several fans took to X to react to Rogan's comments, writing:

"Rare L take by Joe."

"He hasnt watched KSI box."

"Hate to say it but when it comes to boxing JR [Joe Rogan] doesn’t know sh*t, HUGE fan of him but his takes are always so sh*t when it comes to boxing."

"Literally where has KSI proven that though LMAO? Where has he proven he’s “a good boxer”?

"Joe will say anyone with some clout is good. Bro called Ronda Rousey an amazing fighter when she’s got worse hands than Ben Askren. Joe has honestly become a bit of a casual when it comes to combat sports I don’t think he follows it as much as he did in his younger days."
