YouTuber will fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., outweighs him by 50lbs.. does he have a shot?

A fool and his money are soon to part...

Mayweather should win without getting hit.

I guess these lightweight categories always had to do some circus show performances. People don't take the fighters seriously so they have to come up with some way to generate entertainment value.

When Mayweather fought McGregor, I wired $1000 to on offshore betting website and put it down on Mayweather to knock him out even though Mayweather had only 1 won of his last 10 fights by knockout.

I didn't even pay to watch the fight. I was that confident. Why? One is one of the greatest boxers in history. The other is a rank amateur. If this was a 10 round fight, I'd expect something similar.

My only concern was that Mayweather might lose on purpose or go easy on McGregor simply to try to make more money on a rematch.

In this exhibition the fighters will be wearing big gloves, I dont expect Mayweather to knock him out.

Mayweather did go easy on McGregor, but why would he lose on purpose? The fight improved his record to 50-0 to beat Marciano's undefeated champion record.

The fight was a joke; Mayweather could have knocked out McGregor in one round and any at least average fighter in that weight division could do so as well. It's insane that Mayweather earned $275M for a faux fight while Fury received about $50M for a heavyweight championship fight between two undefeated champions.

Only fights I'd pay to watch with Mayweather now is him vs Canelo or GGG. I know what would happen.

Maywaether could beat Paul one handed. Sad this is what boxing has become.

Its not boxing.

Mayweather retired years ago.

Paul's head doesn't weigh 200 lbs. He should enjoy the walk to the ring and the introductions, because that's all she wrote. Mayweather will knock him out in the first round, unless he's feeling generous like in the Conner circus.

His name is Jake Paul.

I'm aware of that.

I don't like either of them, well... I'd prefer Mayweather wins.. But I think the YouTuber has a chance.

Prediction: Mayweather

SAY HIS NAME!

Paul won’t land a punch. If Mayweather actually tries, the fight will last 15 second, tops

this ain't it.

it's true that floyd played around a little with conor, but to think that he could have ko'd him whenever he wanted is way off. boxing is a heavy focus in lots of mma camps and there are a number of mma fighters who could step into pro boxing and give problems to 'average' pro boxers with maybe 6months of boxing focus training (ex porier, masvidal, izzy adesanya, ngannou, maybe even kattar)

PSA to clear up any confusion: the boxer is Youtuber LOGAN Paul, who is the older brother of Jake Paul, the YouTuber who just knocked out Nate Robinson

Neither are boxers by trade. Logan has boxed fellow YouTuber KSI twice and had a majority draw then a loss, both went through all rounds (6 or 8?) and both matches were within a very tight points window, but again the opponent was not a boxer by trade so it’s impossible to tell.

Logan Paul is like 6’2” and 200lbs, pretty hefty build with broad chest/shoulders and has pretty solid muscle mass. He went to state in HS for wrestling so he at least has that background. The 2 matches against KSI at least show he’s competent enough to stand in the ring with another boxer but you can’t judge his actual ability from either match.

Either way unless this is already a mutually agreed upon publicity stunt where they will make a joke out of it, Paul is going to get smoked. Regardless of size or strength the fighting intelligence and instincts of Mayweather are going to be too much and will open up the opportunity for a KO. It takes one second of a lapse in defense and Mayweather will clock him in the head. Mayweather will be able to read & react to Paul because of what he has learned and experienced hundreds of times in his decades of training.

My honest prediction is Mayweather will KO Paul. He will play defense to let Paul gas himself and then start landing enough shots to drain him. Mayweather will be able to exploit any window to land shots on Paul. Death by a thousand cuts method. Paul’s team will throw in the towel or the ref will call it off. I doubt we see a knockout punch to the head but if he catches Paul off guard once it’s goodnight.

Saying that Paul has a chance is as idiotic as saying that Tyson should make a comeback.

I don't think this Youtuber will beat Mayweather Jr. but fighters have done well with little experience, Lomachenko won a World title in his 3rd fight, Israel Madrimov is the #1 contender at 154 pounds and he has only 6 fights, This Youtuber turned fighter Denys Berinchyk beat a fighter with 19 wins in his first bout and 22 wins in his 2nd fight https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/727039

I think this is the best Youtuber who is trying boxing, Though Ryan Garcia has a case, this youtuber has good balance good foot movement angles, if the youtuber Paul is better than Berinchyk skillwise than Mayweather has a real fight coming up, Berinchyk looks almost like a real fighter look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBcFcw46JTs&t=11s

I don't see that strategy changing. Floyd tends to be aggressive by not being the aggressor. I don't see his camp letting him get vunerable. Floyd's roadwork goes to 10miles his sparring sessions last for 60minutes defense only, did this change? There are a few variables to consider Gatti, Alvarez, DeLaHoya all stick out as bouts where they had to cut weight and all had more punching power yet at the end all of those opponents were very beat up.

Floyd's incredible aerobic capacity has a big return over the course of a fight as his nick, distracting cut jabs turn into haymakers because the opponent is stationary.

The variables being Logan is 50+lbs, wider, and taller mass. This could wear on Floyd I don't see the gap in experience and instinct being made up though.

**When/where is the fight?

Mayweather is no longer a boxer, he is an entertainer.

Mayweather let McGregor gas himself out because he realized there is money in boxer vs mma fights. If he finished McGregor too soon that money would no longer be there.

There is no real money in Youtuber fights. Mayweather finishes in round 1.

This is true. McGregor is an incredible striker, and even though boxing is very different to mma striking, there's no way he let it go as far as he did on purpose. If he'd gone for the KO in round 1 there was a chance he would have got countered and Ko'd himself, which he would never have been able to live down. He played safe because he knew McGregor would gas out, though he probably expected that to happen sooner.

McGregor was a fine amateur boxer and schooled a former two weight boxing champ in sparring. Several kickboxers have enjoyed great success in boxing, including Klitschko. To compare Logan Paul to McGregor is more ridiculous than comparing McGregor to Mayweather.
