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

Fight is Feb 20th, not sure of location but I believe either LA or Vegas. Paul said he wants fans but doubts there will be any unless something dramatic changes with COVID

The announcers at the KSI fight(s) kept praising Paul’s jab so we’ll see how that goes, combined with his size and reach it could help him maintain distance from Mayweather so he can avoid a headshot. Not getting KO’d has to be the goal. Unless a miracle happens and he clocks Mayweather there is no way he beats him based purely on scoring.

They both probably took this because they will make bank, this will be a PPV jackpot. I’m genuinely surprised it got approved/sanctioned because if Mayweather is even somewhat reminiscent of his prior self it could get dangerous for Paul from a safety standpoint.

Thanks for the clarification I mixed up the brothers and thought Jake ( who is trying to be a boxer) was fighting Mayweather not Logan.

I think it could be more ineresting than some people believe.

This guy is 25, the prime age and appears to be in prime shape.

Mayweather is 44, has been out of competitive boxing for a few years.

Now he does stunts. Or is he still a professional boxer? I don't know the answer.

I thought he retired, but apparently not.

Young hungry guy vs experienced fighter well into his 40's. Older guy is outweighed by a fair margin.

Younger guy could surprise him. That's my worry for the older guy.

I thought my Friend Irleis "Cubanito" Perez beat Jimmy Paul, but Jimmy Paul had great skills well Paul's nickname was the Ringmaster, this was a 15 Round fight, is this Logan or Jake Paul as good skill wise as Jimmy Was? My friend was a very close friend of Roger Mayweather and sparred with him regularly. I sparred several times myself, I saw Floyd Mayweather Jr at the Golden Glove Gym when he was 5 or 6 years I was in my early 20's IN retrospect I should have asked Roger if I could spar his nephew, I would not have been intimidated at all as I saw him as a little kid at the time, not as a great fighter, I never saw him spar or workout, but they did bring him to the gym a lot, I had some amateur fights, but was sparring a lot with lots of people, Irleis, Roger, Bruce and Don Curry probably a few hundred others, I know everyone will view it as a grandiose fantasy, but I really believe I could have knocked out or killed Floyd Mayweather Jr. had I sparred him when he was age 5 or 6 and I was in my 20's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOi-47Wc3vI&t=56s

That's crazy, why would you spar with a child? of course you would have killed him at that age

I didn't spar him, I didn't even think of it at the time, I saw him as a little kid, not a great fighter, It would not have been impressive at the time, no point in it, just amazing what he became, but back in the early 80's he was just a little kid.

They never would of let me spar him, I was too big .

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

Lomenchenko is arguably the greatest amateur boxer in history. He fought 397 amateur fights and only lost one and had won two Olympic golds and two World Champs before he turned pro.

You cant touch Floyd Mayweather, you just cant hit him.

I can't believe people are actually this stupid.

Here's what this fight is about: money. Both will make a ton of it. The Paul brothers are talentless jokes and stand no chance of winning and Logan Paul knows that. This isn't an effing Rocky story. Mayweather will deliver the fate of Apollo Creed to Logan Paul if allowed, and part of me hopes Mayweather makes him a little bit more brain damaged than he already is.

On the other hand, we’re sitting at home on a Saturday night, so what’s $50 for pay per view?

There’s a chance Logan gets some hits in. There’s always a chance. But I’d say Floyd has a 99% chance of winning

Good eventually wins.

You talk like this (trying to bring people down for a single past mistake they made) because you are insecure with yourself. Try working on yourself, being happy, bettering your life and you will achieve a healthier perspective towards others and yourself.

So, nobody remembers Floyd dismembering Nasukawa in an exhibition a couple of years ago? Floyd looked like he wanted to give the audience their monies worth until Nasukawa tried to take it seriously. Paul won't make it out of the 1st round unless they pre-plan it.

Age and size differences aside, no chance if Mayweather takes it even slightly seriously. Mayweathwr flat our carried McGregor. A random guy cannot just walk into the ring to box a pro, and certainly not someone of Mayweathers caliber.

Oh come on, man. The YouTuber is the equivalent of a 5 minute miler, and that's generous. He is young, probably better than the average young guy off the street, and has probably been training for a year or so, but that's all.

Mayweather is one of the very best ever, and has held up well with age. He's 44 - that's not ancient, and he's not been away from boxing long enough for his skills to degrade MASSIVELY. Not even the weight is that relevant - Mayweather's been fighting heavier men for his whole career, and weight matters much less in boxing than in wrestling or MMA.

This is the equivalent of getting a 5:00 mile guy and racing him against a 44 year old El Gerrouj. In fact, it's probably even more of a mismatch because technique is so much more important.

Let's take it a step further: could a young guy who has a tiny bit of talent for snooker beat a 60-year old Ronnie O'Sullivan? Could a new guy who has supporting roles in local amateur musical theatre out-sing Tom Jones, even though Tom is 80? Even in sports, would a random guy off the street who dabbled in skateboarding for a year do better than Tony Hawk now? This is the type of gap in technique we're talking about.

There's levels to this, man. I assume you're a runner? Well, you know that feeling when you're training really hard in the same group as someone who you just know you'll never get anywhere near? Take that, then take the guy who THAT guy knows he will never get close to the level of. Do this like 100 more times, take THAT guy, and compare him to yourself. Now you're getting close to Mayweather vs Paul.

The gap is probably the biggest mismatch in sporting history, discounting Jesse Owens and a horse. Mayweather will not finish it early because he wants to give the fans a show/keep the gravy train alive, but if he was offered another £500m to finish the fight as fast as he could? It's done in less than 10 seconds, and I'm not exaggerating. Immediate KO.

Wait..what??? I have passed background checks in four states (California, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee). This is at the DOJ level. I also cleared a 2009 federal background check at the Federal level I can judge these people. I am happy because I didn't have to make those mistakes. I learned at school. I learned at home. I am better because I have never been even under criminal suspicion. I'm a no-name but I'm better than Mick O'Prick or Roid Haymaker. I don't need a lawyer, a solid defense or a strategy. I sleep perfectly. No guilt. As for the others???

This. Mayweather is arguably the greatest at his craft. Paul has trained for a few years, but he is far from professional level. Floyd had light hands the last few years of his career relative to professional boxers. To the average human, it’s like getting hit by a semitruck barreling down the freeway. Jake Paul wouldn’t even be able to see the jab coming. Don’t believe me? The camera could barely pick it up: https://youtu.be/pogTx5owgME

Federal level = FBI level.

Could YOU even pass that?
