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

I actually think if this Logan or Jake paul is as good as Jimmy Paul (see the video I posted) was in his prime, Mayweather Jr. Will have his hands full. Jimmy paul was at one time considered the best lightweight in the World, and as an Amateur Jimmy Paul was the USA's top fighter in his weight as he knocked out Frankie Randall (Randall gave Julio Cesar Chavez his first loss as a Pro and was a Great Amateur) Jimmy Paul would have Represented the USA in the 1980 Olympics (Which the USA boycotted) so the key for me is

Is Logan or Jake Paul as skilled a Boxer as Jimmy Paul IN HIS PRIME WAS?

If Yes Mayweather Jr. has a tough fight coming up.

His only chance is if Mayweather leaves a window open, gets clocked, then is vulnerable and Paul takes advantage. Highly unlikely but I’d love to see it just for the drama.

It's not just highly unlikely, I'd put as literally a 1 in a million chance or less. It would be fun, though.

No. They are rank amateurs, and I don't mean it disparagingly - they have some athleticism, but their boxing skill is at less than zero compared with any fighter who even makes their living as a sparring partner for ranked fighters, let alone Mayweather.

Additionally neither has any relation to Jimmy Paul.

They could be decent in the sparring ring and active in their respective local boxing gym’s scene but that is nothing compared to a professional level boxer, especially the ranks of Mayweather. You can probably beat a German Shepherd in tug of war but a wild wolf would rip your shoulder off.

Logan’s younger brother Jake (who knocked out Nate Robinson, but is also not a boxer by trade) is repeatedly asking for a match with McGregor. They are almost 100% guaranteed doing this for the prize fighter money and the spotlight as opposed to running up the ranks as a pro boxer. Both are social media superstars so the more exposure the better. Might as well take advantage of the stage while you have the mic. Props to them for actually pulling off these prize fight matchups in the first place.

A real fight between just about any 200lb man and a careful boxer like Mayweather would end with Floyd on the ground and the 200lb man breaking his own hands on Floyd's face. A pure boxer gambles everything on not being grappled.

This might be the dumbest post in this thread.

says a 150 pound runt who never tried fighting a 200 pounder.

You seriously have no idea just how easy it is for big people to take little people down. Is Floyd a one-punch KO guy? no. Is he a wrestler in any way? nope. Chin down and guard up while closing and then it's all over. Like as not Floyd will throw a few and clinch out of force of habit.

‘one-punch ko guy’ is misleading. anyone who knows how to throw a punch can one-punch ko someone given they connect. 99% of the time guys described as having ‘ko power’ in one or both hands are really just better than average at landing power punches on the spots you want them to land (chin, upper temple).

so now we can see that even tho mayweather is not known for landing power punches on other pro boxers, who’s guards are very developed and difficult to get around, it ought to be rather easy for him to get power punches around the guard of the amateur logan paul

There is legitimately one chance for Jake Paul - that Mayweather, early on (and I mean within the first minute of this fight), is taking this so lightly and at this precise and most heightened moment of nonchalance, Paul lands a king hit. It's the only way this works for him.

The chance of this happening though is so minute - but it is a possibility. If this turns into any longer than a minute, Mayweather will probably let this dude land a few blows that seem impressive but aren't and will just chip away until he wants to end the fight. I don't think Mayweather legitimately cares about beating up and hurting this dude - just getting paid.

Hahah sorry - its not even Jake Paul - it's Logan, my bad. That's really how much I care about this.

Honestly I find this thread to be dumb but I started it because it's true, a retired boxer is fighting a social media star.

It's kind of like a stunt. But in a way I support it in the regard that it shows other people they can use social media to get their voice out there.

But I'm also kind of disappointed this is a thing.

Whatever. It's not really that interesting to me.

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.

You are incorrect. You assume he's trying to bring them down when he's pointing out a fact. I also have a clean record. Wait, I could have been arrested for shoplifting when I was 18. I grabbed a handful of candy from the bulk bin but the security gaurd gave me a warning. I could have been charged for a lot of things when I had road rage. And probably for harassment to a lot of people. But I have a clean record.

And I have no issue pointing out those who have f***ed up like mayweather or the guy who was executed on the other thread

Not bringing them down, it' s reality.

If you have a problem with reality that's your problem.

This thread cracks me up. Mayweather will destroy Paul. It will last as long as Mayweather wants it to. Think about it Mayweather has fought professional boxers for decades. He knows how to take a punch. Paul has had 2 legit fights and one was against a guy from the NBA. This is laughable.

Funny thing is if the NBAer fought Mayweather you would have said the NBAer has a legit shot being superior athletes and all. So now that Paul has demolished an NBAer are they no longer superior athletes?

Also, Mayweather is most certainly not one of the greatest and many despise him for having the corrupt US boxing system on his side as you can see in this video where he was clearly outclassed and beaten up...yet given a win..

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

Lomachenko had 2 Olympic titles to his name before turning pro. Madrimov had 330 amateur fights, and 2 Asian Games medals. Their experience goes a hell of a long way beyond their pro-record.

You can argue there is a slight difference between the amatuer sport and the pros, but I'm confident it definitely prepares you better for it than a YouTube career would.

If you would take 5/1 odds on this YouTuber to win, you are an absolute fool!! Would you take 5/1 odds on me to beat Lebron James 1-on-1? I mean, I've beat a lot of dudes 1-on-1, just like this YouTuber beat one guy in boxing. hahaha

Mayweather will smoke this chump SO fast it will be no contest. Just a publicity / money-making stunt. Period.

Nba players don't make good fighters. Have you ever seen an NBA fight? They can't throw punches and swing wildly and rarely connect with whatever they aimed at. Reach is an advantage until your arms are so long that you can't throw controlled quick punches.

Robinson had zero defense against Paul. It was like he had been coached to keep his hands down and not up. He was ridiculously bad at defending his head.

I would consider $10 with the possibility to make $50 vs $10 to make $20.

5/1 odds on the YouTuber but I wouldn't invest more than $10.

How can you believe that a YouTuber with one fight against a basketball player can be as skilled as a world champion/Olympic boxer?

Those skills take years to learn, fulltime, even if they have the talent, athleticism and motivation..

If you saw a buff YouTuber take on some fat guy in a sprint and beat him, would you think he was as good as Usain Bolt?
