Floyd Mayweather Vs Logan Paul- Is Logan Paul All Talk?

Last Updated on March 24, 2021 3:22 pm by

YouTuber vs Boxing Champion… who do you think is going to win? Logan Paul knows how to talk and hype himself up, but does he really have the strength, agility, and skills to beat Floyd Mayweather? A lot of people don’t think so.

The YouTube giant has stated he would stop creating videos on the platform and would begin boxing full time to showcase how serious he is about fighting. However, many people speculate that he’s just trolling for more views as he usually does. Mayweather has been boxing since 1996, whereas Paul’s fame and fortune has stemmed from being a YouTuber. When you look at the facts, it doesn’t seem like Logan Paul has a chance.

Logan Paul’s current standing as a boxer is at 0 wins and 1 loss. Whereas, Floyd Mayweather has won 15 world titles and a lineal championship in 4 different weight classes. It kind of seems like a no-brainer right? 

Let’s dive into it. 

Fight Postponed 

The highly anticipated fight with Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul was scheduled for February 20, 2021,  but due to “business complications”, the fight had been postponed to a later date. No one seemed to know why the fight was delayed, leading many to think Logan Paul was lying about the entire fight for ‘views’.

However, Mayweather recently revealed that the fight was canceled because they wanted a live audience to be present, so with all this built-up anticipation, it’s going to be one hell of a fight. The new date has not yet been confirmed, but both Mayweather and Paul expect the fight to go ahead despite the lack of a time frame. 

Since the postponement of the fight, Mayweather has celebrated his 44th birthday and has admitted that he has yet to start training for the upcoming bout. This is probably because he doesn’t see Logan Paul as a threat.

Although Mayweather officially retired in 2017, he is confident that he can overpower Paul and continue on with his legacy. During his birthday celebration, Mayweather explained, “Well, I’m not in training but I always try to maintain my weight and keep my body in some type of good condition. I’m not in the best shape of my life but I’m in good shape”. 

Mayweather does have a point. He 100% wants the fight to happen, but since the new date has not yet been announced, why start worrying about Paul now?

Mayweather claimed, “I know it’s going to happen. We’re just going to make sure everything’s right, everything’s where it should be”. Mayweather makes a great point, live fights are much better. There is just something about the atmosphere that can’t be replicated on camera. 

On the other hand, Logan Paul has been training hard ever since he knew he would be going up against Mayweather. It’s totally understandable, who wouldn’t want to be fully prepared in fighting a world champion. 

We’ll give it to Paul, he’s good at standing his ground and hyping himself up. Paul claims that Mayweather is in for a challenge and that it’s not just fun and games. Paul really believes that “Floyd’s putting himself in danger” by underestimating Paul. What do you think? Do you think the living legend will have a hard time? 

Paul explains, “He can underestimate me all he wants but I think when we get in the ring, he’s going to be in for a surprise and he’s going to be in for a serious fight. To him he might think it’s a joke but this s***’s everything to me. I’m not going to not take advantage of it”. Props to Paul for taking it seriously, he’s gotta train hard if he wants even a chance at winning. The odds are definitely against him.

Stats and Careers

Now that we know where everyone’s head is at, let’s jump into the stats and careers of Mayweather and Paul. 

Floyd Mayweather is 44 years old with 50 wins and 0 losses under his belt. Of those 50 wins,  27 of them were knockout wins, making his knockout ratio 54%. He has boxed a total of 397 rounds with an average of 7.9 rounds within his professional fights. On top of all that, Mayweather’s nickname is Money… who wouldn’t be worried?

In terms of Lineal titles, Mayweather has achieved: 

• World Junior Lightweight Title
• World Lightweight Title
• 2 World Welterweight Titles 

World Junior Middleweight Title

When it comes to World Titles, Mayweather has won:

• WBC Super Featherweight Title 
• WBC Lightweight Title 
• WBC Super Lightweight Title 
• IBF Welterweight Title
• (2) WBC Welterweight Title 
• (2) WBC Super Welterweight Title
• WBA Super Welterweight Super Title
• WBA Welterweight Super Title 
• WBO Welterweight Title

Wow! With 50 wins, an undefeated record, and all those titles, Paul better watch out. 

Now, let’s talk about Logan Paul and his short but entertaining career as a boxer.

Logan Paul is 25 years old with 0 wins and 1 loss. His first and only fight in his boxing career was against KSI, who he not only lost to once, but also lost to in a rematch. With technically still only one professional fight in his boxing career, Floyd Mayweather is set to be his second bout. 

Paul has so much confidence with not much reasoning behind it. He claims, “With every day that goes past I get better and he gets older”. It’s definitely a good mentality to have when going against a huge legend. 

So, as Mayweather is a world boxing champion, Paul may be in over his head with this one. We gotta give Paul huge props for being so confident and hardworking in his training to fight Mayweather, but the end result seems obvious. 

As Paul continues to train for his upcoming fight, he may gain the power he needs to compete with Mayweather, but let’s face it, Mayweather has yet to lose a bout, and it’s very unlikely that he will now. 

It’ll definitely be an exhilarating fight to watch, so lookout for an upcoming date to be announced. Mayweather’s got this in the bag and we can’t wait to watch it all go down!
