Fifteen times world champion boxer and one of the greatest ever in the sport, Floyd Mayweather is returning to exhibition boxing for the second time as he takes on Youtuber Logan Paul on 6th June in Miami, Florida.
There is no doubt in anyone’s mind about who is the clear favourite to win the bout. Logan, just one boxing appearance so far, and that too in a loss against fellow YouTube star KSI, has clinched a once in a lifetime opportunity to be in the same ring with the 50-0 boxing legend.
However, there have been some speculations done by a handful of boxing fans that suggest that Logan does have a couple of advantages over Floyd. For starters, “Money” is 5 ft 8 in while in comparison, Paul towers at 6 ft 2 in, something Paul even used to dig at Mayweather. There is also a 50-ish pound difference between them and also, Logan is 26 while Mayweather is 44 years of age.
All the aforementioned facts are even boosting Logan’s confidence ahead of the fight, as the 26-year-old feels he can do the “impossible” against Mayweather, and thinks he stands a chance against the iconic pugilist.
“You’d be lying if you said it was impossible,” Logan spoke recently on The Daily Show With Trevor Noah, “he’s human, it’s a fight and anything can happen. I’m 30 pounds heavier, half his age, a foot taller and I work my ass off so I don’t know, anything could happen.”
It’s all up to me: Floyd will take full control of the Logan Paul fight
On the other hand, Floyd remains unfazed about the fight, and unsurprisingly, he considers that he will have complete control inside the squared circle at the Hard Rock Stadium next month, and has not planned any strategy whatsoever.
“No strategy, I just have to show up,” Floyd revealed to Barstool after being asked about where he has any modus operandi about the Logan Paul fight.
“If I want it to go one round, it’ll go one round. If I want it to go two, [it’ll go] two. It’s all up to me,” the 44 year old added.
