‘I Would Beat Him’: Jake Paul Challenges Floyd Mayweather Following ‘Over the Heel’ Remarks Ahead of Anderson Silva Fight

Jake Paul and Anderson Silva are set to compete soon and everyone is excited about that fight. However, the one point that has been the most raised about this fight is the age gap between Silva and ‘The Problem Child’. Jake Paul is 25 while Anderson Silva is 47 and past his prime. Recently, retired boxer Floyd Mayweather commented on Jake claiming he fought “MMA guys” that were “over the heel”.

In his recent interaction with The Jim Rome Podcast, Paul not only responded to Mayweather’s ‘over the heel’ comment but also challenged the undefeated boxer ‘Money‘.

Paul responded by saying, ” Okay, Floyd, let’s get in the ring. If you’re basically insinuating that I may lose to a boxer, then why not let it be you? Let’s make that matchup happen.”

Having said that, Paul expressed that Mayweather would not fight him. “I think Floyd knows I would beat him,” he reasoned why saying. Now the question was if Anderson Silva at 43 was over the heel, as Mayweather would claim. To this, Paul drew an example from the past records of boxing and drifted the attention to the fight that Silva fought last year at 46.

Paul contested Mayweather’s view. He said, “Anderson Silva just beat former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez jr. in a boxing match. He’s never retired, and he has the reach advantage against me, he has the height against me, [and] he has the experience against me.”

According to Paul, it was easy for people to forget that “George Foreman came back and won a world championship when he was 48.”

If Foreman could make a comeback at 48 and Silva could defeat a world champion boxer in the ring, then he was not ‘over the heel’. Paul thinks on October 29th he will compete against the entire MMA community.
