Logan Paul has been one of the biggest names in influencer boxing. He fared well when he managed to seal a fight against Floyd Mayweather. The 50-0 boxer has etched his name in the hall of fame and is considered “The best ever”. Witnessing a YouTuber-turned-boxer face a legend like Mayweather was out of the expected. Not to mention, the bout was unusual for reasons more than one. First, Mayweather had enormous skill and experience advantage. Second, the bout was an exhibition that permitted the competitors to have a big weight difference. Paul was 30 lbs heavier than the boxing legend during their weigh-in.
Though, the size did not factor in the outcome, there was no official winner as the fight went the distance. But the fans at large found Mayweather to win a majority of the rounds. On the other hand, Paul believes he did better than what most people give him credit for. To the same, the fans made sure to give him a reality check.
