50-0 as a pro, Mayweather had a tough time against Logan Paul who was relatively stronger and larger. While KSI will relish a similar advantage in a possible clash, it’s hard to picture Floyd Mayweather doing something different from what he did in his last fight.
That said, as the five-division champion has shown little interest in doing any other exhibition appearances, we may never see KSI vs Floyd Mayweather happen.

Meanwhile, he also returned with action frequently and hurt Logan Paul. Hence, given ‘Money’s fight IQ and defensive abilities, KSI might have to re-think his claim. Even if he has found a loophole, a past his prime Mayweather proved he is still leagues above the celebrity fighters.
