Mike Tyson’s Ex-Trainer Makes a Shocking Statement About Floyd Mayweather: ‘I Don’t Think He Trusted His Reflexes’

The exhibition bout between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul last weekend certainly caused a stir in the boxing world. Everyone is talking about the event, and many have criticized it. And now, Mike Tyson’s former trainer, Teddy Atlas, has explained why Logan Paul survived all eight rounds.

After weeks of trash-talking and promotion, the fight did not live up to expectations. Paul struggled to land any significant strikes on Mayweather, and it was evident that ‘TBE’ never switched gears in the bout. And now, Atlas has given his take on why ‘Money Mayweather’ was so cautious.

The famous trainer spoke on his show, THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas, and said, “I got the feeling, by watching, that he’s even more cautious now as he’s older. Because he understood that there was still a risk with a big guy like this, and so, he didn’t know of… he didn’t push the envelope in that area.”

Is Teddy Atlas right about Floyd Mayweather?

Based on his comments, it is clear to see that Atlas thinks Mayweather was unsure of himself in the fight. This is a bold claim to make about one of the greatest boxers of all time. So does Atlas have a point when talking about Mayweather losing his reflexes and skill?

At 44, it is no surprise that ‘Money Mayweather’ is not the fighter he was years ago. In addition to this, the former multi-weight champion did not rate the YouTuber’s skills and took it easy. Therefore, he did not have a full-fledged camp.

Ultimately, this showed in the fight. Although Mayweather had no problems handling Paul’s attacks, he never stepped on the gas to get his opponent out. While some claimed it was part of the agreement, Atlas feels it is because he did not trust himself to get it done without getting hurt.
