A short video clip has been making rounds since it got uploaded on YouTube. It has Logan Paul answering the question of who’s stronger – his former rival and now business partner, KSI, or Floyd Mayweather Jr. According to the YouTuber-turned-pro wrestler, KSI has it in him to knockout Mayweathter Jr.

All wrestling fans sighed in relief when they learned that Logan Paul would continue with WWE. His contract with WWE ended with the ‘Wrestlemania 39,’ but he has reportedly agreed to a multi-year contract with the promotions. Unfortunately, the twenty-eight-year-old’s boxing foray never met the kind of success that his younger brother Jake Paul enjoyed. But his performance in the wrestling arena since his debut last year has immensely impressed everyone.

So in the clip that has a voiceover, a question pops up – “Who’s stronger, KSI or Floyd Mayweather?” The YouTube short continues with Paul’s picture in the background: “Logan Paul says he knows who [is] stronger between KSI and Floyd Mayweather. And the answer is a bit surprising.” Then the clip seesaws between the training footage of KSI and Mayweather Jr.

The channel states, “KSI has transformed into one of the internet’s most prominent boxers and weighs around 193 pounds. Yes, people are suspicious if he could beat Floyd Mayweather, who weighs 148 pounds. That is until now. Logan Paul admitted to feeling scared of KSI punches in their fights, and he couldn’t have not felt any of Floyd Mayweather’s punches during their match. Logan [does] not say[s] KSI’s punches are harder than Mayweather, but he thinks KSI could easily knock out Mayweather in a boxing match.”

 

But it seems the fans were unwilling to buy the argument. Soon varied comments started filtering in, mostly criticizing the observation.

The user Leo also referenced the sheer absurdity of the comparison. They belong to different weight categories, “This is ridiculous. There in two different clas weights.

Citing the apparent weight difference between KSI and Floyd Mayweather Jr., the following user highlighted the reasons for having a weight division. “It’s called weight class.‘ He said.

Usr Keegon Murphy stated matter-of-factly, KSI may be more robust than Mayweather Jr. However, that power remains ineffective if his punches aren’t able to connect, “All that power means nothing if he can’t hit the man.

Likewise, the following user seems sure that KSI would be unable to do anything to ‘The Best Ever.’ After all, when they dueled, the latter played around with Logan Paul, rarely bothered. He said, “0% chance. Mayweather toyed with Logan and still knocked him out like it was nothing..

The following user also cautioned that sheer strength alone barely helps in combat. What matters is how skillfully and intelligently you use the techniques, “Stronger doesn’t mean anything. It’s about the skills and being smart.

As per an article published on ‘dexerto.com,’ during one of the episodes of ‘The Pain Game,’ Brian Davis, aka True Geordie, asked who between KSI and Mayweather Jr. hits harder, and Paul replied, “KSI for sure, for sure, not even a competition. Mayweather has clean shots, and I was like, cool, good job. KSI, I was like, keep me away from those hands.

Paul and KSI have fought twice. Their first match, which took place on August 25, 2018, ended in a draw. However, they next met in a professional fight on November 9, 2019, and KSI won by split decision.
