He said, “I made a list of everyone, who said I’d lose this fight. I made a list of everyone who said that Floyd was gonna dig the exactly how, and I’m posting it like you’re all f**ked. Mike Tyson, I love Mike Tyson but he’s on it. He told me on my own podcast, ‘Floyd’s gonna beat your f**kin a**’. That’s what he said. Floyd didn’t beat my f**kin a** Mike!”

Moving into this fight, Paul made his intentions clear from the very first minute. Throughout those 8 rounds, he was the sheer oppressor who kept Mayweather on his toes. ‘The Maverick’ even responded with some fiery hits in the ring at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Also, he took mammoth advantage of his height and reach and dodged some of Mayweather‘s punches with the same. Although ‘Pretty Boy’ had most of the moments in this fight, Paul still staggered him in a few moments during the tussle.

Is Logan Paul ready to elevate his boxing career from hereon?
