Despite being the underdog, Logan Paul believes he can land the biggest upset of sporting history by vanquishing the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather. The 26-year-old has constantly boasted his prowess and hasn’t hesitated in ridiculing Mayweather’s chances in an in-ring scrap with him.

Although it’s hard to picture ‘Money’ losing against Logan Paul, ‘The Maverick’ has claimed that he will beat Mayweather. Relying on his physical advantages in the fight, Paul has envisioned himself stopping Mayweather. In a chat with belowthebelt, the YouTube sensation claimed what would happen if he beats the five-division world champion.

“I honestly think the earth would stop revolving around the sun, the world would flip on its head, everyone would freeze in time, things would explode, possibly the core of the earth. It would be disastrous, it would be f***ing insane. It would be the greatest upset to ever take place in the history of the sports,” said Logan Paul.
