In the latest episode of the ImPaulsive podcast, illusionist David Blaine crowned Floyd Mayweather with the title of “the beast of fighting“. Addressing Logan Paul, Blaine expressed how excited he was when ‘The Maverick’ squared off against Mayweather in boxing. The fact that Logan Paul worked on a strategy to survive against one of the best boxers in the world fascinated Blaine. In this connection, as Blaine referred to Paul vs. Mayweather, Mike Makjlak mentioned that Mayweather is different from Mike Tyson.

The assertion by Majlak gradually led Blaine to state that “technically there is nobody better” than Floyd Mayweather. Blaine opined that Mayweather scarcely cared about the entertainment part of boxing. According to him, Mayweather rather showed concern for the “algorithm and the numbers“. Speaking to Logan Paul and Mike Majlak, the illusionist argued what made Mayweather “the beast of fighting“.

Speaking about what makes Floyd Mayweather different from anyone else in boxing, Blaine asserted that he is the most precise fighter in the ring. Additionally, he mentioned that Mayweather did not care about the audience that watched his fights. And yet, in his opinion, the fact that Mayweather paid special attention to “algorithm and the numbers,” made him the beast of fighting. “Floyd is the most precise. He doesn’t care who watches like it doesn’t matter. Floyd only cares about the points, he doesn’t care if somebody wins because they are knocked out if the fight is entertaining,” Blaine said.

For him, it is just a strategy. So, he’s kind of like the beast of fighting, you know. Like how do I get the algorithm and the numbers, right? That’s how Floyd is,” Blaine added. On being asked if Mayweather is the best boxer, he replied, “Every great fighter in the world says technically there is nobody better.” As Blaine ended his argument, Paul, who still claims to have not received his share of money from Mayweather, informed he would make his comeback this year.
