The mega clash between YouTube star Logan Paul and boxing’s greatest ever, Floyd Mayweather, still seems surreal. To put it into perspective, when ‘Money’ Mayweather was fighting Conor McGregor in the ring, Logan Paul was uploading YouTube videos with titles like “lighting my brother’s backyard on fire“.

Four years later, Logan Paul towered over Floyd Mayweather in a boxing ring. This matchup seemed surreal even to Logan Paul, as he himself talked about how nothing is impossible after the fight.

His brother, Jake Paul, took inspiration from him and now believes he can pursue big names in combat sports like Conor McGregor, Gervonta Dahttps://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jake-paul/vis and even Canelo Alvarez.

Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather – Results and fight stats

While Mayweather is always confident in his abilities, he is also equally smart with the decisions he makes in and out of the ring. Aware of the obvious size difference, there was always a small room for a knockout or being overpowered in the fight. So, this fight was not sanctioned, was not officially scored by judges and no winner was announced at the end.

Boxing purists never expected Logan Paul to last against Mayweather, let alone outbox him. However, the 26-year-old showed decent skills inside the ring against the boxing legend and went the distance with his opponent.
