Roy Jones Jr: Logan Paul Isnβt Big Enough To Beat Floyd Mayweather
Roy Jones Jr. doesnβt give Logan Paul any chance of beating Floyd Mayweather when the two men square off this Sunday on Showtime pay-per-view.
Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time. βMoneyβ finished his career with a perfect 50-0 record and beat the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Saul βCaneloβ Alvarez.
Paul is best known as an internet celebrity. Over the last few years he has moved into boxing with great commercial success but is yet to pick up a win in the ring. Paul lost his first and only professional boxing bout to date when he took on fellow YouTuber KSI in 2019.
Jones Jr. scoffed when asked by TMZ Sports if Paul has any chance of causing an upset this weekend, he said.
βItβs very hard to hit one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time. So, itβs very hard to hit him. That being said, I donβt give the kid a chance. Cβmon man that Floyd Mayweather are you serious?
βHe can walk him down, he aint gotta run,β Jones Jr added. βHeβs boxing, this dude is a boxer. This dude is a YouTube sensation. Floyd boxes. Not only does Floyd box, Floyd was one of the best pound-for-pound for a long time. I mean, boxers couldnβt hit him, howβs a non-boxer going to hit him?
Some point to Paulβs huge size advantage as a possible issue for Mayweather. Jones Jr. doesnβt agree with that notion and says the YouTuber isnβt big enough to cause Mayweather any issues.
βHeβs not big enough,β Jones Jr said. βIf he was Mike Tysonβs size it would be different, heβs not Mike Tyson size. If he was Mike Tyson size, ok. But heβs not Mike Tyson size. You not Mike Tyson size itβs not gonna happen.
Do you agree with Roy Jones Jr? Is Logan Paulβs size advantage irrelevant when he fights Floyd Mayweather?
