Yeah but he’s not a real fighter, which is the point. This was a sideshow to make money. Nothing more.

Your average boxing fan has no idea who these people are and still doesn't know. There's so much cringe in this thread and the main thread. I think some of ya'll have never watched a boxing match before last night. First, most of your hardcore boxing fans hate FM and don't know anything about the Paul brothers. Second, no boxing fan gives a shite if Paul brothers can win against FM in a streetfight, most if not all would agree FM would lose.

Third, nobody is really defending FM, there is nothing to defend. He's not well liked, and he's old and has been retired almost 5 years. He even stated prefight he has no strategy for Paul and hasn't even really watched him.

Fourth, the fight is how FM fights, that's his style. It's like knocking Deion Sanders as an NFL CB b/c he couldn't tackle, DS knew what he did best and excelled at that. FM is endurance, speed, and defense, he was 50-0 with that, his fights are boring yes. FM cares about going undefeated and making big money, he doesn't care what any of us, or your average boxing fan cares about.

Ya'll keep knocking boxing, your average boxing fan has been knocking boxing for 20 years It's like ya'll are trying to start an argument that doesn't exist and had to make a separate thread to do it.

Has the video of Floyd holding Logan up after a would-be knockdown been posted? The memes about it are pretty good




I hadn’t seen that yet. Any dipshit who thinks this wasn’t 100% a sideshow needs to be slapped.

There was obviously an agreement in place before the fight to make sure it went 8 rounds.

Floyd Mayweather embarrassed the boxing world tonight. The fact a 50-0 160 pound pro couldn’t KO a 190 pounder off the street says it all. Floyd will never sell another fight again. I don’t know how good the Paul brothers are, but I do know for sure Mayweather is straight garbage.


That is the worst take in the history of sports.

Mayweather is 44. It was an exhibition. A set up.
Surely you can’t be that naive.

Mayweather is one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. Try watching some of his early stuff, or at least anything vs a real boxer.
Floyd could sell you a shite popsicle.

I did see where in the interview Floyd said he was better than he thought he would be and he gave him a lot of props. When asked if he thought he could become a professional fighter, Floyd said he'd have issues with people in his weight class right now but if he kept training it was possible.

Logan Paul has been training his arse off for months including sparing with a lot of highly ranked professional Puerto Rican and allegedly holding his own. He loves boxing and takes it very seriously.

Am I alone in thinking this match puts a stain on Mayweather's legacy.

I know Floyd is older and way past his prime, as well as being outweighed by Paul by a good 40 pounds. But for a guy who is considered by some to be one of the greatest boxers of all time, I would've expected him to dominate much more than he did.

Also, if the internet kid had any weight to his hands, and could throw accurately, Floyd would have been down for the count on that shot.



have you ever thrown a hook or overhand punch? Please tell me it didn't look like that gif
