Why Jake Paul Threatened Boxing Legend Floyd Mayweather

To the dislike of many MMA and boxing fans, Jake Paul holds professional boxing wins over several legendary combat sport names, however, it is difficult to give credit to the social media superstar for his boxing resume so far, as all of the big names who he has defeated are much older than him and way past their prime. ‘The Problem Child’ ruffled many feathers last November when he defeated heavyweight icon Mike Tyson in a fight which realistically shouldn’t have ever taken place given the 31-year age difference between them at the time of the fight.

Arguably the greatest boxer ever, Floyd Mayweather, was questioned about Paul’s professional boxing career during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, and made fun of the social media star’s history of targetting older opponents, claiming that even at 48 years old, a fight against Paul would be “easy.” ‘The Problem Child’ had a quick response for ‘Money.’

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather claimed that even at the age of 48 years old, he would defeat Jake Paul. ‘Money’ was asked about Paul’s latest fight against Mike Tyson and while he didn’t outright slam the bout, Mayweather laughed at the question and played down both Paul brother’s achievments in the sport so far.

You can see Mayweather’s response to being questioned about Paul below:

In typical fashion, Paul responded to Mayweather’s comments just hours after the show aired and threatened to knock him out in two rounds, as well as making fun of ‘Money’ for being given a black eye by YouTuber, Deji, in the exhibition bout they had back in 2022.

See Paul’s response to Mayweather which was posted on X below:

Given the recent back and forth between Paul and Mayweather, could it be possible that the two will face off against each other in the ring next? Fighting ‘Money’ would go along with the trend of Paul facing older opponents, however, one thing is for certain, the fight would be financially atrractive for both men and many people around the world would pay to watch it.
