Floyd Mayweather gives his prediction of a possible fight between Jake Paul and Canelo Alvarez
While a fight between Paul and Alvarez may seem an unlikely prospect, the 28-year-old believes he can entice Canelo into a fight if he is offered the opportunity for a cruiserweight title.
Floyd Mayweather shared the ring with Jake's brother, Logan Paul, in 2021 and the two fought to a draw in their exhibition match.
Despite the criticism Paul continues to receive, 'Money' Mayweather admitted that he actually likes 'The Problem Child' and what he does.
“When you go back, you have to look on the Internet and do your homework. I think (Jake) was sitting on a podcast one time and he was talking about, 'I don't want to do an exhibition. against Floyd Mayweather', he said, 'I only do real fights' and of course I can't go up in weight.
“I would fight him in a real fight at the weight I'm at but Jake Paul, I mean from now on for what he's doing it's good for what he's doing but once he fights a real real fighter it will be bad.
“One thing I like about him is he sells it and he makes good money and he's entertaining, I like that,” Mayweather told TMZ Sports.
However, Mayweather has given his opinion on how a fight between Paul and Canelo would go.
“He would be confused by Canelo. There is no way (he would win) that he would get demolished,” Mayweather continued.
Jake Paul offered title fights to several boxing champions
If 'The Problem Child' fails to secure his desired fight against Canelo, the 28-year-old will be called upon by several other boxing champions.
Artur Beterbiev, the undisputed light heavyweight champion, called out the 'Disruptor' after his win over Tyson and asked if he was finally ready to fight a real boxing champion.
The undefeated Russian isn't the only champion Paul has called out, as heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois also told the 28-year-old that he is ready to defend his title against him in a superfight.
