The boxing community is well aware of the ongoing rift between Floyd Mayweather and the Paul brothers. This rivalry began in June 2021 when Logan Paul fought the boxing legend in an exhibition match. Since then, the animosity between them has persisted, and Jake Paul has also become involved in the feud.

Although Floyd Mayweather has typically avoided engaging in verbal confrontations with the Paul brothers, a contradictory event recently occurred. A few days ago, the boxing legend made a brief appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, making some negative remarks about the Paul brothers. In response, Jake Paul seemingly mocked Mayweather, providing a fitting reply to his statements.

He (Floyd Mayweather) wouldn’t sign though. He said I have to weigh 160 (lbs), it’s not even physically possible.

The ‘Problem Child’ is arguably one of the noisiest figures in the boxing community today. As such, he has frequently called out fighters and mocked fellow boxers. Additionally, there have been several instances where Jake has expressed his confidence in defeating Mayweather in a potential matchup. However, the boxing legend is known for being strategic about his opponents, as he has a strong reputation to uphold.

Interestingly, even the elder Paul brother, Logan, shares the same sentiment. Notably, the fight between the ‘Maverick’ and the boxing legend was a non-scoring bout. Recently, Logan took a bold dig at Mayweather, accusing him of not paying a portion of the guaranteed purse from their exhibition fight. All these instances indicate the ongoing tension between Mayweather and the Paul brothers.

Jake Paul claps back at Floyd Mayweather for critiquing his fight against Mike Tyson

Since making his professional boxing debut in 2020, Jake Paul has defeated several formidable opponents. In his most recent fight, the ‘Problem Child’ faced and defeated former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Notably, the 30-year age gap between Paul and Tyson drew significant scrutiny from the public amid their heavyweight showdown.

Despite not being well received by several prominent figures in the boxing community, the Tyson vs. Paul fight performed exceptionally well in terms of viewership. However, when Floyd Mayweather was recently asked for his thoughts on the matchup, he criticized it. Notably, the ‘Problem Child’ was not ready to keep his composure after that.

You bum. Deji gave you a black eye in an event that had 4,000 people in it. Deji hahahah. I would knock you out in 2 rounds and you can’t sniff Mike Tyson’s toe.

Interestingly, after retiring in 2017, Mayweather only participated in exhibition boxing matches. Paul seems to emphasize how one of Mayweather’s exhibition opponents landed some brutal jabs on the boxing legend. Since then, the undefeated boxer has not responded to the ‘Problem Child.’ It will be interesting to see if he eventually decides to address this.
