Floyd Mayweather can't knock out Jake Paul, says Ryan Garcia
Ryan Garcia has given his thoughts on Floyd Mayweather vs. Jake Paul.
The undefeated boxing legend is back in the news once again. However, it's not due to him coming out of retirement, nor a possible exhibition return. Instead, it was once again due to his feud with 'The Problem Child'.
The two have been on bad terms for over two years now, with the feud beginning at a 2021 press conference. Mayweather was slated to fight Logan Paul, but instead had an impromptu fight with latter's younger brother. After the YouTuber grabbed at the former champion's hat, all hell broke loose.
Things haven't improved between the two since then either. Last week, the two crossed paths outside a Miami Heat basketball game. The issue was that Mayweather was with his massive entourage, and Paul was alone.

The boxer's team eventually chased after the YouTuber, prompting him to flee back into the arena. Since then, fans have chosen sides to come out of the altercation. Some have taken Paul to task for running away, while others have blamed Mayweather for attempting to jump him.
Jake Paul’s plan for the rest of 2023, per @KEEMSTAR sources:
- Floyd Mayweather
- Tommy Fury rematch
- KSI https://t.co/aQvMmUbrMY
However, many fans believe this will lead to a professional fight between the two. If the bout happens, Ryan Garcia believes Mayweather could have a tougher time than expected. In an interview with TMZ, 'KingRy' stated:
"Floyd's getting up there in age, but he'll probably still beat up Jake. Guess what? Jake won't get knocked out. 100%. He couldn't knock out Logan."

Beyond a fight between the two, Ryan Garcia believes what Floyd Mayweather did was wrong.
'KingRy' was quick to note that if 'The Problem Child' fights 'Money', he'll likely lose. However, he won't be knocked out, as Mayweather struggled to put away Logan Paul in his exhibition with the legend in June 2021.
However, the lightweight star feels the boxing legend is wrong for the encounter. In an interview with TMZ, Garcia blasted Floyd Mayweather for rolling up on the YouTuber with a massive entourage instead of just himself.
"He shouldn't be running up on a guy with 50 dudes, that isn't right. You look at the truth of that, it is what it is you know. But, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about knocking out Gervonta Davis, and hopefully Jake comes out."
