KSI - VERSUS - FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.?
Two contenders step into the ring - Who would win?
Cast your votes in the comment box down below.
Well - I mean, actually - if you’re asking me - as we say in England, KSI would get absolutely
battered.
And by absolutely battered, I don’t mean he’d become a deep fried fish - but I imagine
that he’d be in a much similar state.
Why?
Well let’s take a look.
Welcome back - to Life’s Biggest Question - the channel where we, seemingly, throw two
ready made enigmas into a question mark shaped ring and let them fight out their differences
in a safe, judgement free environment.
As always - I’ll be your host Jack Finch - as we ask the question, What If KSI Fought
Floyd Mayweather?
Floyd Money Mayweather Jr. was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on February 24th, 1977.
Mayweather comes from a long line of boxing stock - and his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr.
was a former welterweight contender who throughout his time in the ring fought numerous career
names, including boxing legend, Sugar Ray Leonard.
His uncles, Jeff and Roger Mayweather were also professional boxers.
As a kid, he couldn’t get away from the ring - and since then, he’s climbed his
way from living in a seven-deep single bedroom, to becoming one of the most financially successful
boxers of all time - generating over 1.67 billion dollars in revenue throughout his
career.
Compare this then, to KSI - AKA JJ Olatunji - born on the 19th June 1993, in London, England.
JJ is an incredibly successful YouTuber, and over the course of 10 years has racked up
over 19 million subscribers and four billion video views on his collective creative assets.
He’s in the Guinness Book of World Records, as well as being star of his own show - the
Sidemen.
His work ethic is undeniable - and when it comes to boxing, JJ actually - surprisingly
has a pretty good record.
Because - throughout KSI’s Amateur Boxing career - he has a win record of 100%.
In 1 out of 1 fights, KSI has been the victor - and you can’t deny the data when it comes
to boxing.
In February 2018 - KSI vs. Joe Weller happened - and he stepped into the ring with his fellow
YouTube personality, to a fight that attracted over 21 million views on the night, and over
25 million over the next several days.
Compare this then, to Floyd Mayweather.
Erm.
Actually.
Yeah, nevermind.
Over his entire career of 50 professional boxing matches - Floyd Mayweather Jr. hasn’t
lost a single fight on his professional record.
In 50 out of 50 fights, Floyd Mayweather has been the victor.
That’s also, a win record of 100%.
He announced his retirement after his 50th professional fight against UFC Legend Conor
McGregor - an upstart who challenged him in what was dubbed The Money Fight.
Similarly then, exactly what would occur if KSI ever thought he’d want to take a pop
at Floyd Mayweather?
Now - is that completely out of the realm of possibility?
Do we live in a timeline where unequivocally, this would never - under no circumstances,
ever happen?
Well - Donald Trump is president, the UK has Brexited, and Dennis Rodman is best friends
with Kim Jong Un - so at this point, I’m pretty confident that anything could happen.
And, well - the machination is already there - on August 25th, KSI is fighting Logan Paul
- and if JJ takes the win, he’s launching his own professional boxing career.
If you’re asking me - more power to him - that’s an incredibly bold and confident
step, and a humble, soft spoken Boxer rarely makes it past the second round.
What we do know about KSI - is that he’s an incredibly diverse showman, and if the
recent press conferences between the Paul brothers are anything to go by - then he can,
some may say, talk the talk.
Compare that to Money Mayweather, who has built an entire career on being incredibly
level headed during press events - but lethal with his short choice of words - hitting his
opponent exactly where he knows it will hurt.
Because let’s face it - this is all this hypothetical fight would ever be - a war of
words.
Much like the KSI/Logan Paul fight - heck, even the Mayweather/McGregor fight - it’s
social, monetary momentum that snowballs faster than a frozen bowling ball.
Everybody’s talking about it.
We’re talking about it.
You’re listening to it.
It’s buzz in its purest form, and it creates an immense amount of wealth for all those
involved.
What would happen to a YouTuber though, that stepped into the ring with an undefeated boxing
legend?
Inevitably, KSI would have earned the achievement of a lifetime if he made it into the second
round.
But how would the world react if we witnessed a bright, young - arguably arrogant - YouTuber
get physically deconstructed by a professional boxing legend, live on television?
Who knows?
Would we even care?
Is this what we want?
Are you not entertained?
Who knows - maybe KSI would win - at this point, reality would no longer matter - but
what we do know, is that it’d make a colossal shed tonne of money.
And maybe /that’s/ all that matters.
But, no, KSI would get his arse handed to him.
Anyway - let us know how you think it’d go down in the comment box down below.
Oooh, that’s gonna be a fun one to scroll though.
