Henry Cejudo believes he could beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. at his own game.
Henry Cejudo was not impressed with Floyd Mayweather’s performance against Logan Paul.
‘The Messenger’ went as far as to label Floyd ‘50-1’ and said the boxing legend wouldn’t last two rounds in the boxing ring with an Olympic gold medalist such as himself.
Hey 50 – 1 @FloydMayweather imagine what an Olympic gold medalist would do to a guy who lost to a YouTuber. You wouldn’t make it past two rounds with me. #oldman

“Hey 50 – 1 @FloydMayweather imagine what an Olympic gold medalist would do to a guy who lost to a YouTuber. You wouldn’t make it past two rounds with me. #oldman,” Cejudo posted on Twitter yesterday.
Mayweather went the distance with Paul in an eight-round exhibition bout this past Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, with ‘Money’ accusing the latter of ‘fighting to survive’ in the later rounds. Many fans expected Mayweather, 50-0, to finish Paul but the YouTuber-turned-boxer proved to be a tough foe to finish, utilizing his grappling in the clinch to nullify most of Floyd’s attacks.
Cejudo, who won an Olympic gold medal in Freestyle Wrestling, is expected to return to the UFC later this year. The former flyweight and bantamweight champion wants to make history by becoming a three-weight champ and is targeting a comeback fight against UFC featherweight titleholder Alexander Volkanovski.
