Floyd Mayweather makes bold feelings clear on potential Jake Paul vs Canelo Alvarez fight
Floyd Mayweather has already cast an easy prediction if Jake Paul was to fight Canelo Alvarez.
Paul recently defeated 58-year-old heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in a huge event, which saw him pick up his eleventh professional win.
After the fight, the 'Problem Child' renewed his plan to 168lbs unified world champion and boxing superstar Alvarez.
He has regularly made it his challenge to lure the Mexican into a huge mega-fight, insisting he plans to take the sport seriously and become a world champion.
But Alvarez's former conqueror Mayweather, who beat him in September 2013, believes it will be extremely one-sided.

“There’s no way [he would win] he’d get demolished.”
He added on Paul's career: "Jake Paul, I mean as of right now for what he’s doing, it’s good for what he’s doing but once he fights a real actual fighter, it’s going to be bad.
"One thing I do like about him, he’s selling it and he’s making good money and he’s entertaining, I like it.”
Alvarez is currently in the top ten of the pound-for-pound rankings and has shared the ring with a star-studded list of greats.
He has previously refused to shut the door on a fight with Paul despite his inexperience.
"Jake Paul doesn't need Canelo from a financial perspective nor from a belt perspective, because they're not going to fight for the belts that Canelo holds if they were to fight.
"Canelo certainly doesn't need Jake Paul to make money either. For me, if that fight was to happen, it has to be more than that.
"It has to be a desire to once again have the world stop and pay attention to this beautiful sport of boxing.
"Have the world look at it and say, 'Wow, boxing is really back,' and really bring other fighters into the fold there to help bring exposure to the sport like we just did with [Paul vs. Tyson].
"The hurdle isn't going to be money. There's so much money in that fight.
"The hurdle is both sides understanding why they're really doing it, if they end up doing it."
