And to the shock of many Paul - who weighed TWO STONE more - took the boxing legend the full eight round distance.

Having avoided a knockout, no winner was declared, but Paul is confident he would become the first man to beat Mayweather if they rematched.

He said, per TMZ Sports: “Let me ask you what you’d rather see – Jake Paul vs Floyd or me vs Floyd again?

“Because, let me tell you something, if I fight Floyd again, I promise I’ll knock him out.

“I’ve got him figured out. I got it. At the end of the eighth round he was breathing heavy, I was coming alive.

“It’s gonna be a 10/12-round fight, if we run it back, and this time I finish him.”

Mayweather, 44, officially retired at 50-0 in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 33, in ten rounds.

He returned twice after, both in exhibitions, firstly against featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa.

Paul, 26, said: “No, nothing’s happened, this is all just hypothetical bulls***.

“Hey Floyd, thanks for the opportunity, would love to run it back some time if you’re up for it champ?”
