Was Logan Paul coming alive in the last rounds?

In a revealing conversation with Graham Bensinger, Logan Paul opened up about his prospects of a potential rematch with Floyd Mayweather. The interviewer probed, asking, “How do you think the fight would be different if you fought Floyd now?” Without hesitation, Paul confidently responded, “I think I’d beat him.” He elaborated on his past intimidation, admitting, “I was so enthralled with the idea of fighting Floyd Mayweather, in my head, he’s this 5’2 giant. But he’s just 5’2. He’s beatable. Bro, I’m a YouTuber. And I went eight rounds with the greatest fighter of all time, yeah right.“

Transitioning to the possibility of a rematch, Bensinger inquired, “Would you ever fight him again?” Paul’s answer was layered, “Probably not. Maybe.” He elaborated on his ambitions, stating, “But I just feel like I got bigger fish to fry, literally.” Yet, he acknowledged the allure of making history: “But the idea of being the only person to knock out Floyd Mayweather excites me.” Assertively, he added, “I would also request 10 rounds, because I was coming alive at the end, he was not.”

To fight Mayweather again or not?

Further exploring the rematch discussions, the interviewer asked, “Have your camps talked about doing it again?” Paul revealed, “He asked me. Twice.” He recounted Mayweather’s proposal for a fight atop Dubai’s Burj Al Arab, which he declined, emphasizing, “He’s not a person you take a fight on six weeks’ notice with. Not with the goal that I have. I already fought Floyd Mayweather. If I did it again, it would be to beat Floyd Mayweather. Which I think is doable, I just need to train proper.“

He was able to give me the first time, I was a kid who was excited about fighting Floyd. Now I don’t give a f***.” He concluded with a strong statement on fairness and self-worth, “And also, if I fought him again, it wouldn’t be 85-15. It’s 50-50. F*** you bro, I don’t need this s***. You need it way more than I do.”
