Over a year and two months back, Logan Paul, on June 6, inside the Hardrock Stadium, fought Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout. The duo, in an entertaining encounter, went the whole distance of eight rounds. Since it was an exhibition fight and both survived until the ringing of the final bell, no one was declared a winner.
Ahead of his fight with Floyd Mayweather, Logan Paul faced a question that inquired about his game-plan given Floyd Mayweather tried imposing himself on Paul like he did with Conor McGregor.

As the comment went viral on the net, UFC fans took a jab at Paul, the former friend of Dwayne Johnson. Fans did not like what ‘The Maverick’ had said. Therefore, to give Paul a taste of his own medicine, they reacted in various ways, almost questioning his career in pro fights.
bonds927 wrote, “I pray Conor sees this and knocks Logan into a new career.”
mrbusybody called Paul a clown and question his ability to throw a punch. They said, “This clown cannot even punch Floyd. Floyd smaller than Conor.”
In just six words, Lola commented, “Conor McGregor would destroy this guy.”
And finally, Yuri Bezminov said, “Yet he got knocked out and held up by Floyd?”

Well, true to Paul’s words, there is a vivid difference between fighting Conor McGregor and Logan Paul. Although Paul lacked the resume of an elite fighter, so to speak, he undoubtedly had a physique that allowed him an edge. When Logan Paul fought Mayweather, he weighed in at around 200lbs and stood 6′ 2″ tall.
As opposed to Paul, McGregor, at present weighs in at 156lbs and stands only 5′ 9″ tall. Were Logan Paul to fight Conor McGregor now, he would do so with almost 44lbs weight and 3 inches of height advantage against the former UFC two-weight champion.
