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.
