Jake Paul and Logan Paul have taken boxing by storm. The two internet sensations have used their fame to land big pay-days. Due to their antics, the celebrity boxers have been the talk of the sport for months now. 

‘The Problem Child’ (3-0) is fresh off a stunning first-round knockout victory over Ben Askren. Whereas Logan Paul will face legendary boxer, Floyd Mayweather, in an exhibition bout, which reports suggest will happen on June 5. But will the duo box against each other? Jeff Mayweather doesn’t seem to think so.

In a chat with Fred Talks Fighting on YouTube, the trainer commented on a potential Paul vs Paul bout. He said, “I don’t necessarily know who would win. Um… I mean, don’t get me wrong, as of right now, you would lean toward Jake, because Jake got wins, Logan has no wins.”

This comment showed that he rates the younger brother’s skills higher than his older brother’s. It all but confirmed his opinion on Logan Paul facing Floyd Mayweather. However, this is not the first time Jeff Mayweather has given Jake Paul credit. He even picked him to beat Askren in their bout.
