Rahman Sr. vs Logan and Jake Paul

Rahman Sr. has had a legendary boxing career, to say the least. He competed in 62 professional bouts and has a record of 50-9-2 with 41 knockouts under his belt. Moreover, he fought some of the best heavyweights during his time and was even a two-time heavyweight champion. The most notable moment of his career was when he defeated another heavyweight legend, Lennox Lewis, to capture the heavyweight title for the first time in his career.

The Paul brothers, on the other hand, do not have a ton of experience, with Logan just competing in one professional and two exhibition bouts, and Jake is yet to face a real challenger in his young career. However, even though the heavyweight legend has way more experience than the two, he is way past his prime while the Paul brothers are in peak physical conditions which could make this an interesting matchup.
