Going into his third boxing appearance, Logan Paul appears confident about making the most of some serious advantages over Floyd Mayweather. Despite having no in-ring achievements, Paul has faith in his physical attributes.

0-1 as a pro, ‘The Maverick’, who has a weight cap of 190 lbs, will outweigh his opponent by a lot. Ahead of the fight, Paul connected with First Take and said, “I think the biggest thing here and it’s obvious is my height, my weight, my reach, and my age. You know there are weight classes in boxing for a reason. And I am gonna be weighing in three weight classes heavier than Floyd, and probably come into the fight four weight classes heavier.”
