Last week, the news of Logan Paul fighting Mike Tyson in an exhibition broke out and took the combat sports community by surprise. Nobody expected the pair to ever lock horns, irrespective of the speculations that went on after Paul’s fight with Floyd Mayweather.

As of now, the contest is not set in stone. Despite that, many notable combat sports personalities have given their take on this rumored fight. Recently, the p4p king, Canelo Alvarez, in a chat with Fino Boxing, opened up on this fight.

The unified super-middleweight king didn’t have much to say about this fight. He didn’t give a flamboyant or a completely dull reaction to this potential fight.
