Logan Paul found the whole idea hilarious and so refuted by saying, “I grew horizontally and vertically. Conor McGregor, big name, small guy.” Some found Paul’s remarks hilarious, but some took it into serious consideration and pondered over the challenge Mayweather had taken as he announced a Logan Paul fight.

The difference between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul

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.
