Boasting all the glorious boxing achievements, Floyd Mayweather still couldn’t terrify his nearing rival Logan Paul, who happens to be a YouTube boxer. Paul appears to acknowledge Mayweather’s fighting accolades but has claimed to be unaffected by that.

The 26-year-old seems confident about his chances and has put some bombarding statements about the undefeated five-division world champion boxer. He is currently training in Puerto Rico with trainer Milton Lacroix and has connected with the fan from the gym.

In a chat with Brian Campbell. ‘The Maverick’ opined on several issues, including Floyd Mayweather. No wonder he didn’t put the exact respect on Mayweather’s name that the boxer deserves.

Logan Paul has bigger physical attributes than Floyd Mayweather. That said, he will carry more weights in the fight and will also utilize a sheer reach and height advantage. So, he might not be terrified of being hurt badly. However, winning against an undefeated world champion still looks pretty difficult for the Internet superstar.
