Paul said, “F**k no! He’s too big for me.”
Paul wants none of LeBron James
It’s understandable that Paul wouldn’t want to step into the ring with LeBron James. James stands at 6’9, 260 pounds, and is one of the most freakishly athletic players in the history of the NBA. James is an absolute freak of nature, moving at speeds that no man of his size should physically be able to.

It is an interesting approach from Paul to try and deny fighting against LeBron James and challenging trained fighter Conor McGregor. While McGregor is not as big as LeBron James, he is still a trained fighter and a lethal striker.
It will be interesting to see if LeBron James ever chooses to step into the ring. It is a lucrative opportunity for an athlete, especially for someone of his crossover appeal.
