Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather is less than a week away. The YouTube star will be taking on the 50-0 unbeaten boxing legend at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The fight will be an eight-round exhibition fight, with each round lasting three minutes. For Logan Paul it would just be an experience, whereas Mayweather will be looking forward to not losing his ‘0’.

Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, ‘The Maverick’ Logan Paul warned Mayweather that it wouldn’t simply be an exhibition fight, but a war rather. He also brought out a reference from the movie ‘Scarface’, saying that he wouldn’t want to watch his younger brother suffer, looking at him (Logan) getting beat.

‘I don’t know if you’ve seen Scarface’ – Logan Paul

Paul was quoted as saying, “It’s not an exhibition. What exhibition is eight three-minute rounds? This is a fight. He’s trying to make an example of the big brother, so the younger brother has to suffer and watch and witness. I don’t know if you’ve seen ‘Scarface’, but that’s what he’s trying to do.” [via SkySports]

He then continued, “This is going to be a war. I’m not going to make s*** easy for him. We’ve been training our asses off for eight months now, preparing to fight this guy. I’m 30 pounds heavier, I’m like six, seven inches taller. Half his age and I’m hungry, and I’ve got nothing to lose.” [via SkySports]

Logan’s only advantage going into the fight against Floyd Mayweather is his size and reach. He is at least 7 inches taller than Mayweather, and weighs significantly more than Mr Money. However, landing even a single strike on Mayweather would be a herculean task. How could Logan pull it off, when even the great Canelo Alvarez struggled to land a lot of strikes.

Logan has previously fought just once in his professional and amateur career. Both against popular YouTuber KSI. He drew the amateur bout with KSI and lost the professional fight via. unanimous decision.

Who do you think will get their hands raised, come the 6th of June?
