The Youtuber Logan Paul is booked to face the boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match on 20th February 2021. Logan has been training with many of the professional boxers, one of them is Victor Ortiz. Ortiz believes that Logan Paul is going to be a tougher challenge for Mayweather than Conor McGregor.

In his latest interview with MMA Fighting, Ortiz says, “Mind you, these are full-on professional boxers, I sat back in shock and awe. He was so composed and relaxed. He used his reach perfect – took a little step, hook down the middle, sleep. Night-night.”

“My only complaint there is that he didn’t read him a bedtime story. I know what I know, and I know what I see, What I’m saying, in a sense, is that he will give Floyd trouble.” Praising his friend Logan Paul, Ortiz added

“He’s a dear friend, and I believe in him, I’m telling you, it’s going to be an interesting fight. I’ve talked to him about Floyd a few times. … I give him the simple things: ‘Floyd is Floyd, but you’re unstoppable. You’re on another level.’”

“I strongly believe Floyd will have trouble. Logan can box, and he has power, reach speed, and he can move now.”

Floyd Mayweather holds a record of 50-0 in professional boxing and he last fought with Conor McGregor in 2017. Conor and Mayweather gone 10 rounds with each other and Mayweather won the fight via TKO. Ortiz believes that Logan will give Mayweather the first defeat of his carrier.

He added, “I can absolutely see 110 percent why they would be upset, I can agree to a certain extent. But honestly, realistically, today’s society is about numbers. You can be one heck of a boxer, but if you’re not putting butts in seats, you ain’t getting paid.”

“Conor couldn’t do nothing, I don’t mean to speak bad. Conor’s a heck of a UFC fighter in the octagon, but he has no business in a ring, as opposed to someone like Logan – Logan learned in a ring. So his stuff is all standup. Everything about Logan is boxing, angles, moving, so it’s two different worlds.”

“I couldn’t tell you what someone like Logan or myself could do in an octagon, but stick to what you know. And Logan, he knows boxing right now. McGregor’s a hell of a boxer, ’m a huge fan of McGregor. I’ve always pulled for Conor, except for when he fought Floyd.”

“Floyd shut it down when Floyd was done playing. He said, ‘OK, I just gave the world a show. I’m going to put you night night.’ Did he catch him a couple of times? Absolutely. It’s a fight, for god’s sake. But Floyd was going to shut it down when Floyd wanted to.”

“From what I see at the gym, I can honestly say Logan can probably hit harder than Mayweather, Now, who’s more accurate? We’ll see Feb. 20. I literally had my hands down in front of him, and I took four straight rights in the middle of the ring”
