Logan Paul may have stepped away from his controversial prank antics as a YouTuber in order to focus on his boxing career, but he is still ruffling feathers in the fighting community, challenging some of the giants in his sport to take him on in the ring.

In a recent episode of Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson, former world champion boxer Badou Jack shared his thoughts on Paul’s odds if the two were to ever face off. “I’ll fight him,” he said, “but do you think he’d want to fight me?”

The consensus seemed to be that yes, Paul most likely would. “You saw what he did to the greatest fighter that ever lived,” said Tyson, referring to Paul’s recent match against Floyd Mayweather, where he went eight rounds with the fighter, forcing Mayweather to admit that he is a “rough, tough competitor” and a better boxer than he previously thought.

“I don’t believe he’s got the balls to fight me,” Jack continued. “I don’t think he’s stupid enough.”

Tyson disagreed. “He is stupid enough to do it,” he said. “That would be so beautiful, if that could happen… He did really well in the Floyd fight, so it’s a possibility he could go a couple of rounds with you, a couple of exciting rounds.”

Promoter Amer Abdallah went one further, saying: “If Logan Paul beats Badou Jack, he will go down, pound for pound, as one of the best fighters in the history of the world.”

Paul, for his part, might have his eye on another opponent: shortly after his victory against Mayweather, he claimed he has what it takes to beat heavyweight boxing great Tyson himself. “You can’t tell me I can’t beat Mike Tyson,” he said. “Bro, he’s old, old.”
