Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz believes that YouTube star turned boxer Logan Paul has the skills to give Floyd Mayweather trouble in the ring.<\/p>\n

Paul is scheduled to meet Mayweather, who is widely regarded as one of the best boxers ever, in a controversial<\/a> exhibition match on February 20.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the fight, Ortiz spent some time watching Paul train and he was very impressed by what he saw\u2014particularly after seeing Paul knock out an unnamed professional boxer in a sparring session.<\/p>\n

\u201cMind you, these are full-on professional boxers,\u201d Ortiz told MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cI sat back in shock and awe. He was so composed and relaxed. He used his reach perfect \u2013 took a little step, hook down the middle, sleep. Night-night.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy only complaint there is that he didn\u2019t read him a bedtime story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ortiz knowns Mayweather well, having come up short against the unbeaten legend back in 2011. Despite everything he knows about Mayweather, he believes Paul is well positioned for success in the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know what I know, and I know what I see,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cWhat I\u2019m saying, in a sense, is that he will give Floyd trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a dear friend, and I believe in him,\u201d Ortiz added. \u201cI\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s going to be an interesting fight. I\u2019ve talked to him about Floyd a few times. … I give him the simple things: \u2018Floyd is Floyd, but you\u2019re unstoppable. You\u2019re on another level.\u2019 I strongly believe Floyd will have trouble. Logan can box, and he has power, reach speed, and he can move now.”<\/p>\n

Ortiz then took things even further, claiming that Paul will perform better against Mayweather than former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor did in 2017. That’s quite a claim, considering McGregor survived until the 10th round with Mayweather, and landed some meaningful offence in the early going.<\/p>\n

\u201cConor couldn\u2019t do nothing,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cI don\u2019t mean to speak bad. Conor\u2019s a heck of a UFC fighter in the Octagon, but he has no business in a ring, as opposed to someone like Logan \u2013 Logan learned in a ring. So his stuff is all standup. Everything about Logan is boxing, angles, moving, so it\u2019s two different worlds. I couldn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Mayweather] found a YouTuber \u2013 that sounds easy enough for a 20-time world champion,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cAlright, let\u2019s beat him up. But what I\u2019ve been watching and seeing is a YouTuber gone professional boxer who puts in hours and hours of work studying films. He\u2019s very disciplined, and he\u2019s working his butt off, and he listens. He has a heck of a coach [in Milton Lacroix] who\u2019s very knowledgeable and very experienced. I believe it\u2019s a dangerous combo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I see at the gym, I can honestly say Logan can probably hit harder than [Mayweather],\u201d he added. \u201cNow, who\u2019s more accurate? We\u2019ll see Feb. 20.\u201d<\/p>\n
