CONOR MCGREGOR has been warned his biggest weakness could come back to haunt him if he boxes Logan Paul. The UFC superstar revealed this week that he's in talks to take on the YouTube sensation in a boxing match in India next year. SunSport understands preliminary discussions have indeed taken place over the shock crossover clash.
McGregor, 36, suffered a tenth-round TKO defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr after succumbing to fatigue in his boxing debut in August 2017. The Irishman has beefed up considerably since that fateful night at the T-Mobile Arena, so much so that ESPN pundit Stephen A Smith believes fatigue will rear its ugly head again if he faces Paul.
During a recent episode of ESPN's 'First Take', he said: “Those big muscles are going to make you a bit slower. "And you’ve got to remember that Conor had quickness, he could catch you quick and clip you. “That’s not going to be the case in the boxing ring.”.
Social media sensation and WWE star Paul has boxed four times, drawing and losing to rival KSI, going the distance with Mayweather and getting the better of BJJ whizz Dillon Danis. The 29-year-old doesn't have anywhere near the same combat experience as McGregor, but that isn't stopping Smith from picking him to get the better of 'The Notorious'.
