LOGAN PAUL has claimed he would’ve knocked out Floyd Mayweather if their showdown was a 12-rounder.
The YouTuber turned boxer locked horns with the five-weight world champion in an exhibition match in Miami in June – going the full eight rounds with the Money Man.
But Paul, 26, believes he would’ve had handed Mayweather his first stoppage loss if they shared the ring for a few more rounds.
The elder Paul brother told the True Geordie, he said: “My conditioning is f*g good, bro.
“If the fight went 10 or 12 rounds, I think I would knock him out. I say that in full conviction.”
The Maverick believes Mayweather was fatigued at the end of the final round.
He continued: “I saw him breathing heavy for the first time that eighth round and it was because I had been leaning on him.
“I’m 30 pounds heavier. Like no matter how you cut it, me leaning on a guy that size is gonna get him tired no matter how good he is.

“I was coming alive too. That’s what we trained for, we sparred for 12 rounds. I’m probably throwing 120 punches by the 12th round.
“My conditioning is good, I had a little ‘uhh’ in the fourth round then second wind came in.”
Paul is eager to return to the squared circle, saying last month: “I have to.
“This is the coolest thing on the planet. You think about the Roman Colosseum, when you watch the gladiators fight to the death.
“Look around. My brother filled this arena up in Cleveland, Ohio, his home city. It’s the coolest thing anyone could ever ask for.
“I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Fighters, bro, modern-day gladiators. There is no more dangerous athlete.
“When the fighter walks in the room, everyone feels it. He’s got a presence. And it’s cool, I love it.
“I love the sport, I love entertaining. And honestly, I’m f—ing good, bro.”
