NFL Stars vs. Logan Paul: The Training Gap

Claressa Shields recently weighed in on the buzz surrounding a potential bout between YouTuber‑turned‑boxer Logan Paul and NFL stars. She warned that even the most formidable athletes—like defensive end Myles Garrett—would struggle against Paul unless they committed at least six months to boxing training.

The debate ignited after Paul’s feud with Tom Brady, prompting speculation that Paul might face off against defensive powerhouses. Shields emphasized that sheer size—Garrett’s 6‑4 frame and 272 pounds—doesn’t guarantee victory without proper fighting skills. “Garrett would need a half‑year of training to stand a chance against Paul,” she said.

Some NFL players, such as Dion Dawkins and Le’Veon Bell, reportedly offered to fight Paul for a million dollars, but the deal was allegedly halted by WWE. Shields’ comments underline that experience and preparation are decisive in any cross‑sport matchup.
