“Jake (Paul) has a lot of advantages over Conor (McGregor). He is bigger in size and the fact that he has been fighting with professional boxers for three years makes him know what he is doing. Therefore, he should not be afraid of Conor at all. He has to fear fighters like Canelo (Alvarez), who could knock him out in one round and it would be embarrassing,” said Mendez.

For Mendez, in fact, Jake Paul he should prioritize clashes in which he could take advantage. The trainer also stated that the YouTuber has 'longer' boxing than McGregor.

“He doesn’t stand a chance against that type of guy and he should really stay away from him. But against Conor, he definitely has a chance. Looking at the two, Jake has major advantages in size and power. Yes, he has no fighting experience, but he has only been boxing for a long time,” he concluded.

even though Jake Paul have already stated that they are interested in a fight against Conor McGregor, it doesn't seem like a fight between the personalities is close to happening. The YouTuber works for his next duel in the 'noble art', while the Irishman recovers from a serious ankle injury suffered in the fight against Dustin poirier.
