Many have chimed in on Logan Paul’s recent proposal to fight an NFL player in a boxing match. Add to the list Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger.
Paul offered $1 million to anyone who would accept the challenge, and Roethlisberger’s former teammates, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell, have sent feelers. Brown, who has been nothing but controversial, even went viral for blasting Paul on X.
For Roethlisberger, Brown can be a greater opponent for Paul, who fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition match in 2021. The previous quarterback, nonetheless, also expressed his skepticism concerning the whole thing.
“What they need to do is do two million and put AB in there against him because I do know he’s going to be loads smaller. I’d take AB over Logan Paul,” said the six-time Pro Bowler on his podcast.
“Again, I don’t know Logan Paul in any respect. No offense, I’m not attempting to talk trash. Wasn’t Logan, or one in all them, and Tom Brady talking trash recently? I don’t know in the event that they’re just build up this thing.”
The 44-year-old Roethlisberger is sort of conversant in Brown, having formed a deadly trio with him and Bell during their time together in Pittsburgh from 2013 to 2017.
To say the least, Brown was a personality.
“I saw AB hit someone twice within the blink of a watch. Like, ‘Wait, what just happened?’ He hit him twice, I believe,” added Roethlisberger, who led the Steelers to 2 titles within the Super Bowl.
Only for comparison, the 30-year-old Paul is 6-foot-2 and weighs around 210 kilos, while the 37-year-old Brown is 5-foot-10 and is about 180 kilos.
Paul’s last boxing match was in 2023, getting the win after Dillon Danis was disqualified for attempting takedowns.
