Many have chimed in on Logan Paul<\/a>‘s recent proposal to fight an NFL player in a boxing match. Add to the list Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> legend Ben Roethlisberger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paul offered $1 million to anyone who would accept the challenge<\/a>, and Roethlisberger’s former teammates, Antonio Brown<\/a> and Le’Veon Bell<\/a>, have sent feelers. Brown, who has been nothing but controversial, even went viral<\/a> for blasting Paul on X.<\/p>\n

For Roethlisberger, Brown would be a better opponent for Paul, who fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition match in 2021. The former quarterback, however, also expressed his skepticism<\/a> about the whole thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they should do is do two million and put AB in there against him because I know he\u2019s going to be a lot smaller. I would take AB over Logan Paul,\u201d said the six-time Pro Bowler on his podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, I don\u2019t know Logan Paul at all. No offense, I\u2019m not trying to talk trash. Wasn\u2019t Logan, or one of them, and Tom Brady talking trash recently? I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re just building up this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old Roethlisberger is quite familiar with Brown, having formed a deadly trio with him and Bell during their time together in Pittsburgh from 2013 to 2017.<\/p>\n

To say the least, Brown was a character.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw AB hit someone twice in the blink of an eye. Like, \u2018Wait, what just happened?’ He hit him twice, I think,\u201d added Roethlisberger, who led the Steelers to two titles in the Super Bowl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just for comparison, the 30-year-old Paul is 6-foot-2 and weighs around 210 pounds, while the 37-year-old Brown is 5-foot-10 and is about 180 pounds.<\/p>\n

Paul’s last boxing match was in 2023, getting the win after Dillon Danis was disqualified for attempting takedowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many have chimed in on Logan Paul‘s recent proposal to fight an NFL player in a boxing match.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":543782,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[31507,12660,703,49,48,115409,1992,514,949,82],"class_list":["post-543781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-antonio-brown","tag-ben-roethlisberger","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-leveon-bell","tag-logan-paul","tag-nfl","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=543781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/543782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=543781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=543781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=543781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
