UFC commentator Joe Rogan has heaped praise on Logan and Jake Paul for their involvements in boxing.
The Paul brothers have used the platforms they built on social media to put on some huge boxing fights in recent years. Fans, pundits and fighters are divided about the impact the YouTube duo have on the sport, but Rogan is one of many who believe the brothers are good for boxing
Jake has taken his venture into boxing more seriously than his brother, going unbeaten in five professional fights. Rogan believes Jake's rematch with Tyron Woodley last December would have been different if the ex-UFC champion had more time to prepare for the fight.
“It would have been a different fight had Tyron had the time to prepare, I guarantee you,” he said on his podcast 'The Joe Rogan Experience. “He would have had more conditioning, more confidence to hit the gas. If you don’t have a full camp, you still are in shape, you’re a professional athlete.

"Tyron took it on just a few weeks notice. There’s no way he was conditioned for that fight. So when you’re not fully camp conditioned, you take breaks."
Woodley was filling in on short notice to replace the injured Love Island star Tommy Fury, who withdrew from his grudge fight against Paul. The 39-year-old MMA veteran had been outpointed by Paul when they fought for the first time earlier that year.
"He’s still a f***ing stud of a man," Rogan said of Woodley. "But he doesn’t have the kind of conditioning that you need to go a hard fight. There was no way he was conditioned for that fight.”
“Him and his brother are f***ing animals. I mean, what they’ve been able to do is incredible. His brother knocked out Tyron Woodley. with one punch. He knocked out one of the greatest welterweight champions of all time with one punch."
Logan announced his retirement from boxing at the start of this year, but has since hinted at an exhibition fight against Brazilian singer Whindersson. Rogan thinks Jake, who has knocked out every professional opponent he's fought, is the better boxer of the two.
“See, he’s got the power out of the two of them," Rogan said of Jake. “Logan is a really good athlete but he’s not as good of a boxer, but Jake Paul on top of being a better boxer, he’s got legit power."
