Khabib Nurmagomedov, Khabib's coach, said that JAKE PAUL is bigger and more powerful than Conor McGregor during a fight.
Paul spent nearly his entire boxing career trying and convincing McGregor to enter the ring.
Jake Paul is bigger than Conor McGregor and has more power, Khabib's trainer said.
Javier Mendez, who is known for training UFC legend Khabib, says it's because he supported the YouTube star.
Mendez Betway Insider US - "Sometimes it's possible to be bigger than you think and not punch harder."
"But Jake Paul is larger than Conor, punches harder, and he's better in this instance. So all three variables are with Jake.

"He is experienced in handling high-pressure fights and has proven that he can handle that pressure.
"So it's either a big or a small man, and the big man just happens to have more firepower."
McGregor, 33 years old, has only boxed professionally once. He lost to Floyd Mayweather (45), in 2017.
Paul beat online rival AnEsonGib, 37-year-old ex-NBA player Nate Robinson and 37 year old Ben Askren, retired UFC welterweight.

His two most recent wins were against Tyron Woodley (39), who was an ex-UFC champion. He won on points in August, and then a brutal knockout several months later.
McGregor and Paul could not agree on the weight. McGregor was last seen fighting in the UFC lightweight division at 155lb. Paul is currently fighting at 12 stone.
Paul, 25, weighed largely at 193lb (13st 5lb), but required a catchweight 175lb (12st5lb).
Mendez, a MMA coach, supported Mendez's victory under boxing rules even though Mendez was at a reduced weight.
He stated that he would prefer Jake Paul at 175 to Conor in a boxing match because Conor is too large, but Conor can't be counted out.
"Conor is a great boxer so don't discount that. However, his size is a bit much.
"Jake Paul hits very hard, as you can see by his actions. Jake Paul is only getting better, so if you aren't aware of his abilities, it's time to wake up.
"So, I believe the size is a significant difference and the power would prove too much for Conor."
