"Not a good look for Floyd" - Daniel Cormier reacts to Logan Paul going the distance against the undefeated boxer

Former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul fight.

Cormier praised the YouTuber-turned-boxer for going toe-to-toe with 'Money', arguably the best boxer in the sport's history, for the full eight rounds of the scheduled exhibition match.

'DC' also said that Mayweather's failure to knockout Paul, who had a professional boxing record of 0-1 before the fight, reflected badly on the veteran boxer's part.

Earlier in the fight, the former UFC champion had noticed that the YouTuber was getting fatigued but he still managed to survive 8 rounds with Mayweather.
