Logan Paul got a great endorsement from someone who knows a lot about gold.
Kurt Angle recently spoke with GreatOffshoreSportsbooks about his pro wrestling career. During the interview, Angle was asked if he could see Logan Paul as a future WWE Champion.
“Yes. Yeah, That kid is incredibly talented. I’m a big fan of his. I’ll be honest with you. When he was a boxer, I hated his guts. But I get it now. I know what he was doing. He wanted me to hate him. But I love this kid,” Kurt Angle said. “This kid is so talented. He has picked up on the business quicker than anybody in the history of the business, including myself.
“I have a lot of respect for that kid,” he continued. “It’s amazing how he’s been able to pick up on everything that he’s accomplished, you know as a fighter, as a boxer, as a pro wrestler, as a businessman, this guy is nothing but gold and I have a lot of respect for him and I’m a big fan.”

Angle also spoke about the rumors that Paul is in talks to fight Conor McGregor in a boxing match. Angle said that he’s in favor of Paul trying to be a two-sport athlete, noting that both Paul brothers continue to prove their doubters wrong.
“I think you should dip his toe on both. I’m not against it. I would love to see Logan Paul versus Conor McGregor and Connor is a great standup fighter. He’s a good boxer, but Logan Paul is a pretty exceptional boxer too,” Angle explained. “But if this is just boxing, Logan has a chance. If it was MMA, I understand, but Logan is incredibly talented. He has continued to prove people wrong about him and the same with his brother too. So these two guys are tearing it up and making a big lump sum of money.
“I’m very happy for both of them. And doing it overseas, I believe it’s going to be in India. That’s a great thing to do. I mean, they’re getting exposure,” he added. “Halfway across the world and they’re going to have a lot of Indian fans when they’re done. So, I think this is a great idea and a great concept and hopefully it does occur.”
