Floyd Mayweather is "f---ing tiny" when you see him in person, according to the UFC President Dana White.

Speaking to YouTube personalities the Nelk Boys, the UFC boss was full of praise for the 26-year-old creator Logan Paul, who recently took part in an exhibition with the former five-weight world champion boxer.

Mayweather and Paul boxed for eight rounds in an unofficial contest with the latter earning praise for his ability to frustrate the legendary fighter.

"Have you ever met Floyd Mayweather in person? He's f---ing tiny, man," White said, according to Boxing Scene.

"He's tiny, and Logan's f---ing big, too. But, I thought he did a good job tying Floyd up, not letting Floyd get off when he was."

White continued: "Floyd looked old that night, too. And I think Floyd knew he looked old that night."

It is unlikely Mayweather will ever fight again - in an official contest, or an exhibition.

"I'm retired from the sport of boxing," said Mayweather in June. "When it's blood, sweat, and tears - you abuse the body a lot.

"As far as me coming back in the sport of boxing, absolutely not. As far as me doing an exhibition again, probably not," he said, later adding, "I made my mark on the sport. I got all my faculties."

Stephen Espinoza, the powerful television executive who has been a partner of Mayweather's for years, said: "Despite everything that I've tried over the last six years, this may be the last time we see him in the ring."

But even though Mayweather may never fight again, he'll always be a key player in the fight game through his talent agency Mayweather Promotions.

Mayweather Promotions represents marquee athletes like Gervonta Davis, while his Las Vegas-based Mayweather Boxing Club which is like a homing beacon for America's top, young, boxing talent.

The 44-year-old is even involved with MMA fighters. He's helping coach Tyron Woodley ahead of the former UFC champion's boxing match against Jake Paul on August 30.

As for Logan Paul, the YouTuber could feasibly return to the showbiz boxing game, and would even seem to welcome a match involving veteran heavyweight Mike Tyson.
