Re: So Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor might just actually happen

Conor is not stupid. He has said many times the plan is to get in the fight game. Make as much money as possible while taking as little damage as possible then get out. He will make as much in this fight as he would in about 4 U.F.C fights. Its a no brainer really. Saying that i have little to no interest in watching the fight. If it is boxing rules then it will not even be slightly competitive. Boxing is a art, and Floyd is one of the greatest artists ever.

Don't like to feed into the hype about this, as it's such a joke of a proposition.

I've never believed the fight would happen and I still stand by that. Until a venue is announced, the posters are up, promotion is underway, Dana and TMT OK it and the date is a few weeks away I won't change my opinion.

Of course, if it does happen there is only one outcome and I dislike even stating this because it's so obvious.

Lol at anyone thinking Floyd will toy with McGregor.

I can see Mayweather winning, by decision and after running around and hugging the whole time.

He's a smart guy tho, he knows if he were to step in the octagon there's a legit chance he might not make it out alive, so he's sticking with boxing. McGregor will beat his ass regardless of winning or losing.

Not sure if you're a troll or just really, really stupid/deluded. Mcgregor wouldn't stand a chance in a boxing match, anyone that says otherwise is an idiot.

Re: So Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor might just actually happen

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, it's a joke and a mismatch, and I'd rather see McGregor focus on his UFC career and see Floyd fight an actual trained boxer for his 50th if/when he comes back, than see them fight each other.

On the other hand, I have a strange intuition that Conor might shock the world and pull off a gargartuan upset here by knocking Floyd out. Yes, it's absolutely ludricious to even think about - the idea that an MMA fighter, no matter how good their striking is by MMA standards, could walk into another person's sport and defeat one of the greatest to ever do it - it's completely absurd, but that's what would make it such a shocking and historical upset. Boxing needs another really historical upset anyway, there hasn't been one in quite awhile. Conor beating Floyd would rank right up there with the likes of Ali beating Foreman and Douglas beating Tyson. Above them, in fact.

It would be the biggest fight, MMA or Boxing in decades, and the hype would be surreal but Floyd would no doubt win, by decision of course. Would go the distance but only cause Floyd would let it as I'm sure if he wanted to he could and would knock McGregor out or end the fight real early.

Of course Floyd would be a gargantuan favorite. And rightfully so.


But if Conor is able to touch his chin with that left. All it takes is one. Ya never know.
Could say that about any boxer that Mayweather fought. Mosely touched his chin, he didn't fall. PAC man didn't drop him, Hatton, De La Hoya, Marquez, Canelo, etc etc. Floyd money hardly gets touched let alone dropped

I could definitely see Conor try to rattle Floyd like Juddah and Ortiz tried to do.

Get points deducted on purpose with headbutts and low blows ( just no biting :side: ). Then back Floyd into the ropes and bombard him with swings all night. Not like that strategy hasn't been done before, but it's the only shot Conor has.

IMO, I think Floyd wouldn't take Conor seriously at first and Conor would land a wake up blow then Floyd'll play it safe and frustrate Conor with his experience.

Lord, I would mark out if Conor KO'd him though.

I'd be amazed if Conor won or even looked competitive under pro boxing rules. Floyd will dance around and tag him over and over, probably finishes him in the later rounds.

Someone like GGG or Canelo vs Conor would be a hell of a lot shorter and more fun to watch.

Hope it happens and Mcgregor wins, but probably Mayweather would be running around and giving hugs the whole night probably.
You're right. He should stand in the middle of the ring and let Conor hit him.
