Yea, by MMA strikers. There is a HUGE difference in skill between the best MMA strikers and one of the best pure boxers to ever get in the ring. He does not knock people out anymore. He out points them by being evasive and scoring when he can counter punch. Conor will be a good target for counter punching but Mayweather has never been a threat to just demolish people ever in his entire career (Tyson and the bigger boxers were always looking to drop you) |

Well gang it looks like I'm alone again. Connor is a natural fighter. His punches feel like a train hit you. He can knock you out with just 1 punch. He just beat a man that was much bigger than him. He knocked out somebody when he was moving backwards. He's quick. He has skills that you and I can only dream about. He uses the biggest muscle in his whole body to beat you...................... his brain. Mayweather is 40 years old. That is OLD for a boxer. You can't cheat time. Sure he was great in the day.................. but now he only wants to get paid. Listening to all the commentators and boxing coaches pick Mayweather hands down. Bla Bla Bla. They're boxing. Rules. Etc. I can guarantee you that not one of them has been in a real fight. When I was younger I got into a fight a week. I got my ass kicked plenty of times. You can see it in their eyes before 1 punch is thrown. Mayweather's opponents all say he hits like a stinging bee. Not individually hard, but after an accumulation they add up. His focus has always been the counter. Back in the day, sure, he could dance & weave & stay outta harms way. He was viciously fast. He could hit you 5 times before you took your next breath. He won't get the chance to counter a lot with Connor today. Conner can rock your world with 1 punch. He proved he can take a punch too with Diaz. I haven't seen Mayweather punch anybody in quite awhile. When the bell rings.................. Mayweather will get his head handed to him, and he knows it. Look at his interviews & focus on his eyes, forget the words. He won't be able to back up fast enough. He can talk a good game. Conner can talk too. This fight will bring in plenty of $$. The hype will outshine anything we've seen before. Forget the Rousey BS................... Bottom line: It's gonna be fun. Either way, it will be very entertaining.  Don't spend any $$. Just torrent it the next day or watch it on Kodi. I'll say Conner in 2!  I wonder what the odds will be in Vegas. I'll take that PPV $$ & put some down! |

They're boxing, Mayweather has this all locked up. Mayweather will stay on his game and box McGregor and the most interesting outcome is that McGregor gets his ass kicked. I want to see that less than I want to see X amount of rounds of Mayweather not getting hit.

He'd let McGregor swing away and land a counter punch every single time. |

How is this a question? McGregor isn't a boxer. Mayweather is one of the best pure boxers in history. He's not a fighter. He's extraordinarily effective on defense, and his counter ability is why he's undefeated. Mayweather always fights smart against stronger opponents, which I don't really think McGregor would be.
They are almost identical in size - McGregor has a two-inch reach advantage (this isn't Buster Douglas and his 12 inch advantage over Tyson) and maybe 10 pounds over Mayweather's last fighting weight. I am pretty sure the fact that McGregor isn't a boxer is going to make all the difference. But whatever, this is GD, so the vote will probably be Bruce Lee. |

I don't see how Floyd would agree to a real sanctioned boxing match. No sanctioning organization wants to be responsible for the brain damage Conor is going to receive. The only people who think Conor has a chance are people who have no clue about the huge difference between MMA striking and boxing. In MMA you're a freaking GOD if you can put together a 3 punch combination consistently. In boxing 6+ punch combinations are the norm.

After thinking about this more, doing this fight is a colossal mistake for McGregor. He's fighting Mayweather on his terms, in his ring, with his rules. Mayweather has every advantage even without being a world class boxer. McGregor's aggressive style would play right into Mayweather strengths. There's no contest here, literally the only upside for McGregor is the paycheck, but he has so much to lose. He's built his career on bravado and trash talking then backing it up in the ring.
Getting embarrassed by Mayweather slipping his punches round after round, with the real possibility of getting KO'd, could be more damaging than any amount of money he'd make off it. If his confidence is shaken it could be the end of his career and any future earnings. Look at what happened to Ronda Rousey. She started believing her own hype and it ruined her career. |

I'm confused about people thinking Conor has a chance in a boxing ring with boxing rules.
Pacman is a great fighter in his own right. And even he couldn't hit Money. Money is pound for pound, one of the best fighters in the history of boxing. Conor might have a chance against a run of the mill boxer, but not against a world class boxer. Conor would kill Money in the Octagon, but a boxing ring with 12 rounds is a whole different story. |

This is so fucking stupid. Mcgregor's gonna be a punching bag. Boxing gloves are gonna make it worse, because he's going to be able to absorb a ridiculous amount of shots before he finally can't stand up. No MMA flash KO's, this will be 300 minor concussions accumulating over a period of about 8 minutes until he ringside doctor says "holy shit, this guy's gonna die."

Someone posted this in another thread, but I like the idea. Make it a 5 round bout, with the first three rounds being standard boxing rules...the last two rounds will be MMA style, no gloves. It forces Mayweather to not play defense for three rounds, and makes things very interesting if McGregor makes it to the 4th.
I'd pay to see that. |

Against a young, hard hitting, southpaw which Mayweather always has problems with. McGregor with the upset. Floyd wouldn't even get touched. He would dance and counter all day. After 3-5 round Connor would blow his load and then a KO would follow soon. What fight of Floyds on scorecards was close? Boxing is about scoring points and winning ROUNDS. This isnt 1920. Just like the golovkin fight this past week. He threw less but landed more. That's boxing. Same would happen and a couple knockdowns im sure if not a KO BOXING IS NOT MMA |

McGregor disqualified within seconds of the knee coming up or round house kick. One is a boxer and one is a brawler. Natural instincts kick in with McGregor and Mayweather is down. Fight is called. This is a meh fight. I rather see it MMA rules.

Boxing used to be respectable, now its 140 pound short guys slapping each other trying to score points instead of knock the other out. |
