Mayweather would fuck the irishmans world all up boxing or UFC.

1200 foot pounds to the cranium from a UFC glove and he would hear the pipe o callin.

Mayweather has earned the right to dance around and win a technical fight without killing someone or getting dementia.

It's not finalized yet but both fighters seem legitimately interested in making this thing happen.  It would be an insanely popular fight and both fighters would make a fortune.

So, I'm dying to know what the collective wisdom of GD thinks:  Who wins?  Mayweather or McGregor?

This may come as quite a surprise, but if it's a boxing match, Mayweather... if it's an MMA fight... McGregor.

I personally don't think this is gonna happen, but we shall see.

I'll second this.  Mayweather is probably the best pound-for-pound boxer ever.  But boxing has evolved into a boring sport that nobody cares about.

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!

I think GD is confused. The question was who will win a FIGHT.

Not who will win in a footrace.

Mayweather can't win if he can't run.

I don't think Connor gives a shit if he wins or not.  

He has a chance to make as much in one night as he could in his whole UFC career (and he will likely make more in the UFC than anyone before or after for a long time).

He's rich now. Play this fight right and he could be wealthy. A few years ago the guy was on the dole and excited like a little kid about winning a $60k bonus. He's come a long way.

And if he loses, who cares? He lost a boxing match to one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Crazy like a fox.

No way Mayweather would beat Conor in an MMA fight.
Conor would open with kicks, get inside, clinch, take him down to either ground and pound or choke him out. It wouldn't even be close.

That's why this will be a boxing match.

Yes Mayweather is in a whole other class when it comes to boxing. But when Conor fought Diaz he also had to contend with the possibility of kicks and takedowns. He did not want to end up on the ground with Diaz. That changes your gameplan somewhat with distancing and overall fight strategy.

I think this fight will be a little more interesting than people think.
It will definitely showcase the difference between a pure worldclass striker and a worldclass MMA fighter when he is forced to limit the use of all his weapons.

I am not a Mayweather fan, but

in the last 10 years Floyd has beaten:

Manny Pacquiao

Canelo Álvarez

Miguel Cotto

Juan Manuel Márquez

Ricky Hatton

Robert Guerrero

Oscar De La Hoya

Arturo Gatti

Several serious punchers in that crowd, especially Alverez and Cotto. Very hard to even put a glove on Floyd.

Second last KO was a nice punch, but the rest were garbage. McGregor was off-balance and reaching for a lot of them and he keeps his hands too low. He'll be an easy target (punching bag)for Mayweather.

Hes going to bank several times that. He gets at least that for a ufc fight. The only reason he wants to fight Mayweather is for a huge payday. He has a kid on the way and won't be around that long. Kids change you in ways you didn't think possible.

The fact that it's boxing rules, means Mayweather will without a doubt win unless he has an aneurysm between the bell ringing and the first punch.

My theory is that Connor also knows without a doubt he doesn't stand a chance, but also knows he is "fighting" a guy who isn't going to KO him, or even bang him up, in a silly exhibition fight, that nets him $25+MM. So what that he loses? He will still kick the shit out of the next UFC guy he fights, it won't count towards his career MMA record, and he has next to no chance of getting hurt. He has a huge ego, but he also likes loves money. The only people who will talk shit on him for losing the fight will be schmuck MMA groupies who have a hard-on for him already.

Shit, signing up for a special WWE match against John Cena would be just as (if not more) risky, as letting Floyd dance around him counter-punching until the clock runs down.

If that fight can happen, he should be trying to make it happen.
It's a win win for him.
He loses, so what. He can say he's a MMA fighter going against a straighter boxer using his rules.
He lucks up and wins and then he can say he's an MMA fighter that whipped the champ.
Either way his paycheck will be crazy bigger than anything he would make in UFC.

And there's a reason MMA has evolved like it has.  The pure punchers were eventually destroyed by the wrestlers who could get inside of them and turn them into pretzels.  Then the pure wrestlers were eaten alive by the mixed art BJJ guys. Then the BJJ guys were destroyed by the sprawl and brawl guys who could do it all. And now you have to be a pretty balanced puncher, martial artist, wrestler, and BJJ guy to compete even on the under card.  

Specialization has basically turned boxing boring and the fact that you can't be too specialized in MMA is why it's continuing to grow.

I think Floyd will run and Conor will instinctively kick him.

Conor might dizzy Floyd once and send him to the mat, but not being able to jump on him with some ground and pound means Floyd will get back up.

By some miracle, McGregor might catch Floyd with a couple hard punches and KO him in 1, but the more likely outcome is Floyd by unanimous decision.
