This is what I love. This is how the majority is thinking. But Connor is the bigger guy, has the bigger reach, is a very smart fighter in his own right and Floyd will be 40 years old.Lmfao.... go into the MMA thread and you'll see I've always been a big fan of Conor.
From very early in his UFC run.
But he's got no f**king chance vs Floyd.
He has a punchers chance... but against the greatest defensive fighter of our generation in Floyd a punchers chance is practically no chance.
I'm certainly not paying for it... the best part of the whole fight will be the build up and the press conferences etc...
And all that will be free...

I wouldn't be shocked at all if Conor gets a KO in the opening rounds.
It is possible for McGregor but in the same vein it's possible for every fighter that had a shot against PBF - you'd have to hope he makes an error and you'd have to take full advantage of that.
People talk about Floyd like he can't actually box and can only defend - he's knocked out 26 people in 49 career fights. If McGregor leads with the chin, he's out before it begins.
Some of the people Mayweather has beaten:
Oscar De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
Sugar Shane Mosley
Juan Manuel Marquez
Miguel Cotto
Saul Alvarez
Manny Pacquiao
All of whom are better boxers than McGregor.
Hmm... you talk up Floyds ability to KO people...
And you put up a list where he stopped only Hatton.
It's highly unlikely Floyd will KO Conor. Conor's chin has been tested with 4 ounce gloves...
Floyd ain't going to hurt him with 10 ounce ones...
It's why I think this is so exciting. Conor brings a unique style and with nothing to lose, im positive he will hunt for the KO and this won't be a bore fest like the Pacquiao fight.
if they were in the octagon it wouldn't last very long.I wouldn't be surprised if Connor does something crazy to try and get in Mayweathers head, like busting out a double leg. Frankly, he will need every bit of help he can get, because he is not going to get into many exchanges based on Floyds style, experience and skillset.
One thing MMA fans should take into account though, is that this is being fought under boxing rules....because if Floyd stepped into the cage; he's not making out of the first round.
The last time Floyd knocked out anybody without sucker punching them Bill Clinton was in the Whitehouse.Floyd to knock him out in about the 6th
