You are silly if you think McGregor has any chance at Mayweather in a square ring go see the Gatti fight. Mayweather will play the cards cause that's how you win sometimes, like in that second fight between McGregor and Diaz..

Dude was RUNNING from Diaz, knowing that round 1 saved his ass at the judges (that and the promotional potential if you're cynical)

Next time Diaz needs to stay away from the chems before walking into the ring, he seemed to kind of wakeup after that ugly first round.

The MMA fighter that really impresses me is Demetrious Johnson, I'd love to see him and a "Floyd in his prime" in a boxing ring.

I'm not a fan of either guy, but to dismiss CM's punching power is a mistake. Mayweather isn't eating the shots like Diaz did, nobody will.You could bounce a bat off his forehead and he'd still be coming forward. Floyd is older, much smaller, and has been inactive for 2 years. For floyd to win it'll take multiple rounds, for cm to win one good shot.

I think DJ is good. I think some is from lack of competition in the weight class. in the we Tim Elliot had him in multiple chokes when they fought. I'd like to see him move up to 135 again. He needs to fight and beat better fighters before putting him at the same level as Anderson Silva or Jon Jones.

No he doesn't, it would be interesting to see them box but with MMA gloves. It's much easier to cover up with boxing gloves too. I hope Floyd beats him, I don't think it gonna be as one sided as people think.
Do you think CM is gonna take a traditional boxing stance or changing stances, sliding in and out, coming in and throwing punches from awkward angles? Should be interesting if it ever happens. He's getting a reported 75 million for the fight, hard to call either a loser really.

If he stands with a wide base karate stance he'll get knocked down. That's not something he wants to do with someone like mayweather who will take him off balance with lateral movement then come in with a couple jabs. It's easy work for a boxer to exploit that stance. There's intricacies to boxings movement that exploits virtually every other stance. I expect a Roy Jones jr. attempted style snatch from Conor. It would fit in with what he does in MMA well, while still allowing him to use a wider than traditional stance and close the distance.

He'll have to adopt a traditional boxing stance or revolutionize the sport of boxing for the first time in over 40 years :), he's got great movement and footwork already shouldn't be problem. He won't be great at it, but the guys proven he's dedicated to winning.

Either way $75 millis? he's done with MMA. Conor doesn't seem like a guy that takes pay cuts he's going all the way up.

obligatory hype song.


and happy 4/20 all

Conor was gassed in his last outing with Diaz, I feel like some of you will see what conditioning really means in a boxing ring.

Floyd would likely get destroyed in a cage with Conor, but Conor is not a boxer on any level anywhere close to the caliber of what is likely one of the greatest we've seen.

Conor hits hard sure but so did how many of Mayweather's opponents? Ask Cotto how easy it is to use that power? Or any of the latest young cats Floyd boxed up from the ropes.

Conor will get those gloves on and slow by a magnitude, Floyd is too fucking fast for that dude, and he has power, that straight right is mean as fuck.

Floyd doesn't "cover" with the gloves much, he rolls and uses his shoulder, my money is on Conor having one hell of a time even hitting the guy, and Conor face looks like a swollen melon and it goes to a decision.

Conditioning in MMA is far better than boxing will ever be. Left hand right hand in boxing that's it and it's with big gloves. Grappling, defending take downs, submissions, carrying someones weight on you in MMA is tiring, getting kicked in the body, legs and arms takes it's toll. Boxing has more rounds but they're shorter rounds with the same 1 minute between them.

We've seen what happens when a boxer fights in MMA.
You could book Mayweather and Pacquiao vs Mcgregor in an MMA fight one at a time he'd beat them both.

dude I feel you, but the Couture / Toney fight was never even fair ... and that comparison is nowhere close to what will happen in a boxing ring with Conor/Floyd.. c'mon now you know better The friggin' fight never even went to hands bro

I already said Floyd would get creamed in there, but McGregor will get tore up in the boxing ring.
