UFC's Joe Rogan: Mayweather Would F*** Conor McGregor Up!

By Edward Chaykovsky

The rumors of a fantasy fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor have gained so much steam that some sportsbooks have actually opened up betting lines for the fight.

McGregor, the current UFC featherweight champion [145-pounds], is a 20-1 underdog on most lines. Mayweather (49-0, 26KOs), a former five division world champion, retired last September after winning a twelve round decision over Andre Berto.

As ridiculous as the fight sounds, and the unlikelihood that it happens, Mayweather is playing it up with every interview he conducts. He is continuously hinting at the possibility of unretiring for a fight with McGregor.

Mayweather has made it very clear that a fight with McGregor would only take place in a boxing ring. McGregor has played it up as well, like tweeting out a photo of boxing boots and proclaiming that he "runs boxing."

If the fight would ever come together, under traditional boxing rules, UFC commentator Joe Rogan predicts a one-sided beating, with McGregor getting worked over badly for however long it lasts.

"In a boxing match, I can't imagine a world where Floyd Mayweather doesn't f*** him up.  In a boxing match, I think Floyd is arguably the greatest boxer of all time. If you look at his accomplishments, who he's been able to beat, how he shuts everyone's offense down," Rogan said on his podcast.

"He's a more boring version of a lot of what Bernard Hopkins does and he does it in a more slick, skillful way with rapid reflexes and he relies on speed and movement and just a deep, deep, deep understanding of boxing."

"He's just so much better and if people don't know, if you think you're really good and you get in there and you box a guy like that, he will f***ing expose the sh*t out of you. It's a different animal. I can't imagine a world where he's not light years past Conor with boxing skill."
