Seriously....
Some of you think that Floyd can't stop McGregor in a boxing match....
Some of you ACTUALLY think McGregor would go 12 rounds...
This is unbelievable....and you consider yourselves boxing fans...
Conor isn't even the best MMA fighter in the world but he could go 12 rounds with the #1 P4P boxer...smh....
McGregors boxing and movement is good when compared to an mma fighter but its is awful when compared to a boxer I struggle to see how anybody can see it differently, this isnt an insult to McGregor either hes an mma fighter not a boxer so he has to learn more skills so its unreasonable to expect anything different. This fight aint happening either for all McGregors talk no way is the ufc going to allow there most marketable fighter to get owned by Mayweather all it is is free marketing for the ufc and Mayweather promotions nothing more.
My man.....I AGREE!
Some of these idiots actually think that in a sanctioned boxing match between the two fighters would go the distance....
They obviously don't understand the parameters as it relates to being the absolute top boxer in the world.

This would be Floyd - Hatton all over again.
Floyd should fight a real boxer like Thurman or Spence.
I agree....
But certain posters think that in a real boxing match Floyd couldn't stop McGregro via TKO.
Lol Floyd will stop him in 7. The dude McGregor gases in two 5 minute rounds, so about 10 minutes. In boxing, thats about round 3-4. By the time he gets to round 5 Floyd will be punishing this boy.
I like Mcgregor too because he fights standing up, instead of all the wrestling stuff, but you gotta be realistic
Look at Conor's competition! None of them have a smidgen of the skill from a boxing standpoint that Floyd has.
I agree but in mma you have to be weary for so much shit, they gotta worry about getting a spinning elbow, getting taken down and getting clinched up against the cage and getting kneed.
In boxing, the clinches are separated and the only thing that can happen is getting caught by a punch.
Conor is better at standup than anything else, thats why I think he could survive and maybe hit floyd.
That's bull sh1t. McGregor would last the whole 12 rounds in a boxing match. They don't call MMA fighters tough as nails for no reason.
Now in the octagon I can guarantee McGregor puts Floyd to sleep in 1 round
Thats why the ones that try to crossover to boxing get flogged and the ones that cant make it in boxing do well in MMA , there has been only one or two in MMA or kickboxings history that made it big in boxing and none were ever P4P best fighters in the sport .
Nobody gives a fck what they can do to a boxer under their rules , a F1 race cant do what a rally car can do but we all know which is on top of the performance tree , boxing is purity with a great history MMA is a side show in a plastic coated world .
I think it would be a 12 round fight and Conor is much better than people wanna give him credit for. His chin is good for someone taking shots in 4oz gloves. the 12 oz gloves that mayweather uses won't help when Conor has an equal reach advantage, to me thats a big deal seeing that Mayweather always had the longer reach.
Conor's movement is also underrated.

Two different sports. Not sure why anyone thinks McGregor would have a prayer against any real boxer. Nor would Floyd would have a chance against a champion mixed martial artist.
Purely boxing but in a fight he might stop him but Conor has been hit WAAAY harder than Floyd hits, Floyd is a manlet in comparison to Conor 5ft7 he weighs about 150 something on fight night whereas Conor is probably at 180?
If Floyd has the balls like I said he'd allow everything but wrestling on the ground and kicks lets see how well Floyd can box with a MMA fighter being allowed to use the tactics that are illegal in boxing that Floyd uses ANYWAY!!
Inside clinch fighting
Clamping arms and hitting
Elbowing
Pushing off with your forearm
Lets see how well Floyd can deal with it when its allowed for both opponents!
I agree that Conor would get him if all of that was allowed but in a straight up boxing match Conor wouldn't last 12 rounds...no way...he hasn't sparred with anyone of Floyd's caliber....
An MMA fight is a different story. But you guys are saying that Floyd wouldn't be able to stop McGregor in a Boxing match. Conor is the one who says he wants to box. Floyd never said he wanted to do an MMA match. Plus, Floyd is the A-side no question and Conor is no where near his status. Floyd has been in a combat sport for over 20 years so I doubt he's 'scared' as you put it. Just makes no sense for the best boxer in the world to challenge a top tier but far from the greatest MMA fighter.

The idea of Floyd stopping anyone anymore is beyond comprehensible to a lot of ppl but realisticly thinking, he certainly can. Maybe won't KO Conor but he could "Gatti" him.
Without question. Some of these guys think that Conor's boxing ability is on the level of Floyds....hahaha...like seriously....
Floyd Mayweather should be a man and challenge Conor McGregor to a fight that allows elbows, forearms, dirty inside boxing just basically all the upper punching ability that should be the rules If it is allowed to happen but Floyd is a coward remember Floyd has made a career of using his forearms, elbows and clinching inside so why can't he offer Conor that?
SCARED!!
He knows Conor would absolutely murk him

MMA fighters don't have half the punching technique that Floyd Mayweather does. He would hit McGregor with sharp, hard punches he has never felt before. No way McGregor takes 12 rounds of that, even from old Mayweather.
Nor do they need that punching technique two entirely different sports one is more linear which is the gods honest truth about boxing MMA is a jack of all trade, there is no way would Floyd Vs Conor happen with Floyd allowing Conor to inside fight it would be a terrible idea, Conor would absolutely destroy him inside the clinch.

Floyd might make him quit late from fatigue. There is no way Floyd is icing him early or midfight. Conor is a warrior and will hang on.
There are plenty of warriors who've been stopped. You are overrating his chin... He's not even the best MMA fighter in the world and you think he isn't easy money for the best boxer in the sport....smh....
