CONOR McGREGOR insists he has the power to back up his trash talking and pull off a huge shock against Floyd Mayweather Jr on August 26. It will be the first time the Irish mixed martial arts fighter has ever boxed professionally and five-weight world champion Mayweather is a big betting favourite for the light-middleweight fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

McGregor is a different kind of animal than Floyd physically but that doesnt change the fact that Mayweather boxes his ears off and knocks him out late.
Really? I don't see much of a difference.
Like I said, I expected him to look like prime Arnie the way he was bleating on, but he looked like any other junior middleweight in half decent shape.
Floyd's core is going to be solid, unsure why Conor is fixated with that as Floyd is rock-solid there and has never had any issues with body punches.
Dude just needs to look at his ears and nose in comparison to Floyd's to see who's likely to soak up most of the punches.
Same as your man Roberto Duran.Those are my two favorite fighters of all time.
Yeah, true little big dudes and bad asses.
That's also why PacMan was my favourite in the last era.
Those 3 guys were lil monsters.
I think we underrate how much they were good and got balls, they were fighting much bigger, longer men, Iron was 5'11 wich is Oscar's size, he's even shorter than GGG who isn't even a big MW.
Manny fighting Floyd is just like Chocolatito fighting Crawford 10 years later like Max K stated.
Boxing and MMA will do just fine with either of them winning. It's a circus making a brief appearance that will be leaving town soon.im just ready for the mma to be put in their place. at the end of the day its entertainment just enjoy it and done take it to seriously
Back when uppercuts where actually uppercuts. Not the ones that slightly grazes your nose and slightly move your head upward. I see Billyboxing, you and me have the same faves of all time. Mike Tyson and Roberto Duran.
Interesting. I would also Include Pacquiao and Trinidad. The atmosphere was like something I had never seen before when Duran was making his way to the ring to fight Leonard the first time.
Can't wait until this fight blows over. All this hype for another Floyd Mayweather 12round boxing lesson, against a clear amatuer with sub-par footwork and headmovemt. UFC VS Boxing crossover my a**!

McGregor keeps mentioning Floyd's tiny core and small frame, so much that I expected to see Lou Ferrigno when he came out bare chested at the Brooklyn conference, but he's a skinny streak of piss himself.
I don't see how he thinks he's in any way better built than Floyd. Floyd always comes in in exceptional shape and I expect this time to be no different, it will be a chiseled 154lbs.
McGregor has tiny arms as well, like little sparrow legs.

McGregor is thicker than Floyd, but not really bigger.
McGregor can crack a jaw with small mma gloves so I can understand his confidence, but I don't see how he can think his power will he that good with boxing gloves.
He's just not used to boxing gloves, especially on fight night, sparring ain't sht.
He was hurt or at least stunned against Corley, Judah,Mosley, Maidana and Pacquiao and there are probably a few more that I am missing. As you said, his ability to recover Is second to none, along with having an Iron chin. Unless Floyd forgot 30 years worth of boxing and got old over night, Mcgregor has no chance of winning or hurting him.

The fight of the century ... or not lol. I think many people are just curious as to how good, or bad, McGregor looks in a boxing fight against Mayweather, and if he loses his head and forgets that he's not allowed to kick and use a take-down. But I would think if he does that stupide then not only is it an immediate disqualification, but a large part of his salary will be erased.

No jab, no defence, poor gas tank, slighty average hand speed,throw telegraphed haymakers, questionable heart,little boxing experience
Mcgregor is in for a shock
McGregor is an idiot if he thinks he can hurt Mayweather. Floyd has been in there with guys bigger, stronger, and who hit harder (and for a living). Professional boxers who can clobber people, and yet he's never really hurt in the ring. One or two times, maybe, but his awareness and recovery are second-to-none. If Floyd is in fighting shape for this and takes his opponent seriously, he's going to embarrass this loudmouth moron.
