We have heard this all before, various times. But does anyone actually believe that Floyd will take the fight to McGregor in any way or will he be on his bike as usual?
You don't understand fighting. It's advantageous for Floyd to use his distance and range against shorter, stockier and more explosive opponents because they are at a reach disadvantage. A shorter opponents best way of landing punches on a taller and longer opponent is to close distance very quickly and get on the inside. By using movement and range Floyd is able to avoid getting hit by guys with less reach than him.
Conor is a taller and more rangy opponent so Floyd has to close distance on him to make things happen. Floyd won't run but he'll have to use a lot of head movement to avoid being hit by Conor's counters.
Have you ever competed in boxing before? Professionally or Amatuer?
Cautious opening. Followed by various exchanges. Conor starts lunging. Conor gets tired. Conor gets stupid.
THEN Floyd takes it to him and ends the fight.
I don't think it will be competitive or aesthetically enjoyable on any level. Conor will just be missing wildly and get tired and floyd will goof around.
This isn't a legitimate boxing match considering the resumes of the participants, and no amount of hype will change that.
Nope
He will circle and move, outbox him
Conor to save face will then try and get floyd to the cage for a "real fight" but floyd won't
The end

i rather see a boring win for mayweather than mcgregor landing a ko punch :D
Yes! Conor Mcgregor will be most dangerous from mid-long range! From what i have seen? His short punching ability on the inside is not really that good! Floyd Mayweather's plan should be to extinguish Conor Mcgregor's long range shots!
Mcgregor's movement looks quite decent though...
