He wouldn't look like a fool just because of the trash talk, he would look like a fool because he got bested at what he does best - Which is using his fists to knock people the fu*k out.
Conor (and his fangirls) wanna say that this is only half a fight... That the result is less meaningful because it's only a "limited form of combat." But what gets lost in all this tomfoolery is that it's a limited form of combat to Conor's advantage. McGregor is still being allowed to use his most dangerous weapons (his fists and punching power, the things he's known for that make up 97-98% of his arsenal), he just doesn't have to watch out for kicks, elbows, knees, takedowns, or any of that other stuff. This time he only has to watch out for punches being thrown his way. You'd think that'd make Floyd an easier opponent to conquer, not a harder one.
So if Conor gets clowned on and loses, no excuses about how Floyd would get killed in a "real fight" because breaking it down, that shouldn't mean anything in this case anyway.
If he loses it doesn't affect him as much as if Mayweather lost. McGregor managed to come off more arrogant than even Mayweather. Boxing fans will clown him but if he lasts more than 10 seconds, the MMA fans will declare victory
People are already moving the goalposts in that respect. Plenty of people that said Conor will win are now shifting their stance to "If Floyd can't stop a non-boxer in Conor, it's basically a win for McGregor".
People will be trying to claim moral victories when it dawns on them just how out of his depth Conor will be.
lol Hiding behind money, just like a Mayweather fan would. How ironic.
Well, they are birds of a feather. Two classless clowns who couldn't care less about the sport itself. Neither of them have any shame to begin with.
If McGregor makes it to the final bell and makes it competitive then its a moral victory. However I have to agree if he gets his ears boxed off or if he gets KO'd then then you better believe the MMA fans are going to turn their back on him. Joe public loves nothing more then to point out your failures and rub it in your face. All you have to do is take a look at Rhonda Rousey to know that all it takes is one horrid loss to lose all your credibility. I've said it from the beginning that I don't see why this fight had to happen and for Floyd to get #50 in this fashion is a slap in the face to true fans of the sport. These types of events are supposed to be done for charity and the such. Not for 100's of millions and a chance to go down in history as the person to break Marciano's record.

If McNuggets loses, and he will, he'll just go back to his UFC life thinking how much better boxing is and thanking Floyd for his 100M... No worries for him.... He's still going to pile up with a smile...
Sh^t talking isn't reallllllly meant to be taken seriously, but fans almost always take it seriously.
Conor getting in the ring is a W basically for him. Idk that anyone other than a straight Floyd beat down that's quick & easy or Conor quitting like he's done in previous fights gets chalked up as a real L.
That said Floyd in the cage would be in the same realm. Floyd would need minimal accomplishments to get a moral W & all the pressure would be on Conor.
Connor did a bit more than **** talk...I mean he did allot more. You fighting the greatest of all time, be confident and respectful. He said silly things like "Its a one sided fight, his head is small, 4 round KO Easy"
I would be confident and say "I will win" but all that other stuff. Anything less than a 4 round KO, he will look crazy cuz he pushed it so much

T.B.E. makes almost everyone look like a fool. Conor will be no different.
its a win win situation for conor , because he is not really a boxer so he can always go back to what he does best the ufc and another win for him for the big payday he is gonna get , now floyd on the other band if he loses to conor it will tarnish his legacy as the only boxer to get beat by a guy with zero experience and zero fights as a professional boxer
Goddamn boy, did you not read what I said at all?

Connor **** on his sparring partners. He's an arrogant *******. He's expected to lose so in a round about way he won't disappoint. You can't humiliate a guy that is delusional. Humiliation is not part of his reality. He may even congratulate Mayweather but he won't feel humiliated.
Get out of here with this "moral victory" BS. A loss is a loss here for all the reasons I stated.
The difference between Floyd losing in MMA and Conor losing in boxing is that Floyd would lose because he encounters things he isn't trained to be prepared for or counter (kicks, knees, elbows, takedowns, etc.), whereas Conor would be losing simply because Mayweather is far more skilled in where Conor's greatest strength lies in, which is boxing.
Donor will lose because he sucks

Connor talking himself into a multi million dollar payday is a win no matter how the fight turns out. He copied Mayweather's persona and become better at it than Mayweather himself! Connor deserves more respect for his showmanship, it's second to none.
