I wonder if Dana is still game on booking Connor against the winner of GGG vs Canelo after seeing that.

Yes, bigger fighters with a bigger punch who are 2 weight classes above where Floyd fights, would stop McGregor faster than Floyd did. Idk if it's 3 rounds, but before 10 yes. Floyd surprised me with his stoppage, with his weak punching power, brittle hands, fight at 154, 40 years old, and McGregor being 170lbs. Fatigue kicked in and Floyd kicked it up a notch and got the TKO, good for him, I thought he was going to embarrass boxing by "outboxing" Conor in 12 rounds but he came though with the late stoppage.
When Conor will be carried away on a stretcher while in a coma, his fanboys will be saying how he totally landed several great shots on GGG and that he outboxed him.
"Early stoppage"
"He was about to get the second wind"
I agree with this. Conor would get KOed.
At the same time though, McGregor should demand a fight with the winner. It's about $, MMA fighters make way less and have a very short shelf life. Cash in as much as you can now. Conor should fight Paulie who he could beat and then call the winner of GGG vs Canelo out. He could make more in those 2 fights than he could make in 50 MMA fights. He could make $40 million more +. Cash in right now.
TBH, I doubt this floyd lasts longer either.
Floyd hasn't looked all that spectacular in his past 3 fights. He took the Canelo fight at the right time. Because, he appeared to get old overnight after that fight.
Floyd carried him... any current and acive fighter would hurt him. Canelo and GGG are too mean and at the height of their career and would be merciless and go out to seek and destroy and win every second of the fight.
Floyd had to both carry him and make sure the fight went more than a few rounds so he can spew his bulls hit about giving the fans what they want... he was going forward because at not point was he ever in danger.
Hell. Kamegai stops Conor.
