He is champ at featherweight, 145 lbs. Worked his way through the division and won the title by knocking out long-time champ Jose Aldo in 13 seconds. Aldo was viewed as the greatest featherweight in mma history when Mcgregor fought him. That's what all the hype was about.
He was moving up a division to 155 for the fight with Dos Anjos, but the fight got cancelled due to injury, so McGregor fought Diaz at 170.
For what it's worth, skillwise, McGregor is a much better fighter than Diaz, but you could tell the size difference determined the outcome of that fight. It was the equivalent of Floyd going up to fight someone like Degale at 168. Floyd could be a higher level of fighter, but his punches won't have any effect.
As for Floyd and Connor in a boxing match, speaking as a fan of both fighters, Floyd picks him apart, 12-0, and makes it looks easy. While Connor does have good hand speed and boxing skills, he fights guys who have limited boxing acumen, and in some cases none at all. Mma is full of wrestlers and jiu-jitsu practitioners that only train boxing and kickboxing out of necessity. McGregor may look good against these types of fighters, but against a real boxer (not even Floyd, like a top 10-15 contender) he doesn't fair as well. And if he fights the best boxer in the last 50 years, he will get schooled and possibly stopped late.Last edited by Contra; 05-15-2016, 02:13 PM.Comment

maybe he should KO canelo first after a 6 month training camp, and then do a normal 8-10 week camp for mayweather. i mean, you do think he would KO canelo? dont you? you even said yourself that mcgregor will land a more devastating punch than canelo landed on khan. so it's safe to say that mcgregor > canelo?
and i'll troll all i want, it's all you people do on here. no point in having a serious discussion on this forum these days.Comment

You really think Floyd Mayweather would only "possibly stop him late"?He is champ at featherweight, 145 lbs.

I'd be surprised if McGregor lasted 2 rounds.Comment

If there is any mma guy who ever deserves to fight Floyd he is not punk Mcgregor, he is Nick Diaz. I used to watch mma before boxing and the guy was my favorite. He's a straightforward boxer with bjj. Still love watching him pummel all those mma guys only with his boxing, sometimes he gets robbed.Comment

You'll find that when McGregor steps into the ring, that he's not as fast and powerful as you expected. His punching mechanics aren't that good and he doesn't properly get his body behind his punches. His KO's from the MMA are more from his accuracy and time rather than power.Comment

There are super talented guys who had been boxing for over ten years minimum when they faced Mayweather and still couldn't even touch him come fight night, and yawl think this dude can do it in six months?mcgregor has life altering power in both hands. have you ever seen this mans brutal knockouts??? i think with 6 months of solid training he could do it. look at cm punk training for ufc. it takes time but a great athlete can make the adjustment and that is what mcgregor is.
Lol at you.Comment

Connor has a good chin at his natural weight (which is two pounds below the welterweight limit in boxing and I assume their fight would be at 147) and Floyd doesn't **** like he used to..
Floyd may bust him up over a series of rounds and the corner might stop it (like the Gatti fight) but no, I don't think Floyd will KO him early or anything. I would expect Mayweather-McGregor to resemble the Marquez fight or maybe the Hatton fight.Last edited by Contra; 05-15-2016, 02:15 PM.Comment
