    How do you out-think the greatest mind in the sport of boxing? You don't. In fact, McGregor's best chance may be to stop thinking. You see, Mayweather expects his opponents to have plans. But what if McGregor himself doesn't know what the hell he's going to do? What if the bell rings and he goes completely apeshit? That's what he must do. Floyd only knows how to fight humans. You've got to be a lion, or a wildebeest.

      And if McGregor has any success at all, how bad would that make Floyd's recent opponents look? In particular Manny & Canelo? Manny and Canelo will be first ballot hall of famers, and in a combined 24 rounds against Floyd they barely touched him.

          I've said this before and I'll say it again: Floyd better annihilate this dude. And I don't care if you're a faithful longtime Floyd hater or not, if you're a fan of the sport first -- everyone of y'all better be rooting for a complete paint job in Floyd's favor.

          Because of this f**king guy is even remotely competitive with Floyd, then it damages an already maligned sport that much more. And God forbid the guy hits the home run of all home runs and beats the 0.00000000000000000000000001% odds...because if he did the sport of boxing would be dead as we know it. It would never recover.

                His only chance is to throw caution to the wind and just let his hands go hoping he lands a big one, Connor is a lot bigger he needs to use that size with aggression, he has no chance trying to box with Mayweather.

                  The last thing he wants to do is box... fight dirty and make it a street fight... hopefully he just goes for it

                    His plan is to show up and collect a check...the end. He has no chance and best to go in wild unpredictable with haymakers like a crude Mayorga and pray to land something. Even UFC fighters/analysts are saying he has no shot at winning. This fight will open up in vegas him being a bigger underdog then Berto was.

                      I once saw a guy at a national amateur event win three fights by fighting in a way that could best be described as a kangaroo meets gazelle. Employing tactics such as double fisted jabs. Jumping and punching down.
                      It confused the **** out of everyone including the refs.
                      Now obviously Mayweather as serious ring IQ but if Connor does something bat **** crazy might take a few rounds and maybe if he has enough bat **** crazy ideas who knows.
