Yeah course he does
I mean we all know he won't.
But what's he thinking? I wud imagine he's rationalising it like this. Floyd not TRULY knocked anyone out since 1999. He's 100% reliant on his defence. Avoiding punches in order to frustrate and expose the opponent and hit em with the odd jab and out point them
Conor is gonna go in with the same mentality maidana and pac had. Where they (yes yes maybe wrongly) believed and I mean genuinely believed that if they just went for it like mad then eventually over 36 minutes of boxing hey wud put this guy to sleep. Sure, pax didn't no anything but this wud have been his thinking all those years he was gunning for the fight and maidana almost pulled it off (tho respect for floyd for fighting him twice and coming out better - still think maidana had him in the first one tho in all honesty)
So why the hell wouldn't Conor believe the same thing? He's that kind of fighter after all. I mean I know he can't hold his hands up cos he DKSAB but is floyd the kind of guy who's gonna come at him? No way, it might just be a 1% chance but there's a chance
