    It's NOT going to happen, blah, blah... yeah, we know. But if you had a "gun to your head" explain how Conor beats Floyd. Serious question, playing devil's advocate, if you're forced to analyse Conor's game, etc... How *could* it happen?

    - What attributes does Conor have, better than Floyd?
    - What has worked in the past vs Floyd that Conor could exploit?
    - What has Floyd not seen before that Conor could surprise with?
    ... etc...
    For me prime pac's style still had the best chance to beat floyd. ( in their era) so if he can somehow replicate that then he has a chance lol

    Relentless energy, dynamic punching, all angle offense that could get thru that guard, foot speed, handspeed , solid chin, champion mentality, critical power.
    But well he fought pac 6 years later and got planked already.

      McGregor can win if he's telepathic and knows what Mayweather will throw before he throws it.

      Another way McGregor can win is if he can increase his speed to abnormal levels. Mayweather's punches will be in slow motion compared to his own.

      A third way McGregor can win is if he bribes someone on Mayweather's team to sabotage him by putting sedatives in his water. But this plan isn't foolproof. Even if Mayweather is sedated to ****** levels, he might still beat McGregor.

        Why does Floyd say that Emanuel Augustus Burton was his most difficult fight of his career?

          Apply relentless pressure. Attack the body early and steadily. Go for the knockout when you see him fatigue.

          The other option is since he is bigger than Floyd, to try and outbox him. Stay on the outside, work from the jab and rarely let Floyd get set. Bait him in and when he tries to come forward unleash hell upon him. Floyd flourishes as the boxer, haven't seen him as the aggressor in a long time. Probably because he is the smaller guy at Welterweight. Wouldn't do too good trying to brawl with a bigger guy who can punch supposedly.

              It's very easy to beat floyd. Just don't let him inject the PEDS and his just a very ordinary boxer.

                Do you disagree that at 5'9 155-170lbs, Mcgregor is bigger than Floyd who is 5'6-5'7 and 147 lbs?

                  Yeah but boxing is not that simple as you're trying to make it as far as "Oh He Is Bigger So He Should Be Able To Do This Or That"...NO!

                  McGregor is not a Professional Boxer for one and no a couple of month of training is not going to get him ready for Mayweather, Speed, Quickness, Reflexes even at 40 years old!

                  How does he attack the Shoulder Roll/Philly Shell Defense? Also McGregor Defense, how does he handles what is being thrown at him? How does he deals with Mayweather's Pull Counter and Lead Rights? He is not going to be ready for none of that because he has never seen any of it!


                  It is NOTHING McGregor does that Mayweather haven't seen before! Mayweather doesn't have great Power, however I do think because of the quickness advantage he can catch McGregor with something he doesn't see coming and that is usually what puts your lights out.

                  Not only that but STAMINA! After miss punches and he will miss MANY OF PUNCHES and he starts to slow and get tired what will McGregor ?

                  From what I'm seeing, McGregor HAS NO DEFENSE or Head Movement on top of that his best striking moments came against some AWFUL STRIKERS:


                  His best chance is to land a lucky punch early like he did vs Jose Aldo and I doubt even that will be enough with 10 Ounce Gloves on and Mayweather likely rolling the steam out of those punches then rolling back with a lead right

                    I didn't. I was giving a game plan for what I would say if a gun was held to my head. Y'know...like the thread says...
