    That's not to say that Floyd won't account for that, but it affects things, it's something new for Floyd.
    Hyperbole? I'll repeat it again. Floyd's ability to move his body into and out of position will be two or three or four times faster than Conor McGregor even though he is 40 and McGregor is a young man in his prime.

    Floyd's superior knowledge of footwork fundamentals combined with his unconscious, instinctive familiarity - I.E. economy of motion within a boxing ring and how to navigate in it and his natural superiority athletically will result in that kind of separation.

    You can't tell me a ****ing thing, boy.

Floyd grew up in a gym, his father is a world champion and uncle a 2 weight world champion. There's the lucky punch chance, and that's about it. Boxing, like any other MA, is an art, and mastering it isn't something that happens with just a few years of experience. Even if there was no raw footage and McGregor was doing well with CVN, Floyd would completely toy with him too. You seem to wa t answers, but are getting upset that they aren't the answers you want to hear.

        You don't think Floyd is already working with guys with a longer reach to make up for it? The guy is a total professional, he takes NO ONE lightly, not even a guy who's not a professional boxer.

            Mayweather throws a 1-2 and breaks both his hands on McGregors head and when the ref is looking the other way to call time, with Mayweather hunched over in agony, McGregor kicks him in the balls. In which case Mayweather only wins by decision.

            I got nothing.

                If you got a gun to your head and you must beat Floyd, KO the gun man and use his gun.

                  I'm an MMA guy, and I'm well aware that McGregor will be out of his element. I concede that Floyd is most likely to beat Conor (probably the 5th RD), but I want to discuss the POSSIBLE way that Conor may beat Floyd. What would be/should be the plan of attack if you're coming from the McGregor side? (that's the point here, and to debate that).

                    I understand that you want to debate it, that's fine, but it's 5 pages of most giving examples, or telling you it won't happen. You're looking for an unanswerable question. Castillo came close, but McGregor isn't Castillo, nor even close to him. Maidana did well, but once again...McGregor is no maidana, nor close and he sure as hell is no Miguel Cotto. The debate is rather pointless now.

                      P.S.

                      There are BJJ Champs who became MMA Champs
                      There are Kickboxing Champs who became MMA Champs
                      There are Wrestling Olympians who became MMA Champs
                      There are Boxing Champs who became MMA Champs

                      And there are even more who are elite/Championship Contenders in MMA who were also elite in other sports.

                      Now, they may not have do it in their first fight in the new sport, BUT the idea that one individual COULD BE elite in two combat sports is NOT unheard of. An MMA guy crossing over to Boxing (at the elite level)... let see what happens.
