I'm removing Floyd from my top 10 list if he doesn't get the stoppage

The "what if" is powerful in combat sports...it's the best marketing ever, and it's free lol

You hit the nail on the head, absolutely true. I guess It's no different then playing the lottery.

Spence is right but mcgregor has one chance.. To go out there and rush him

What's the over/under on the number of clinches in this fight?

This is an interesting point. It's tough to say. Really depends on how Floyd feels. For example, I think there were about 12 clinches (by floyd) total in the Pacquiao fight. Even less in the Canelo fight. But for Maidana I there were dozens. There were also quite a bit in the Berto fight. I have no idea what numbers are out there though. Considering how big Conor is, we could see a lot if he tries to maul. I'm not sure he will though.

Maybe McGregor didn't show what he could really do when sparring Van Heerden. As long as he prepares as best he can in the less than two months he has left, and be more exciting than Berto or Guerrero were against Mayweather.

Mayweather will take it easy on McG to sell the fight. If he KO's McG to early, it could ruin his fight with Rousey next year.

HaHaHa, excellent! but that is assuming he continues with MMA. He could challenge Lance Armstrong next year and promote it as "bad blood" Lol

He will land on Floyd

Yeah, I mean the question is how close can McGregor get to Mayweather/how close will Mayweather allow him to get, to even initiate a clinch.

But I would bet he'd try a lot of rough stuff in the clinches if he could.

Of course, Mayweather could always get him like he got Ortiz since I doubt McGregor can defend himself that well in/out of clinches.

Probably a minor point to a pointless fight, but still find it somewhat interesting.
