-Floyd hits hard enough to even prevent guys like Canelo from simply rushing him (Alvarez was likely in the ring on fight night at 170lbs when he fought Floyd).
-Floyd spars guys bigger than Conor, over marathon rounds, and keeps sharp.
-Nate Diaz is a 155lb fighter who fought Conor on 10 days notice; to now try and make him this utter giant is laughable.
Floyd will make Conor pay for every mistake that he makes in the ring, will keep the intelligent pressure on him for the entire fight, and Conor's ability to deal with the receipts will want as he starts to tire.
Floyd will see what Conor's weapons are by the first 1-2 rounds, will have the plan fleshed all the way out by round 4, and then we're going to see how well McGregor's stamina holds up from the fifth round on (15 minutes of ring time); if Conor's stamina starts to fade at any point from then on, McGregor gets done in like Floyd did Ricky Hatton (fatal mistake with exhaustion not really giving him a chance to recover, as the ref/corner saves him on the way down/out).
