If you're fighting one of the best ever your skills need to be doing more than "improving"

That about says it all!

Well McGregor's boxing skills couldn't possibly get worse.

Beat me to it.

His boxing skills wont matter IMO. He's gonna rush at Floyd throwing wild punches once that bell rings and everything he learned will go out the window.

Probably up to the level of a local Golden Gloves 5th place in his weight division level. I would bet there are a ton of 154 lb teenage golden glove boxers who would light McGregor up right now.

Dude has 6 weeks left to get ready.

Of course they are going to improve but enough in 40 something days for Floyd? Eh...

Improving, going well.

In other words: i'm trying but he still sucks.

That's a good thing. As Andre Ward suggested, stay awkward Conor. His best chance is fighting very "strange" and different from conventional boxers. That's his best shot at landing something meaningful.

I expect first few rounds to be like Maidana 1 tbh with McG just running at him and throwing at all times. Floyd defends and focuses in body punching to gas Conor and possibly press the stoppage later on
