    May-Mac a Non Contest?

    That's never been brought up. What if Conor just say eff it during the fight and just wants to mess up Floyd's prefect record of no loses, no DQs, no NCs?

      I can see Connor getting very physical in there. He's not used to boxing rules which are extremely restrictive vs the mma rules. Mayweather in mma gets bodybagged by any pro fighter even the smallest guys. Connor is a legit tough guy and I can't see him playing by the rules the whole time.

        Legit tough guys rarely talk as much as Conor does. Not to say he's not a high level fighter, but I don't think he's tough to any high degree or anything.

        I mean you wanna see tough in a MMA fighter. Go look at Holly Holm. She will get her lights put out when choked cuz she's tough as f#ck & when you are tough you never quit. You die on your shield.

        Conor has taped out mad quick in 2 of his 3 submission L's (I can't recall the third one, actually his first L, doe so it coulda been quick to idr). Thats not tough when its a choke. Tap out if a bone is gonna be broke cuz that'll keep you outta the cage for months & months & potentially can impact your career long term if its a bad break. Thats just smart business despite some dummies probably saying its ***** to tap there too.

        But a choke, if you are legit tough, is something you get out of or you get your lights turned off. Its the ground game version of going down swinging.

          If he sticks to the rules Mayweather will win by KO. If he cheats Mayweather will win by DQ. Either way C0nor will lose in my opinion and probably the opinion of all boxing fans. I think only MMA fans and general sports fans think Conor can win. I think serious boxing fans expect Mayweather to win with ease.

            I am pretty sure Ellerbe made sure to put in the contract that if Conor does something off the wall then he won't get paid. No one is going to throw away $100 million over pride.

              I don't watch much MMA but their must not be many tough guys In the sport If tapping out from a choke means you are not tough. Every time I have seen a fighter being choked, they tap. I would guess that If this was an MMA fight and Floyd was being choked to the point that he couldn't get out of It he would also tap.

                So a great boxer cant do to a great MMA guy what Connor did to Aldo ?,,,,, think at bout it !

                If a MMA guy gets within punching range of an elite boxer with KO power he can be KOed just like that .

                    Being choked and being punched with boxing gloves seems like two completely different things to me. I have boxed and know what that feels like, but I never participated In MMA to experience what being choked out was all about. I just gather that It Isn't pleasant.
