What's with the notion that we should root for Floyd just because he's a boxer?

    This logic is as backwards as it could possibly get.

    It's not two men putting gloves on is it it's an undefeated ATG Legend against a guy with NO fights Amateur or Professional. How can you not see how badly that will effect our sport if he loses.

    Conor McGregor has no respect for our sport. Claims it isn't fighting. Claims it's "easy"

    If he wins this fight he will be laughing at all of us and you think that's just a none issue.

      That only makes our sport look legitimate.

      Conor would then leave our sport talking about how easy boxing is as a sport.
      But what are you really saing?

        it would mean he had amazing talent to crossover the sports. it wouldnt mean that boxing is somehow 'exposed' as a joke, its a sport that consists of top athletes just as every other sport. I couldnt care less if mayweather loses,it would make mcgregor a legend rather than destroy boxing. And the gloating from some UFC fans would be annoying, but the tears from mayweather fans would be something to behold lol

              You'd be happy about that for some reason.
              If you really think about it, it's not just Floyd's legacy on the line. It's the legacy all the previous ATGs in this sport going as far back as SRR and even further.

              Conor beating Floyd would invalidate the entire history of boxing. The Ali - Frazier rivalry, Hagler - Hearns, Duran-Leonard et al. Not only that, it would be the biggest upset in boxing history.

              You'll never hear the end of it from MMA fans. If by some miracle it happens Boxing would become a running joke, a punchline.

                If Floyd loses, then Pacquiao will really get the last laugh.

                    It really doesn't matter who you or anyone else roots for. Mayweather and Conor will decide who wins this fight and all the rooters for one man or the other won't change that.

                      No it would mean a literal novice walks into our sport, disrespects our sport by calling it not real fighting and "easy" and beats one of the top guys in the sport and thw fighter of his era.

                      Delegitimises the likes of Pacquaio, Cotto, De La Hoya, Canelo the list goes on and on of world class, life long boxers who couldn't.

                      Literally makes our sport a laughing stock and a joke.
