    a shut out is expected for a match up like this so it aint nuthin special. floyd needs to stop conor within 6 rounds, break conor's nose and at least bust up one of conor's eye. anything less than this is an L for floyd, the floyd fans, and boxing as a whole.

      but i thought floyd was suppose to walk manny down late and stop him? now floyd is not known for knockouts?

        I don't know why you quoted me, as I never said Floyd would stop Manny

            he needs to get him out of there really and thats what i think he will do. at the end of the day if he managed to ko hatton hes gonna be able to ko mcgregor, hes not a knockout merchant but theres enough power in his punches for the fight to get called off when it starts becoming target practise. I did say i dindt care who won but tbh mcgrgeor is annoying me even more than mayweatherm so hope mcgregorgets knocked out unconcious or seriously hurt.

              maybe for the simple fact that floyd is suppose to be the best in boxing, and then you have conor, with zero boxing experience. conor making it to see the final bell will be an embarrassment for floyd and boxing.

                Idk about a loss but definitely embarrassing. How do you not ko a guy with no professional let alone any amatuer experience and bad stamina?

                  That would probably be a bigger loss for McGregor's health.

                    The only way I see a stoppage is if McTapOut calls it quits late into the fight, I'm expecting him to gas half way and I'm expecting his lack of character to show. Floyd is too happy to coast. He doesn't care for the sport's reputation because he gets paid anyway. But if this goes to distance and if Floyd is unwilling to try and take him out, then Floyd should be remembered for the harm he did to the sport.

                      First off Floyd is NOT the best of this era, he was the best of his era which was years ago.
                      If he were the best now he'd be fighting Thurman or Spence or go after the biggest pay out with GGG. You see the best welter ever would go after the Middle Weight Champ not an mma guy without boxing bouts or experience.
                      Floyd will most likely go the difference if he thinks that Connor won't "play nice" like Pacman did.

                      This garbage is practically scripted for the pressers and if these two
                      "actors" have the nerve they'll go to the cage after the boxing match. Don't be surprised because there's tons of "fans" that actually buy in to this tripe! Just look at good "ol' Rasting" today everything is a show. The stars must survive to play again!!!

                      Just imagine if Connor was a heavyweight back in the 60's!!!
                      He and Ali wouldn't need to fight they would just travel around "playing" the pressers!!!

                      We have Chocolatito, Lomo, Rigo, Spence, Crawford, Canelo, GGG and more who come to fight as a real champion has always done. Now we have a side show with clowns generating interests with the casual fans who are brought into the side show mentality because it's "shiny"!
                      There's always fans who need the side show antics because the real deal of the competition evades them. Love that Rastlin'.....
