    I don't think it will be competitive or aesthetically enjoyable on any level. Conor will just be missing wildly and get tired and floyd will goof around.

    This isn't a legitimate boxing match considering the resumes of the participants, and no amount of hype will change that.

      At various points, yes. Will he get into some kind of brawl and slugfest all night long? Of course not, anyone that thinks so is dumb.

        Cautious opening. Followed by various exchanges. Conor starts lunging. Conor gets tired. Conor gets ******.

        THEN Floyd takes it to him and ends the fight.

          I think he will approach this like the Ortiz fight.

          Walk him down in spots, box in spots.

          Touch with the jab, straight right. Body, head.

A shorter opponents best way of landing punches on a taller and longer opponent is to close distance very quickly and get on the inside. By using movement and range Floyd is able to avoid getting hit by guys with less reach than him.

            Conor is a taller and more rangy opponent so Floyd has to close distance on him to make things happen. Floyd won't run but he'll have to use a lot of head movement to avoid being hit by Conor's counters.
            Have you ever competed in boxing before? Professionally or Amatuer?
