Convince me Conor have a chance

[Helm]

How is that so many people here believe that Conor can beat Mayweather, realistically?

Manny Pacquiao, one of the stronger, faster, heavy hitter southpaw in boxing history couldn't beat Mayweather. How can Conor beat Floyd, then?

Maidana, Cotto, Mosley, Hatton, Judah and many other top boxers couldn't beat Mayweather.

WTF you think can Conor realistically do???

Cuz boxing is weird sport. You can make 1 simple mistake and your opponent can knock you out with just one shot. I don't say McGregor is supreme boxer but I asume he won't be so bad at 26th August so anything can happen. We have seen a lot of surprises in this sport.

True. And it will be shameful if moneymays first mistake came from mma fighter

EVERYBODY gots a chance. Sometimes its a great chance, sometimes its a good chance, sometimes its not much of a chance, but EVERYONE has a chance.

Personally I think the deeper the fight goes the less of a chance Conor has cuz he's a front runner & Floyd gets better as the fight goes on. So Conor catching Floyd & hurting him early is key to Conor having any moments in this fight that could translate into him winning. Tiny chance, but he's got one just like everyone else.

Yes, I agree everybody has a chance and anything can happen, but I'm talking about people truly believing Conor has more chances to win that any of the top boxers Floyd fought before. I don't think that's the case.

Floyd is a defensive genius.............against fellow boxers, not MMA fighters. I think the chance that McGregor has is that Floyd can't possibly train for what McGregor is going to do or the style that he is going to bring. When the fight was first announced i thought it was a joke and no contest that Mayweather would win emphatically but the closer it gets, like all mayweather fights, the more i am buying into the hype. Connor is going to bring aggressiveness in abundance (which could also be his undoing) and a style that mayweather has never seen before. I agree that if the fight goes past 5 or 6 Floyd will win either by landslide decision or late knockout but the intriguing part will be the first 4 or so rounds to see if Floyd can work McGregor out or if McGregor can surprise Floyd and land something big.

The world awaits...........

Two Men making big bucks here... Not much else... The fact that Conor has anyone believing that even HE Believes he can or will win is hysterical.

I suppose the only thing you could say is McGregor is unorthodox. Floyd doesn't need to get out of first gear if he's in with an orthodox fighter. So one way you could look at it is Floyd has to kind of process something he really isn't used to.

The problem here is that there's a huge difference between being a world level unorthodox boxer and someone that's unorthodox that doesn't box. I think the awkwardness McGregor brings will be seen as huge flaws, rather than an awkwardness than is beneficial to him and Floyd will have a massive field day with that, but that's just my opinion.

He's been in with Emanuel Augustus who is an unorthodox as you can get and still figured him out after 5. Also this:

During a 2012 interview with boxing expert Dan Rafael, Floyd Mayweather Jr. stated Augustus was the toughest opponent he had faced in his career. - Wikipedia

Conor is just different, not unorthodox.
