He wouldn't look like a fool just because of the trash talk, he would look like a fool because he got bested at what he does best - Which is using his fists to knock people the **** out.
Conor (and his fangirls) wanna say that this is only half a fight... That the result is less meaningful because it's only a "limited form of combat." But what gets lost in all this tomfoolery is that it's a limited form of combat to Conor's advantage. McGregor is still being allowed to use his most dangerous weapons (his fists and punching power, the things he's known for that make up 97-98% of his arsenal), he just doesn't have to watch out for kicks, elbows, knees, takedowns, or any of that other stuff. This time he only has to watch out for punches being thrown his way. You'd think that'd make Floyd an easier opponent to conquer, not a harder one.
So if Conor gets clowned on and loses, no excuses about how Floyd would get killed in a "real fight" because breaking it down, that shouldn't mean anything in this case anyway.
