How's Floyd going to finish him?

[IronDanHamza]

Floyd will finish the fight with a 12 round UD and many people, including boxing fans, will act surprised...except for me because I know McGregor can take a punch and Floyd can't punch especially not at 154

You could be right.

But I think you may be overestimating Conor's ability to do 12 3 minute rounds.

[Kid Blackie]

Lmao McQuiter is going to become boxing's best joke for years to come...

I wonder if that GGG guy is going to off himself when he quits. He'll be just like his hero...

Floyd hasn't gone for the KO in ages. Even when he has the upper hand and is clearly superior (Marquez, Mosley, Guerrero), he refuses to go for it. There's no evidence, aside form the Hatton fight 10 years ago, that points me to Floyd being a good finisher or someone who will step on the gas when he has an opponent hurt. Contrary to what other fighters do, Floyd actually backs off when he has an opponent hurt, one of the weirdest things i've seen a top boxer do. Backs off to continue "outboxing" his opponent and win by 12 rounds even after hurting or stunning his opponent.

Floyd will outbox and stun McGregor, maybe hurt him, and then back off out of fear to get hit with some couterpunch by a desperate McGregor. He will do this all night.

Con is not as dangerous as any of them, that's why Floyd will go for it. And everybody that has fought Floyd said he punches hard, Mosley said the guys he has fought have world class chins and Con has never been hit as sharp and as clean as what Floyd will hit him with.

I honestly dont know. If floyd really just comes out super aggressiv he might even stop him early. I think he will make him miss first, figure him out , then beat him into submission and conor either quits or gets stopped around the 6-9th round

Not as dangerous?

Not as skilled, or not better than them in boxing, I agree.

But not as dangerous, meaning power...McGregor is naturally the biggest fighter Floyd will ever face. He's fought at the 170lb weight class in UFC, and is currently the 155lb champion. McGregor's size is only rivaled by Canelo, and McGregor will be bigger than Canelo was in the Floyd fight.

Am I saying Conor is going to win? Helllll no, i'm saying the least Conor could do is take a punch from a 40 year old, weak, brittle hands, can't KO a lightweight coming up 2 weight classes, welterweight like Floyd Mayweather.

Conor with his size, is the least he can do.

I'd like Floyd to surprise me, and make the sport of boxing look superior...that a 40 year old retired boxer can KO a bigger, younger, superstar of MMA in a boxing match. I'd love that, but I waited for a legit Floyd KO from 2009 to 2015 and never saw one and I don't see how this old ass Floyd will give me one.

Not as dangerous because he cant land as skillfully as those others can hit and will be very lucky to hit Floyd with anything clean and hard, be a lot of grazing rabbit punches and backhands.

You are underestimating that Floyd is the real deal he is not outa shape Pauli who went 12 rounds with Con and Pauli was stopped by a D grade guy in his last fight.
Both guys that are boxers that have been in with Con says he don't hit hard at all, I believe them as he don't turn his fist over and punches with his arms.
The MMA guys he stopped were wide open and don't have chins like elite boxers have.

Your buying into the Con hype Kev.

I definitely see your point and agree Floyd has no killer instinct now.

But, the guys you mention that he's fought are elite top level boxers and most never stopped before when he fought them.

McGregor doesn't even know how to box, I think when the gulf is that big then a stoppage is likely.

I don't see it going 12.

All that bulk will just get him tires quicker.

I see him gasping for air by the 5th. He doesn't know how to survive in boxing, or defend himself. Or anything for that matter. He barely knows how to throw punches.

Tko after he gasses. Rounds 4-6.
