MMA has evolved big time from those days. Mcgregor is a totally different fighter to what Mercer faced. Mcgregor is a phenomenal stand up fighter with average wrestling. He'd brutalise Mayweathers legs from the off and there would be **** all Mayweather could do about it. Mcgregor would not engage with Mayweather at Mayweathers range. He'd kick the absolute life out of him before taking him down. He might even end it via kicks alone.
And the best stand up MMA guys are very mobile due to having to adopt a lighter stance.. They have to be way more mobile than boxers due to having to evade take downs and kicks. Mcgregor is very springy on his feet when fighting MMA. If he can evade take downs and kicks in MMA then he can evade Floyd's punches while delivering kicks of his own outside Floyds range which Floyd won't know how to deal with. It's a very easy win for Mcgregor in the Octagon. ****, Mcgregor had some success evading Floyd's shots at punching range ffs. At kicking range Floyd is absolutely fuvked. He'd get wasted.
