How long does McGreggor last Vs 29 year old Mayweather?

[Redd Foxx]

disagree with this. floyd never showed the ability to take out a bigger fighter in a round, nevermind one with close to 15 lbs on him. i do think he'd be so sharp that mcgregor would realize in a round or less that he had to chance of winning, but connor showed an OK chin for an MMA guy and wouldn't go in a round based on what floyd did in his prime and his relative lack of finishing skills or punching power for an all time great.

I think you're forgetting the fact that Mac has extremely poor defense. A lightning fast, aggressive Mayweather would have a LOT to work with there. Again, I don't think he would necessarily try to get him out in a round, I estimate more like 4. But, if he WANTED to, I believe he could. Connor just doesn't have the defense to keep himself from getting lit up, even against an old, sloppy Mayweather.

Have some of you cats even seen Floyd fight before or do you just not respect Conor?

Cuz you know Floyd hasn't KO'd anyone in 3 rounds or less since Angel Mandredy in 1998 for mfing sakes lmfao. Floyd isn't Tyson you dipsh^ts. Floyd figures you out & takes you out in the mid rounds or 11-1's, 10-2's you.

Something to note about this matchup is that even ten years ago referees were a lot less quick to stop fights on an accumulation of punches; the stoppage we got on Saturday probably wouldn't have been so early in 2007.

With that said, I think young Floyd would dispatch McGregor within 4 or 5 rounds, assuming he fought the Conor who showed up last Saturday.

McGregor won probably the first three rounds but they were also rounds that Mayweather blatantly gave away. A Mayweather that threw more than single digit punches in the first two rounds might have stopped Conor even earlier, at 29 years old or at 40.

We've seen how they both fight now. Younger Floyd was incredibly accurate with his punches and Conor was wide open for them all night. Yeah Floyd probably wouldn't catch him with a one-punch KO but honestly he wouldn't need to, he'd be snapping McGregor's head probably as early as round 3.

When's the last time Mayweather has fought a guy with the defensive vulnerabilities of McGregor? Even Hatton was harder for him to hit.

And Conor was probably the biggest guy Floyd has fought. If Conor came in at 170ish like he said how many guys did Floyd fight that were bigger than 170 on fight night? How many of those guys did Floyd KO in a couple rounds?

And he was more awkward then anyone I recall Floyd fighting. Those are the guys textbook boxers often have trouble with early.

Some of you cats are acting like boxing skills = KO2 vs whoever like nothing else is in play like size, weight, awkwardness & respecting what fighting talent they do have even if its outside of boxing.

Its no wonder even respected cats like Max Kellerman was saying dummy sh^t about this fight like Conor wouldn't land a punch. Idk if that was Max doing some Skip Bayless sh^t, but if he legit thought that he should retire from talking about boxing cuz that was the dumbest thing he's ever said.

Floyd fought Oscar De La Hoya at 154 lb in 2007, pretty close to 29 years old at the time. Maybe Conor was a little bigger than ODLH and certainly Oscar didn't get close to KO'd, but Oscar is also uhhh, significantly better at every aspect of the game than Conor was.

At 29 years old Mayweather probably would not have been touched by Conor. Hell, the Mayweather who fought Andre Berto in 2015 would have been unhittable.

People like to say Floyd is feather-fisted but he hits hard enough to discourage almost everyone he's fought, apart from madmen like Hatton and Maidana, from even attempting punches against him, lest they get countered. The only round I felt Conor had genuine success in (rather than winning a round based on Floyd doing nothing) was round 3 when it looked to me like Mayweather decided to start his offense up. In that round and in some moments in later rounds, yeah Conor avoided taking a significant hit and landed some decent shots against a more open Floyd.

I agree with you that saying Conor would get KO'd in 2 by a younger Floyd is a big stretch. I also don't see how Conor would survive a younger Floyd more than five rounds unless, like this fight, Mayweather chose not to punch in the first two rounds.

Styles make fights. If Floyd fought Conor like he fought Berto Conor does fook all over 12 rounds. If Floyd fought Berto like he did Conor Berto might have actually had a chance in hell of winning & certainly woulda had a highlight reel to put together from that fight from the successes he had even coming up short.

A younger Floyd is for sure faster & that may have played a difference in a earlier stoppage. And I mean that seemed to be the plan as Floyd himself said the plan was to take Conor apart over 6 or 7 rounds & cuz Conor was better than expected 3 or 4 rounds got tacted on extra. \

I don't really disagree younger Floyd makes quicker work of Conor. I mainly got issues with people acting like Floyd is KOing guys left & right early like he's mini Tyson or something. Floyd was never that guy.

Lol with a 154 pound rehydration limit about 4 minutes and 37 seconds

You're talking about Marco Ruas who was one of the VERY few and arguably the first guy who competed in the UFC who actually did more than one thing well.

It was cool at first, I get the appeal but you get to a point where it's just sloppy and dirty as ****. I prefer the PRIDE FC rules to the unified rules that we have today which recently were changed for the better too (that touching the mat thing doesn't class you as a downed opponent anymore).

I'm not only talking about Tank Abbott there were quite a few guys who competed that were Tank Abbott-esque. You had mofos fighting who looked like they thought they were competing in a Street of Rage tournament in real life (Megadrive game).

Im still waiting for this long list of fat beer drinkers I'm supposed to like. Dan Severn, fat beer drinker? Mark Coleman? Vitor Belfort? Ken Shamrock? Gary Goodridge? And I liked the "street of rage" look... the karate guy showing up in his gi to fight the wrestler in his singlet. I much prefer that to both guys looking exactly alike in skin tight booty shorts.

Bottom line for me is that the UFC truly started off "as real as it gets" and is no longer that way

Well Angel Manfredy is 10 times the fighter McGregor is for starters

Secondly, if Mayweather at that age can take out Sharmba Mitchell in 6 rounds then I'm very sure he can take out McGregor in half that time.
