It was a flash knockdown and Conor wasn't even stunned. Mayweather had Conor stunned and drunk on the ropes and was going to fall sooner or later. It shows you how gifted boxers are that a flush right by the UFC's number 1 fighter didn't even wobble Conor and a few punches from brittle handed 40 year old Mayweather made him drunk. Even Paulie Malinaggi who everyone likes to make fun of (which is ******, since he's a pro boxer and even being an amateur requires talent) knocks out most of the UFC roster.

He is not the best boxer in the UFC at all. Connor has better stand up game then khabib.The best boxer in the UFC vs the most protected one in boxing (until he retired) at least made some sense. A wrestler vs Floyd really holds no appeal.
Now, if they are allowed to use UFC gloves, instead of boxing gloves, they might rope me in. But a wrestler in padded boxing gloves vs Floyd means a 0% chance of winning even if he lands the perfect punch, so who wants to watch a predetermined sport? In UFC gloves, Khabib's odds go up to 1%, which is at least a chance, so that would make it no longer predetermined, which could make it worth watching. But I'd rather see Floyd-Mcgregor in UFC gloves, or Floyd-Pacquiao II.Comment

Yes, by submission / wrestling, ie. stuff not allowed in boxing. Alledgedly his punching skills are relatively subpar in MMA and would be horribly exposed in boxing. McGregor is a much better puncher and still ultimately got humiliated by an old and out-of-shape Floyd.
Honestly if Floyd's seriously considering it he's doing his legacy no favours by continuing with all these sideshow meme fights after retiring on top of his game, no matter the benefits to his bank account (as if he doesn't already have more money that he can realistically spend in his lifetime)Comment

He also did it with baby gloves the ufc uses. Floyd drops Conor with those gloves too and a fighter like canelo puts him in the hospitalComment
