    Just like a world champion boxer should never lose to an MMA fighter with a negative record.

    Age changes the rules.
    Inactivity changes the rules.
    And yes, alcohol changes the rules if you're older.

    Who was that dude that said, yeah in my late 40's my mitt work was fine but I had zero punch resistance?

    If you think 12-year inactive Oscar would take that uppercut from Conor with no reaction like 2-year inactive Floyd, you really, REALLY don't understand the sport.

          Oscar should win but it wont be dominant and it wont be in 2 rounds either. It could easily go the distance. Once again Conor gets a big payday without his stock dropping too much if he loses because its not an MMA fight, and he gets more time to keep his name out there without having to take risks fighting top challengers at LW or WW in the UFC.

            Hang on your first comment assumes WC is the mark, many world champions were not that good just got the right break from with right opponent.

            Oscar is more than a former WC, he was that fighter thats in that next bunch that are elite fighters touching ATG status.

            You may be right but somehow I have no respect for Connor at all in a boxing ring and Oscar was the real McCoy that laid it all out, Floyd gave him 25lbs and walked him down that just says Connor is as weak as piss in a boxing ring when a little guy like that can out muscle you .

            Oscar is capable of stopping Connor in a couple of rounds he only got to land a good shot.

              Thank you. And that message should be a warning to the once "Golden Boy". Your reflexes will betray you and you will get hit with something that will hurt.

              I don't think Conor wins, I'm just saying that Oscar will struggle. Then we'll have to hear Skip Bayless screaming for a Floyd rematch because Conor "boxed so well" in both fights.

                Yeah definitely i agree, plus i cant imagine oscar has done much training since retiring. He doesn’t seem to keep in shape like floyd does. I dont think McGregor is that good of a boxer i feel like floyd carried him somewhat during that bout.

                  The only way Oscar can win is if McGregor gasses at this point and Oscar gasses himself. Not to mention, Conor was outboxing Floyd for a few rounds.

                    Walking up with his hands on his face, I could out box that Mayweather lol, some of you dont see sht,

                    Connor was no threat at all, none ! Floyd didnt even try to box.

                    How the fck else can a hand frail defensive fighter like Floyd walk down a guy 25lbs bigger, come on hate cant be this blind.
