If Conor and Pac fight it'll be the same deal most likely. Anything to avoid accepting that some of these MMA guys can actually box too.
    BS BS BS , Floyd gave him 25lbs on fight night and walked him down in style that is NOT Mayweather, Floyd is a defensive genius and decided to stand flat footed and trodge forward with hands up, never seen from Mayweather in 49 pro fights.

    Put these MMA guys in with a their weight elite boxer and they will get decapitated.

        Maybe because he thought he didnt need to be as defensive as he usually is and wanted to get the finish? and it still took him 10 rounds which is honestly kind of embarrassing. Especially when it wasnt even a full blown KO and there were no knockdowns.

        An MMA fighter will be much more competitive under boxing rules than a boxer will be under MMA rules for the most part.

            There is something stinky about being a current active WC that sours this if it is next.

            I dont think he should lock up the titles like this to fight a sideshow, I dont care that its McTap just not while being an active title holder as deserving guys want a shot at the title.

              He bet big on winning in the 10th they say 5mill was won, lucky he stopped him in the 10th aye .

              The ref stopped the fight as Connor was about to be put down, Floyd is not a puncher against his weight let alone a guy 25lbs bigger.

              Con did have 25lbs and you basically ignore it, thats massive, give prime Floyd 25lbs advantage on fight night against a retired 44 yr old MMA guy in the cage and see what happens id back Floyd to KO them,,,, you dont understand the weight factor in this thats why you see what you see.

              In an MMA fight the boxer still has elite punching that is much harder than MMA guys, in a boxing match the MMA guy does not have elite punching and footwork meaning he has nothing.

              Probably Im not sure but Id say most MMA KOs come from punching not kicking.

                I understand. Floyd did it while 'retired'



                I wish Manny would retire soon and cash out is all I'm saying.

                  What was even more alarming was? How strong Mayweather was in the clinch against Mcgregor. Where was all that jujitsu & wrestling strength? Mayweather was the stronger fighter on the inside physically etc.

                  People in the UFC believe that if you know some jujitsu or wrestling, this automatically makes you solid. 'I had the choice when I was a kid, to ether participate in Karate or Jujitsu and? I chose Karate.

                  Note: Jujitsu is a martial arts that attracts a certain type of personality, it can attract deceptive weasels 'Never liked it'. I have always found that there is a smug arrogance that Jujitsu martial artist have etc
