maybe mcgregor should have just danced around and not throw any punches until say the 5th round like floyd?
he wouldn't have gassed and it would be the same fight...
i would have liked to see floyd walk mcgregor down while he was still fresh....
seems like a ***** made tactic...

This is not a fairy tale.

Take a look at Floyd's thrown punches round by round.
Round 1: 6 punches thrown
Round 2: 10 punches thrown
Round 3: 12 punches thrown
Round 4: 31 punches thrown
Round 5: 26 punches thrown
Round 6: 37 punches thrown
Round 7: 54 punches thrown
Round 8: 48 punches thrown
Round 9: 68 punches thrown
6 punches total thrown in the first round? Come on man he wasn't trying to win that round at all.

I love boxing, but that made boxing look horrible and overrated.
It made boxing look as if it didn't have the best athletes in the world..which it doesn't.

Floyd was rusty in the 1st 2 rounds, it may have been his game plan to let Conor tire by throwing hard shots early, but he also just wasn't getting off. Doubt if it was his plan to only throw 6 punches in round 1. He had a plan to figure McGregor out in the first few rounds and he did. I guarantee Floyd saw Conor start to tire as early as round 2. And he also felt that he had no snap on his punches and knew he was out of danger. Mayweather started walking McGregor down in round 3, he was feeling him weaken, he knew when he was ready to go and he decided to get him out of there in round 9 after the low blow, it just took another minute of round 10 to finish him.
Floyd decided when to end the fight.
