Geez, Conor walks around at what..175? 180 even? If he can take a few Pac jabs without wobbling, he'd have too much of an arsenal for Pac to deal with.
A great puncher will still get beaten by someone who can punch, kick and take down, especially when they are giving up 20 or 30 pounds easy.
I would give the edge to McGregor in a street fight. Pacquiao is much better with his fists of course. McGregor has perfected kicks, elbows, knees and fighting on the ground in addition to decent boxing skills and good punching power. Pacquiao doesn't have these weapons and is not used to defending against them. If Pacquiao can land a KO punch first then he wins. If McGregor gets a good two handed grip on Pacquiao he can probably take Pacquiao to the ground. On the ground McGregor is at home while Pacquiao is not.
Manny strikes me as someone who would be terrible in a street fight. No inside game, no prior wrestling experience or anything. On top of that McGregor is much bigger.
