I disagree, especially someone like Mayweather. If he gets a hold of Mayweather he'll make him... - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:27 12
- this - although Mayweather is one slippery sob and it'll be damn hard for MacGregor to get close enough -- nm* - decline Feb 17, 06:32
- I don't see him getting close to him often enough and then I see him punching himself out trying to hurt Mayweather. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:30 10
  - Mayweather is as skilled a fighter at evading confrontation and then applying just enough of it, at his choosing to either win on points or do enough - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:41 9
    - That's pretty much exactly how I see the fight going. He'll beat him like he did with Pacquiao. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:47 4
      - It's a weird gimmick. Does he box a horse next? -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:03 3
        
        A kangaroo, obviously. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:07 2
        
        wrestle a bear! -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 07:09 1
        
        I'm busy that day and he's not my type -- nm - RC Bear Attorney Feb 17, 07:15
    - not being a pure fighter I don't see how Conor will have the training to deal with just a boxer. He would always have had the opportunity to kick or - Beaker Feb 17, 06:43 3
      - admittedly, I know more about Mayweather and boxing than I do MacGregor and MMA. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:50
      - it's like a decathlete saying they could win the shot put (or whatever), there is a reason why people who train in more than one sport don't also - Beaker Feb 17, 06:44 1
        
        (but on the flip of that you have Phelps and some swimmers...so who knows!? :) ) -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 06:46
I think he has a real chance to come out on top -- nm - J Feb 17, 05:45 7
- only if he jumps him and takes him to the grounbd' -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 05:54 6
  - Why? He prefers to fight standing up, he is a boxer as well -- nm - J Feb 17, 06:06 5
    - Floyd is a top 5 all-timer at boxing. -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 06:12 4
      - and that's not to say it won't be entertaining. He certainly has the power so one punch could do it -- nm* - Beaker Feb 17, 06:17 3
        
        I think he should fight some other guys before stepping in the ring with the champ. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:49 2
        
        but if he loses no monstrous payday. In a perfect world he would, but I don't think they risk the golden goose -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 06:54 1
        
        That's a good point. Win or lose he gets a fat check with a Mayweather fight. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:00
Yup. He's going to get abused by Mayweather, There's a huge difference between boxing and MMA. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 05:40
Yes it is, but it would also make a lot of people a lot of $$$. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 04:58
