damage to outright win. I've seen slippery guys but credit where it is due - he'll throw a few punches with bad intent. That being said, fighting in a boxing ring is different than an MMA pit.

You may be right, MacGregor may tire himself chasing Mayweather and then be in trouble but I think the more likely scenario is that Mayweather runs to survive and maybe mount enough offense not to embarrass himself but it'll end up like his fight with Pacquioa.

(I'd like to see MacGregor make him tap out).

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

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
