Will go all the way and Floyd will win it on points. Mostly because he spent that last few years of his career successfully avoiding being knocked out by the world's most elite boxers across several weight divisions and outpointing them because that was his safest strategy. If he doesn't stop McGregor it's because he's toying with him or there's some dodgy shit going on to stage some version of a contest for 12 rounds. And there's another point. Is this 12 rounds? If it is then McGregor has never done that either. He was pretty shit when Diaz dragged him into the late rounds in the octagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 For all of those who are saying it's just an exhibition fight can I please ask you all to take a minute to remember the horrors that were inflicted on us when Apollo Creed fought Ivan Drago in what was supposed to be an exhibition fight.

dogmc Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 This fight [emoji110]️[emoji97] [emoji110]️[emoji97] Thing is will it be a 'fight' or a staged 'sporting entertainment event'.....would mayweather genuinely drop him first chance he gets....or will he drag it out for commercial reasons? ?

The Grass Is Greener. Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Conor has already won, he's talked his way to the biggest pay day of his life. Can't believe how many people he's actually fooled to make this fight happen. I doubt he actually thinks he can win, doubt he actually cares either. He'll be chasing shadows for 12 rounds or until Money knocks him out. I'm a McGregor fan but it's staggering how many people think he's got a chance. How do his odds (4/1) compare to actual boxers that Mayweather has faced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do his odds (4/1) compare to actual boxers that Mayweather has faced? I don't profess to know much about either sport or fighter and I'm very much just a casual fan but I'd assume the odds would be smaller than they probably should be at the bookies due to the number of people who will throw 10s and 20s on McGregor.For what it's worth I think it will be fought as a legitimate contest although I fully expect Mayweather to win. As said by another poster though any puncher has a chance so Conor could land one on him but that's his only chance.Conor really can't lose (unless badly injured). If he somehow flukes a win he will no doubt call himself the best of all time and if he loses then he's far richer than he was this time last week and he'll be able to walk back into MMA and command far more money than he has before. I've never paid for a fight but I will for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ? What's wrong with comparing him to when he got punched about from an amateur slugger in Nate Diaz ? Mayweather will punch him about as well.

He spars regularly with Andre Ward. And having said that, Conor absolutely lit him up on the feet in both fights - until his gas tank failed. Conor just doesn't have good cardio. That will absolutely count against him in the later rounds against Floyd but it won't affect him for the first 4 rounds or so. Neither are close to Mayweather in boxing skill, however.

I clearly meant he's an amateur boxer (at best) as is Conor. Have you seen his latest sparring session against a pro boxer ? LOL. My point was that although Mayweather hasn't knocked out anybody in years he's more than capable of knocking out an amateur like Conor. As for gassing, he'll be physically done in no time chasing shadows. I have no doubt Mayweather will drag it out for entertainment but Conor doesn't belong anywhere near a boxing ring.

I agree with your general opinion in regards to Mayweather schooling Conor but you're just not accurately assessing the Diaz fights at all.

BradHorse Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Again - Mayweather fans - he's only 1/6 right now. If you're all as sure as you say you are then I'd advise getting some money down. Feel free to post bet slips too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
