A prime McGregor can (T)KO an aging Floyd but I doubt Floyd stops Conor. I really think Conor has the unorthodox style to figure out Floyd. But, Conor needs to do it inside of 4 rounds or he loses a decision pretty handily. Floyd should be the favorite, but don't be shocked in this one.

McGregor has a punchers chance in so much as he has hands and Mayweather has a head but that is literally where it ends. I think Dan Hardy summed it up pretty accurately, 12 rounds of defensive boxing from Mayweather with McGregor throwing hard and missing often. That is if he doesn't get clipped as he tires.

Am I the only one on Tapology who cares about the greatest event in combat sports history? It really seems that way. Maybe the forum is near dead these days. Either way this is pathetic. I might have to leave Tapology and take my talents to Boxology at this rate.

I don't care about the boxing match. I knew the real entertainment would be in the press conferences. Mainly because Conor doesn't give a **** about holding back. Everyone else still has to make a living in boxing, so they play nice. Conor doesn't care because A.) he always has that UFC check in his back pocket with a number of matchups B.) he's making enough from this fight to retire on. And even though Floyd isn't shook, his crew certainly is. They are loving Conor because he's the best entertainer on the planet. His events always live up to the hype.

The Poster who said Mcgregor will figure out Mayweather and KO him!
Is Some of the most comical stuff I have ever heard lmao!
The same guy also said Floyd can't stop Conner Equally Hilarious lmao!
This Fight will not last 5 full rounds!! Mayweather will literally Toy with Connie and then Turn His Lights Out Whenever He Wants Too!!!
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a complete Fool!!!!
49 Pro Boxers and Many of The 49 were Elite Pro Boxers could not figure out Mayweather but somehow you Sheep think the novice Boxing Contard will be able too??? Stop making me Laugh it is starting to Hurt.
Nate Fing Diaz was on the verge of KO Connor *** are you people thinking lol... Nate Diaz is so Slow and Fundamentally Deficient at Boxing and Has Zero Punching Power due to his horrible Fundamentals! When you throw your Power hand and lean way over your front foot like Diaz does its basically a Arm Punch! Not too mention any half ass Boxer would Counter the living daylights out of Diaz because of this and many other errors that guy makes!!
Conor is going to get completely Dismantled By Mayweather it's Comical Lmfao.. Oh and by the way Floyd is no power puncher but I guarantee he hits way harder than Nathan Diaz! Guarenteed!!
Not only that it isn't always the most powerful punches that KO's people but rather the Punches you never saw coming!!
Floyd is going to hit Conor at will and conor will never see any of them coming!!!! Conor has never seen Speed,Timing,Reflexes and Footwork like he will see from Floyd!!! (Floyd is going to put him out of position so often and make him miss so badly that Conor will look Silly!
I can't stand Floyd Mayweather but my Gosh people reality is reality and Conor stands absolutely no chance of making it the distance let alone winning the fight! SMFH WOW Some People are Stupid and Guilable as ****.
Mayweather By 5th Round KO/TKO or Conor Quits! (And it will only last that long because Mayweather let's it last that Long!!!)..
Don't be a Sheep! Don't Buy this Circus of a Mismatch! It will not be remotely Competitive at All People! It don't matter if Floyd was 50 years old he would still Whoop Conors Tail in a Pure Fist Fight.. Period End Of Story!
Don't Be A Sucker and Make these Two More Wealthy with your hard earned Dollars... $100 PPV get the Fook out of here with that Garbage...
It's going to be a Whitewashing or rather a Blackwashing if you will!

I love this ****. Conor is making Floyd his *****, I'm telling you this mental warfare game can work. Besides that the styles of both of them lead to an early stoppage or a 12 round dance fest. I think Conor can pull this off, hes the underdog but coupled with his unorthodox style and the mental edge he's got some serious momentum heading into this fight.
Conor had so many gems in those press conferences, saying Floyd can't read, mocking his childish attitude and stupid chants, but it did shake Floyd when conor said he gets to make many times his net worth for half a fight. Floyd knows he needs as many rules and restrictions he can get to win a pugilism contest, not a real fight.

People really overestimate the "mental game" sometimes and if they think it will matter in this fight, well...I really, really doubt it.

People are ridiculous. Conor is not mentally beating Floyd. Get real, people. Do you see how composed the dude is? He's been doing this at the highest level for 20. *******. Years. This isn't his first rodeo. This is nothing to him. Conor seems more annoyed than Floyd does, but even then, not ridiculous enough to say Floyd is "in Conor's head".
McGregor is not winning anything - especially the actual fight. This **** is ridiculous. McGregor will not touch Floyd, let alone "KO him inside 4 rounds". He has zero chance here. This isn't Eddie Alvarez in an MMA fight or Eddie Alvarez in a boxing match. He is fighting a defensive master who is going to put on an absolute boxing master class in this fight.
People rag on Floyd's power, asking when the last time he KO;d anyone. Again; ridiculous. When was the last time Floyd fought a 0-0 clown? That's a far better question. This fight is stupid, but I will watch for the sheer spectacle. Conor has no shot, he is about to get lit up very, very badly. And I cannot wait for it.

Not that I think it will effect the outcome... But I think Floyd showed some weakness mentally when he appeared phased by Conor's racially insensitive remarks. I think Floyd realized that and that's why he came back the next day with the gay slur. However Conor brushed it off.
Floyd should have ignored the comment like the new money twit he is.

What mike said. This is just going to be like every other Floyd boxing match, and that is a complete shut down of any offense Conor tries to put forward and doing just enough striking to score enough points to win each round. It won't be flashy, but it will be the inevitable. The only thing you could even remotely argue Floyd has going against him is that he is fighting at Light Middleweight (154 lbs/24 kilos), as it is Conor's natural weight class and Floyd is rather undersized for that division, but even then Floyd has beaten some of the top boxers at that weight class like Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo Alvarez, and Marcos Maidana. Unless Floyd decides to go full ****** and do what Aldo did and run full speed into a counter punch from one of the best counter punchers in MMA, Floyd wins this by a Unanimous Decision and the UFC will have had it's biggest star hurt from a fight that means nothing to anyone outside of the delusional suckers that are casual "fans" of combat sports that waste $100 on this kind of flashy crap.
