Just to make clear to all those who seem to be confused here, Conor has as much chance of winning Wimbledon as he does of beating Floyd.

"History's best defensive boxer"?????
Natertoots
They should even it out. Boxer v. MMA fighter square of in a good bout of rapier dueling.
Crossark
I mean, yeah, the fighting styles aren't the most consistent, but McGregor tends to be pretty damn defensive, too. It'll be interesting.
KrazieMenace
Best boxer yes, best fighter? Nope

Mayweather is a woman beating twat. https://www.scribd.com/mobile/document/263785334/Kouran-Mayweather-Statement?skip_app_promo=true

Worlds best defensive fighter. Yeah they call that running away but I guess it's a good defense.
AchillesSkywalker
I'd like to see fights with different fighting styles. A sumo wrestler vs some form is martial arts would be cool

McGregor has no chance. NONE.

screw this stupid thing, Hulk Hogan and Rocky was more interesting

I hope Floyd 'Money' I-Beat-Women-And-Pick-Easy-Fights Mayweather gets his punk ass beat
Lisossoma
I do too but I don't think that's going to happen :( on the other hand, McGregor is used to MMA gloves, and boxing gloves are softer

Id let Mayweather punch me for a few mil, so long as someone else also paid my hospital bills

You could yourself with your winnings. Or losings, as it may be.

I don't enjoy boxing or MMA, but I would love to see Mayweather get the shit kicked out of him. He's a fucking douche.
marmotosaur
spot on!
TheHighKingOfImgur
My greatest hope is that McGregor gets hit, dazed and thinks he's in the octagon. Hip tosses mayweather and chickens him out.
KanzenChowa
Mayweathe hasnt boxed in like 2 years tho right
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
He only ever did 1 or two fights a year anyway so I don't think it will be that much of an issue.
CommanderWilliamTRiker
Yeah. And his last fights were with guys past their prime after dodging those fights for years.
TheTittyLicker
this is a circus act. disgrace to boxing if you ask me. can't say I'm not curious to see what will happen, tho.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
I agree. Boxing has been dragged through the mud enough.
SirReginaldFeatherbottomIII
Southpaw/young/fast. I bet McGregor wins by KO. Everyone is going to call it "that one lucky haymaker" and I don't think that will be true.
jesusedgarhoover
I will take a bet with you on that buddy.

Mayweather will win because this is his sport, but don't get it twisted. If this were MMA, McGregor would destroy him.

Nobody got it twisted ya dummy of course he'd win in the sport he competes in

Shit I'll run my mouth off for 70 mil +

$100+ just to sign for McGregor. $175+ for Mayweather. They're both walking out with 350-400 million easy.

The last mayweather might played at almost no bar because they couldnt afford to show it. The only place that had it charged $50 per person
UltraBooster
The bar capacity was about 500 people and thy still had to charge $50 per person to make it worthwhile. I think one household cost like $150
InvadingYourSpaces
I'm almost certain the entire fight would fit in a 'highlight clip'.
NoucheDozzle
Pffft. Mayweather's last KO was 5 years ago vs his girlfriend. The fight will go the distance.
PoppinLochNessHopster
I'm assuming Mayweather has been told not to take him down in the first round.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Lol how? Mayweather isn't a fighter he is a boxer. That means he plays the points and runs.
BisonMooseDuck
I don't know that's he's been told, but that's not Mayweather's style regardless.
DukeOfChutney608
mayweather is not the "worlds best boxer", he is a very smart and technical fighter but could easily be outfought.
jesusedgarhoover
By who?
DukeOfChutney608
someone who can strike effectively and has no fear
jesusedgarhoover
No fear just means he'll get hit more, and 'strike effectively'? Have you seen the guy spar in boxing style? I could fucking beat him.
bigassballs1
Notice they said "defensive". Mayweather doesn't punch and doesn't get hit. It's his thing. If anything he's the best avoider.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
He is also the best dodger of fights. He has made a career of dodging fighters and cherry picking his matches.
Kngmrk
But he's not in the fighting business, he's in the boxing business. Having said that, he is the "worlds best boxer".
DukeOfChutney608
its an entertainment sport and his fights are dull. imo he is like the worst boxer for that reason
AncientSeraph
Wrestling is an entertainment sport. Boxing is a technical sport that people find entertaining. They're not supposed to be clowns.
DukeOfChutney608
all televised sports are for entertainment purposes (people pay to watch them and be entertained). they exist to entertain ppl and make $.
AncientSeraph
No, the sports exist for the sport, just like non-televised sports exist. People just enjoy the skill displayed in televised sports more,
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
No he isn't. To be the best you have to fight the best. He spent his career dodging anyone he had a chance of losing to and instead
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
cherry picked fights with people who had no business being in a championship fight
WhyDontICare
It's not the first time this sort of thing has happened. When I was a kid there was a fight between Muhammad Ali and a Japanese wrestler.
anaraxachorious
And Ali fought Dave Semenko, an ice hockey player
TheresAGermanWordForThat
And a sumo fighter. And some Spanish dude with a mask and claws, for some kind of reason.
ReadySetBake
JeremyClericson
Antonio Inoki, creator of New Japan Pro Wrestling and what would become MMA. Ali's career was done and got a big pay day. 1/2
JeremyClericson
The whole match was a mess, a lot of stories that don't match and a farcical performance from both men, inoki scooting on his arse 2/3
JeremyClericson
A sad end to a great career. Here's an article in it all. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2009/nov/11/the-forgotten-story-of-ali-inok
DorianBlack
Yeah but that was a 'worked' match. I think Akira did a real deal vs. Andre The Giant n almost crippled Giant
Comintern
The Antonio Inoki match was not fixed but the ruleset was really weird. It actually caused lasting damage to Ali's knees
DorianBlack
No I'm telling you it was a work. They discussed what they would n wouldn't do. Source: Dave Meltzer/Wade Keller.
Comintern
Oh, I'd heard it wasn't but you're probably right. Meltzer is pretty much the ultimate source for wrestling trivia
DorianBlack
Yeah there is a match w/ a legit martial arts guy n Andre that turns real. And a boxer n like A 80s Japan guy that is a legit shoot.
ThatDwarfWhoStealsYourOpinions
I heard that fight was a disaster. It was just the Japanese guy kicking Ali while running away the whole match.
WhyDontICare
I looked it up on YouTube and he spent a lot of time on his back kicking out at Alis legs.
silverblur
To be fair Ali ' s management made sure the Japanese guy didn't really have any other options.

It's literally about money. That's it. Mayweather will dance and jab, will McGregor tries to land a big punch. Both walk with $millions$

Then after the fight they meet up and both joke about how much money they just made.
WonderHowManyCharactersICanTypeBeforeIReachTheLimit63Apparently
I think Phillip DeFranco was right - McGregor probably will get his ass kicked, but he wants some $$ to retire after the fight. 70M is a lot

More than 70. Rumour is 100 mil+ without ppv

I just wish Mayweather was as DTF (down to fight) as McGregor and would return the favor by doing an MMA fight. But he's a coward.
Norfolkanchancehere
Coward in your opinion. Does that also make you a coward if you don't fight Mayweather?
TheTittyLicker
the fight isnt important to either its 100% about the money. the existing boxing platform draws vastly more money than it's mma counterpart.
chefbou4gainz
Not only about the money, 50-0 looks better.
DMGuy
I don't like Mayweather either, but it's not really cowardly to refuse to fight in a style you're wholly unprepared for when challenged.
MrBilboTbaggins
He's 40 years old. Only an idiot would go into the octagon for the first time ever against a champion at that age
FredRogersIsMySpiritAnimal
*An undefeated "coward"
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
More like *dodged top contenders in their prime to fight easy opponents where you couldn't lose*
WillTradeSkiingLessonsForNudes
I bet a word with more than 3 syllables could defeat him pretty easily
jkbada
He's smart, not a coward. MMA skills translate much better into boxing than boxing skills to into the octagon. FM would get crushed in MMA
vintageRhino
I suppose you're right. I didn't consider that.
wheresurgurl
He's not smart. He's literally one of the stupidest professional athletes out there
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Mayweather's own son has called him a coward. In regards to Floyd beating his mom. He is a coward.
jkbada
On that point I will concede his cowardice, I would also be willing throw in a couple other choice adjectives
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
I want him to get his ass beat so badly, should look up his 10yo kid's police statement to really understand how much I hate him.
DefinitelyHungry
Floyd would have as better chance winning THIS MMA fight than McGreggor does winning this boxing match. But Floyd has no chance vs wrestler
DefinitelyHungry
I'm only saying this cause you know damn well McGreggor is too arrogant and would try to stand with Mayweather.
TheLoneGringo
He definitely wouldn't be "Pretty Boy Floyd" after an MMA fifht
weedbratton
He can't even read
ErinFromTheOffice
Mayweather isn't "afraid" of an MMA fight. He's self-aware and knows he doesn't have MMA skill. Am I a coward for not MMA fighting McGregor?
blunte
Yes. Redeem yourself by challenging him today!
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Mayweather is very afraid of losing. It's why he cherry picks every fight and refuses to fight top contender in their prime.
ErinFromTheOffice
He knows how to run his brand. Fighting people he could lose to is not a good investment for him. Maybe that taints his legacy, maybe not.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Say what you want, but dodging the top contenders for title fights makes you a bitch.
ErinFromTheOffice
In boxing, dodging is almost as important as punching.
josiah988
He's fought 24 world champions. He fought Manny, Canelo, and Cotto all in the past 5 years. The latter two were in their ABSOLUTE PRIME.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Manny wasn't even a boxer anymore when they fought, he was a congressman. Canelo wasn't ready to be in a championship fight.
josiah988
Canelo won ELEVEN world title fights before facing Floyd. Manny beat Algieri, Rios, and TIM BRADLEY, all in the 18 months before Floyd.

solaslunas
Pretty sure it's a retirement fight. McG might call it quits after the fight. Remember Undertaker?
DickDastardly404
From what I understand of MMA, which is fairly little, much of the fighting takes place on the floor, and the easiest way to take out 1/2
DickDastardly404
Someone who doesn't know how to defend against it is to choke them out or make then tap out with some kind of grapple. Presumably, 1.5/2
DickDastardly404
Mayweather would be on the ground getting choked fairly fucking quickly if they were doing MMA, because MMA is more of a "jack of all 1.75/2
DickDastardly404
Trades" kinda fighting sport, while Mayweather is a "master of one" type of fighter. It strike me that the concept was rather like 1.875/2
DickDastardly404
Pitting a master swordsman against a master marksman, put either of them in the other's element, and the outcome is all but basically1.975/2

Gregor has a "chance" in Boxing. Floyd does not have a prayer in MMA. If McGregor beats him, he'll be king of humanity.

Mcgregor grew up a southpaw boxer, only focused on his mma completely once he was signed to UFC but he's going to kill mayweather lol
Ilikeyogurt
When? I wanna watch this spectacle
legalizegillyweed
When what? I mean in Dublin he grew up boxing and then trained in mma when it got bigger so you can look it up, the fight is aug 26th tho

"A dude who never made a name boxing professionally is going to kill one of the best boxers ever" I mean I get being a fan but...lol
legalizegillyweed
He did win a title when he was younger in Dublin as I said he grew up boxing and then focused on his mma career?? He's going to destroy him

He won a youth title as a kid. Stop it. He was never a professional champion. This is painful lol

McGregor is the best pound for pound MMA fighter in the world right now. Mayweather said he ain't shit. Now they fight.

Which is why Mayweather will win. McGregor's got like a 1 in a million chance of actually landing a punch powerful enough for a KO.

McGregor's hope is just to land a haymaker. If he does Mayweather is done. Unfortunately Mayweather will probably still win. The prick.
jesusedgarhoover
McGregor is emphatically NOT a one punch KO artist and Floyd has a good chin. He won't hit him, but even if he caught him clean he won't win
seppdietrich
Technically true, but "just landing a haymaker on Mayweather" is juuuust shy of completely fucking impossible.

Also Mayweather isn't really a knock out guy. So this could go the full match and be unanimous, but Macgregor looks good for lasting.

mcgregor is estimated to make AT LEAST 75million. The most he's gotten from MMA was 15

I'm kind of surprised he got even that much from MMA (don't really follow it, so don't know the numbers). But, yeah, boxing purses1/2

PartiallyShavedSasquatch
McGregor wins the fight, Mayweather wins judges decision and keeps his title. Calling it bow.

how does he win the fight? are you retarded? you're suggesting a meh mma fighter could out box the worlds best boxer?
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
Mayweather plays to win. He'll stay on the defensive and dish out just enough of a beating to win the fight. McGregor will hammer him.
LinearAlgebro
so... you're saying Mayweather wins the fight
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
I'm saying Mayweather is going to win the fight, but he's gunna hurt afterward. While Connor will loose, but walk out with his head high.
thraxcres
But if it was a mma fight mayweather would be fucked. Theres no winning in this
PoppinLochNessHopster
Almost like he doesn't train MMA so he isn't good at MMA. Which is why he's going to win in the boxing match.
Putoface365
Mayweather said "No way i'd fight him mma, he'd choke me out in 10 seconds". Paraphrasing.

Exactly, just like Tiger Wood was never going to win the super bowl. Its a farce and I'm so tired of it
theycallmebigsexyy
I've been saying the same thing to everybody talking up Floyd
brokenteeth
Definitely, Mayweathers only hope would be keeping him at bay and not allowing him to close the distance. But Mcgregor has the experience
BlakeTortilla
Mayweather has done exactly that for 49 fights. That's his MO. EVERYONE tries to close on him. No one ever does. He doesn't get hit.
brokenteeth
It's a solid play, not as flash as Ali, not as bullheaded as Tyson. Same thing goes in MMA, person who controls range to their comfort wins
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
defending against punches is a loooooooot different from defending against kicks, grapples and tackles.
BlakeTortilla
It is. But they're boxing, so if anything this is a point for Mayweather.
HermanManly
you are underestimating just how much of a prodigy mayweather is. Possibly the best fighter in history
BlakeTortilla
At least defensively, he's the best ever, no doubt. If McGregor couldnt break Diaz consistently, he ain't gonna do much here.
thraxcres
He is one of the greats but mma fighters do fight boxers in the ring. Boxers don't fight mma fighters
TheBlackKaiser
There is a 5-10% chance he wins a boxing fight, and 100% chance he wins a MMA gight against Mayweather.
cspinasdf
5-10% is a bit of a stretch. It's probably more like 2-5%. Still agree with the second part though.
TheBlackKaiser
It is honestly really hard to guage.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Agreed, his only real shot is to catch Mayweather with his guard down, and hit him hard enough put him to sleep. A knockdown won't cut it.
NickRivieraMD
1% according to the bookmakers, per the post a few above yours
TheBlackKaiser
They are paying out 100:1? Cause i'd take that bet all day.
NickRivieraMD
Yeah I misquoted, it's 100:1 for a knockout by McGregor in the 12th.

Yes, fucking google. In the past 10 years MW has 1 KO. You REALLY think a 40 year old BAD STRIKER has the punching power he did in his prime

Oh and a key point, it's a boxing match. Sure McGregor is younger and stronger ... but he ain't a boxer anywhere near Floyd's caliber.

Where did you place that bet?

Yeah really. Even if it's a remote shot, that's a lotta money.

Are we sure Floyd doesn't have the power?

Half of his wins were by decision, and most of his TKOs and KOs were before the last ten years or so. He sneaks points and plays D.

He has 1 KO & 1 TKO in the last decade. Anything is possible in a fight, but unlikely unless Conor gets gassed and/or stupid.

I don't like Floyd, but I honestly think Conor will gas by the 5th, which will lead to a Floyd TKO
LeonardoDaTiddies
I am torn on his cardio in this fight. It's at a weight CM can make w/o much problem & boxing is one of the least taxing aspects of 1/
AwkwardCamel
He might, but Floyd only cares about winning, so he won't risk leaving himself open. He'll win by points
BisonMooseDuck
I'll agree with that. If he tires him out, he might risk one or two in the late rounds.
VicenteRojas
Just like every single one of his fights.

49-0 with 26 ko's? That's 53% of his fights ending with a KO.

Floyd does have power and he showed it in his earlier fights. His hands are in bad shape and he relies more on well placed fast punches now.
drunkhistorian
Exactly. He has the power with hands he's broken a few times. If he didn't have the power, brawlers like Canelo would have walked on em
legalizegillyweed
Conor has focused solely on boxing again since he wanted to fight Floyd, if you watch his training videos fast hands or not Conor will win
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
You mean when he fought no name boxers who shouldn't have been in that fight?
DefinitelyHungry
You mean when he was proving himself as a fighter against others trying to do the same? I don't like Floyd but come on man
