The biggest question to me is, if this happens, does Conor ever fight again

He seems to love fighting and attention so, maybe

Counterpunching is a thoughtless reflex for Mayweather. Unless he got really old in retirement, he's going to hit McGregor and probably more cleanly than he's hit most of the professional boxers he's fought lately. I would have trouble believing that McGregor will be better than for example Canelo Alvarez at avoiding Mayweather's right crosses.

It's hard to say but my personal feeling is that whatever defensive conditioning McGregor has isn't going to compare to what a professional boxer who started the sport at age 13 and fought for twelve years might have. He may even have bad defensive habits that can be exploited.

agree.

conor is a great puncher. his power is very nice. i doubt hes got stuff as fast as zabs punch that hit floyd back in in antiquity. but he babe ruth called a shot on a goat-discussion striker in mma, so basically his craftiness and chops seem to give him a chance to land something. i know boxing is different but hes got a commitment and understanding about how to attack with his length. and hes a southpaw that cant hurt right? Also hes got a chin and a lot of courage, and a little reach on Floyd.

to me if conor won a round, or hung in past the 8th, it would be a pretty good accomplishment

i dont think he'll look like a can cuz hes got physical attributes and surely has sparred pros like weve seen footage of...

Mcgregor is gonna lose as badly as James Toney

e: I guess not that bad because he won't get knocked out or anything but it's gonna be bad

I think he might get KOd if he expends a lot of energy attacking. hard to predict what conor will do imo

i wanna see if floyd does the clinching thing where he puts his head under the other guys arm and how conor responds to it. also i want to see floyd defend conor's left reach/power/accuracy on the ropes.

i expect floyd to do his expertise on the rules technique masterpiece he usually does

yikes i just made a non facetious post in this thread, oh well
