    What odds will you give me on McGregor landing less that 50 punches?


    He doesnt need 50 . All he needs is one with that straight left.

    Yeah should land at will man .

    Where did I say, or even imply, that McGregor would be able to land at will?

    This thread is strawman central as ever.

    He can exploit it much more than any other opponent Floyd has faced in a long time too......

    Given that McGregor's 74" reach is the longest Floyd has had to deal with in that long long time.

    How does that one work?

    Conor via DQ
    41 year old vs a 29 year old in his prime.

    Has mayweather ever faced a fighter with the reach of Conor mcgregor and also struggles against southpaws.

    Would Mcgregor beat the top 50 boxers in the same weight class in the E.U in their prime. Not a hope.

    Mayweather should win easily but there's always a chance he could hit an ageing Mayweather one good punch which could knock him out which is intriguing and could make a show of boxing. Mcgregor shouldn't be able to touch him but think about if he won.

    I know it's a money pit and am a fan of both sports but will be tuning into watch to see mcgregor getting gassed out and knocked out and mayweather dancing around him.

    Mcgregor is such a draw, a loud mouth, top UFC star, Irish, a great UGC fighter, if it was Aldo vs Mayweather I wouldNT bother stay up for it.

    Big time, I am wondering how McGregor can exploit his power better than someone like...Saul Alvarez, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley and Marcos Maidana.

    Oh no no I know.

    I just want to know how he can exploit that power better than the fighters he listed, or the narrowed list that I mentioned even.

    I am particularly interested how he can exploit it more than Canelo more than anyone else on that list.

    I'll be fine, you just work on your excuses when Conor wins.

    Here I'll even help you out:

    1. It was rigged.
    2. Fake fight.
    3. Floyd allowed him to win to get a rematch.
    4. Lucky punch.
    5. Canelo/GGG would destroy Conor, he just got lucky.
    6. Floyd took a dive.
    7. The illuminati was involved.

    Get over this reach thing, as if that is the advantage that Conor will have over other Mayweather opponents....

    Pure nonsense. Conor's reach means sweet FA when you add in that he is not a boxer, or close to a boxer.

    You could put Jon Jones in there with his 80 + reach and he'd still be timed and beaten every day of the week.

    You really are picking Conor here, and are failing to hide it, and failing to hide your cluelessness to what Conor faces on Aug 26.

    There wont be any excuse if he wins, if he wins he wins.

    But he wont. As equally as you pinned your colours to Conor I think Mayweather will win easily.

    Conors cult wont care in the slightest when he is embarrassed in there . They will move on to the next thing he does and row in behind him like they have on this . Dont know if it impresses me or scares me

    If Mayweather wins easily then fair play to him. He's a phenomenal boxer, his hand-speed, timing and reactions are amazing.

    Conor is no dummy, he knows how good Floyd is.

    The open workouts tomorrow and Friday will be interesting anyway. Floyd will probably do a lot of traditional pad-work for his tomorrow and I'd say Conor will do a lot of "touch-butt" with Ido for his one.

    .

    Kind of implying that he has to be or needs to be phenomenal to beat Conor?

    Will you really be surprised if it's a very dominant and easy win for Floyd?

    I think Conor is going to get absolutely humiliated in one of the most boring 12 round boxing fights ever.

    That's if Floyd decides to carry him and not beat him up too much, forcing a stoppage from the referee or Conor's corner...

    Conor wants the appearance of a boxing match there wont be any touch-butt as you put it, he'll want to show he is preparing well and his incredible physique. Will do some bag work and maybe some light sparring to take the micky out of Paulie I imagine.

    What about Floyd's health though?

    Jose, Nate, Eddie and now Paulie are all fighters that have shown signs of having some cognitive health difficulties shortly after being punched by McGregor..... and so tbf, you'd have to wonder will Floyd's little head be able to take such smacks at his age.

    I'm sure he's worried sick . What he'd give to be facing Manny Canelo Maidana etc instead
