    Against a novice?? A no hoper?? A top amateur would finish McGregor by the midway point. Floyd should be finishing the fight inside 1 minute.

    Or do you really believe McGregor is not THAT bad?

    Floyd often says he is going for the KO, then he doesn't. In this he should honestly end the fight within 3 rounds, 4 at the most but it is never guaranteed with Floyd that he won't simply coast.

    He does not give two ****s what people think of him either so putting on a show for the fans will not be high on his list of priorities. He isn't a killer of a fighter either like a GGG and his mantra of composure, patience, wait for right time etcall leads you to believe he might draw this out

    Make no mistake though if he can't/doesn't bother getting McGregor out of there even at 40/41 it is a failure on his part.

    If he really wanted to I would bet good money he would end it in round 1, but he will likely go safety first and figure McGregor out in the early exchanges.

    Thats why people would be foolish to bet big money on a finish etc . Floyd may well show off for 12 rounds . He doesnt really care how he wins

    It would be embarrassing for Mayweather if it goes to a points decision

    There were no black people dancing in the Celebrity Gym, they were three Italian looking women.

    You can see them at 37 seconds in:

    He has also referred to himself as a monkey a couple of times.

    WalshB not sure if you answered this and it means little in terms of the fight but seen as you give Conor no hope, what chance do you give him winning a single round?

    Apologies just thought your opinion had changed for some reason . Can you see him retiring after it ? I can't see it but who knows

    Hard to tell, the word from the coaches are promising as in what will he do with himself all day if hes not got a goal or training camp planned, nobody knows till they get that cheque handed to them 100m dollars on top of the 25 he has now and all his assets, he will make the ufc bend over if he does return thats for sure,


    Only upside of a complete whooping from Floyd is Conors ego wouldnt allow him to retire like that.

    Yep im sure he'd want to go out on his own terms . Would you worry for him when he does reitre ? People who reach that level of fame and fortune seem to struggle to fill the void left

    Eubank Jr looking sharp on the pads, love his Dad watching in the back there as well.

    Mayweather has him in for sparring for McGregor...

    Eubank jnr is amazing in the gym . His social media accounts are very good for following him . Seems to be a complete gym bunny

    Imagine Floyd is sparring him . Imagine sparring being 100times more difficult than the fight which will make you 100million .

    Are you sure he's sparring Floyd? Huge disparity in size there.

    Not really for sparring though . He'd just be helping Floyd anyway he can .

    Floyd doesnt need help of an orthodox fighter that size really, no comparisons with Conor doubt hes sparring him, hes a young south paw called josue Vargas for sparring also Malignaggi mentioned Zab Judah and Errol Spence was in for rounds.

    My guess is that the clinch is something conor is going to really try and benifit from somehow and make mayweather think twice about clinching which floyd uses alot. I take it thats why they bought in a ref they are going to fight to the very edge of the rules.
    But thats just my opinion

    Eubank Jr is hits hard, would not be wise to spar with him full on.

    His biggest flaw at the moment is that he doesn't seem to carry enough power . Anyway that is off topic

    Conor may try fight dirty but a foul is a foul at the end of the day . From his brief sparring clip refs will call them all day long

    The obligatory "Floyd was knocked out in sparring" rumour has come out I see.

    Max Kellermann called it!

    I had heard on Reddit he was brought in, he has a long range and is bigger, both things that McGregor has over Floyd.

    Let me guess, it was Zab Judah again mimicking Conor this time instead of Manny?

    If he wins in 2 then it's KO/TKO or DQ...

    No excuses...

    He won't win though..
