    this is farcical beyond farcical, typcial TMZ shyte.
    anyone who believes that could ever happen in any mans lifetime is an idiot.
    It reads like rocky Vs thunder lips. The closest any man ever has to seeing such a match was randy couture and James toney end of story.:rolleyes:

    I don't for a single second believe the fight would ever happen but if it did this forum, and probably the whole internet would have to shut down with the handbags squabbling between the McGoat fanboys & The Flomos

    There is not one UFC fighter who would beat a World Champion Boxer in Boxing at the same weight.


    She is a ufc fighter.

    Paddy power giving odds of 1/5 that the fight DOESNT happen in 2016. If anyone has a spare few grand lying around, You won't get an interest rate like that anywhere else.

    Must be a load of rubbish. If somehow it's not, then everyone who's foolish enough to buy a PPV ticket deserves exactly what they're going to get. The Irish amateur lads going to the olympics would stand a MUCH better chance against Mayweather than McGregor does. Freak show in the extreme.

    yeah no mcgregor cant box atal :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    don't get me wrong its highly unlikely he would win but to call it a freakshow at all never mind an 'extreme' one when you look at the standard of some of mayweathers past opponents is a bit ridiculous

    The gulf in class between McGregor's and Mayweather's boxing skills would be astronomical. Like nothing anyone has ever seen in a top level professional fight.

    That would put McGregor at a seemingly insurmountable disadvantage. I seriously doubt he'd accept such a fight, particularly after losing to Diaz.

    If they reached a compromise and fought with some non-boxing MMA moves allowed, I could see him possibly giving it a shot. Mayweather would obviously be more likely to refuse though since that would take his own advantages away.

    (I realise this is a highly unlikely match to even happen, but sure it's fun to speculate while awaiting actual news) :D

    What we're essentially looking at is something akin to Roy Keane vs Brian O'Driscoll, where either Keane has to concede that full body tackles are part of the game, or O'Driscoll has to concede that he's not allowed to carry the ball in his hands. One of them is going to be massively out of their comfort zone depending on which rules are used, and given the stakes for both fighters I find it hard to see either of them conceding their own advantages.

    Boxing rules, Mayweather wins easily.

    MMA rules, McGregor wins easily.

    It'll obviously never happen anyway.

    Of all the hilarious things McGregor fanboys say on this forum, the suggestion that there is anything other than astronomical (and then some) gulf between McG's and Mayweather's boxing skills is the best.

    Roll your eyes all you want, it doesn't make your assertion any less preposterous.

    All irrelevant though as this will never, ever happen.

    If your nan was one of the best boxers (and the best defensive one) of the last 20 years, then yeah, maybe she would.

    Nobody is saying "McGregor is ****e". What they're saying is when it comes to elite levels of sport when the tiniest margins can make all the difference, the difference between the two wouldn't be... quite so tiny.

    As a boxer, McGregor wouldn't be fit to lace the gloves of a single man who Mayweather has fought since he became a world champion. Never mind have any hope in hell of winning a fight between the two.

    To a man, the Irish elite boxing team would make him look like a lost child in a boxing ring, he wouldn't be able to touch them.
