    McGregor has a chance, a small one... but a chance nonetheless. He's gonna throw some wacky shit at Floyd from angles he hasn't dealt with before with speed and accuracy that will surprise the 40 year old.

    Anything but a stoppage is a loss for mayweather. If this goes the distance it's a joke for not only his legacy, but the entire sport. If I was a betting man I would put money on a stoppage from body shots. I don't think mcgregor has ever been hit to the body the way he's about to. Diaz did it a little and mcgregor folded.

    But it's also wack to dismiss mcgregor just because he's never had a boxing match. He's a professional fighter, not some sideshow. He's going to be the much bigger man tomorrow, and if Floyd wasn't bluffing about going forward, he's stepping into mcgregors strength as a counter puncher. Never underestimate an opponent. Ever.

    Buster Douglass beating Tyson would be the only thing saving McGregor....the lucky punch connecting...only it has to be real lucky because Floyd can take a punch better then Tyson could.

    He's literally the best defensive fighter ever. Even better than Ali.

    Tyson's defense sucked. He was a plodder with quick powerful hands and excellent 3-4 punch combos. He was not a good defensive fighter.

    Seasoned HOF boxers can't hit Floyd. Mac is not gonna get a lucky punch.

    So we have a fight tomorrow night in LA. Miguel Coto. HBO bosses scheduled ours so right as our main event ends, Floyd and Conner walk to the ring in Vegas.
    We will be staying in the studio instead of heading back to the hotel. Regardless of what you think of these two, should be entertaining for a little bit! I know I'm not gonna miss it!
    Apologies to the four so if me talking about my workday tomorrow would be considered bragging, I hope I didn't offend you.

    I think Mayweather will want to send a message. I bet he's tired of all the MMA dudes talking about how they want to take him on. Hell, a few years ago people were talking like Ronda Rousey should fight him. She then went on to get dominated in her next fight. The talk ceased after that.

    They should have 2 fights. One with boxing rules, one with MMA rules

    Nobody would watch the mma fight. Floyd wouldn't last 1 minute.

    Go watch James Toney vs Randy Couture to see how awesome that was.

    Pretty sure everyone agrees that Floyd will win, and win handily.

    Conor has a chance. Someone always has a chance in combat sports. Especially with the power and accuracy Conor has.

    Hilarious. Floyd has seen all angles. He's 49-0 and he's beaten some HOF boxers. MFs that would beat Conor's ass.

    It's hilarious that you think Conor has zero chance. It's a fight, its a sport. Regardless of how much of an under dog he is, he has a small chance to win. See the USA hockey team beating the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics. Crazy shit happens in sports sometimes.
