    The fight would only last as long as Conor wanted it to.

    It's easier to call "he won't land a shot on Floyd" by boxing experts "hating" though

    I wonder if Conor's boxing skills will help him at all in the MMA? He was one of the best strikers before...

    Zero chance was ridiculous. I think mostly everyone thought mayweather would win, but its combat sports. There always is a punchers chances.

    The people saying there was zero chance are just as idiotic as the people saying conor would win.

    Thanks. I saw Floyd sitting there just chilling on his stool. I was like "fucker doesn't even break a sweat".

    If Floyd was 3o, if I was McGregor, I'd challenge him to get inside the Octagon. I highly doubt he'd do it though.

    I wanna see the Leprechaun/Cholo 3 too but only at 155, Diaz is naturally bigger than McG so 170 had to be a bitch.

    Nope, he had no chance. If Mayweather were an aggressive boxer, the "one random lucky punch" thing is plausible. Against arguably the greatest defensive boxer ever? No, a knockout was simply never plausible.

    And as for "combat sports"--are you willing to say Mayweather would have a puncher's chance against McGregor in a UFC match?

    Why?

    Ferguson vs. Conor is a way better fight.

    What would him getting choked out in 20-seconds prove?

    :doh:

    Sure. I would give him a 1% chance to catch conor before he got taken down.

    Its combat sports. Anything can happen.

    Have you heard of jose aldo?

    I bet you people said riddick bowe had zero chance against tyson too.

    You missed my edit, so I'll repeat it here: And as for "combat sports"--are you willing to say Mayweather would have a puncher's chance against McGregor in a UFC match?

    Roy Jones jr. Called it when he said that McGregor hasn't seen a 5th or 6th round and that he would get tired from the gloves that were two times as heavy as two gloves he was using. All of that came true.

    I think it will greatly, this experience only made him better, and richer...

    said he wants to fight in the UFC again before the year is over

    Better on paper but let's be honest, the average person doesn't know who or how good Tony is. Same with Khabib (who probably won't get a shot again).

    So much better. That fight was a waste. I didn't enjoy it anywhere close to this one.

    The average person didnt know who Nate was before he fought Conor.

    Nate doesn't deserve the trilogy right now tbh.
