[Norrin Radd]

So MMA fighter Connor McGregor has been given a boxing licenece by the californian boxing board . it will be interesting to see how he gets on .
not sure what weight he will fight at but im sure he will be very competitive in whatever weight it is.

McGregor V Mayweather is the money fight going by social media.

He has no interest in becoming a boxer other than to fight Mayweather. He has challenged him to a boxing match if Mayweather comes up with $100m.

McGregor vs Mayweather will almost certainly never happen. If it did, Mayweather wins, as he's only fighting Conor in Boxing because he knows he'd lose an MMA fight or a kickboxing fight. I'd be amazed if the UFC allow McGregor to compete though, they fought tooth and nail to stop Rousey appearing at Wrestlemania.

If McGregor vs Mayweather happens i'd be in awe.

Unfortunately Mayweather would probably win by dancing round for a little bit. Tactical genius but epitomises everything I dislike about certain boxers.

Conor's got a punchers chance. Floyd's not fought anyone with Conor's punching power for a long time, but chances are, Floyd will be far too technical for him. It'd be a fairly straight forward decision or late finish for Floyd in Boxing. In MMA Conor wins inside a minute. In Kickboxing Conor KO's him inside 5 rounds probably due to retirement through leg kicks.

Manny had a fair bit of fire power in those gloves!
Just think Floyd would ‘outbox’ Conor like he does with every opponent unfortunately.

unfortunately there's nothing in it for Floyd to fight him, it's not like he needs the money!

So the MMA fighter has to get a licence in another sport yet he's a star at his own?

If they fought, which I don't think they would, it wouldn't even be competitive. I've seen many videos of Conor on the pads and boxing sparring and his technique is awful. Floyd would shut him out easily.

And canelo is a far bigger puncher than mcgregor and he was dealt with easy enough.

Conor is an average boxer at best, any fight between those 2 would be a bore fest.

LOL. McGregor v Mayweather? Boxing wise, McGregor wouldn't have a chance against any of the top 100 welterweights, let alone Mayweather.

 

[Dan2501]

Still have WAY more chance of winning in Boxing than Mayweather would in MMA.

True but Mayweather has never made any claims to the contrary.

But Mayweather isn't chasing a fight with someone from a different sport. He doesn't need to.

Seems like Mayweather might be interested after all...

Still not going to happen. No way Dana lets Conor do this.
