I like mcgregor so my votes with him.

Mayweather is just a money loving, cocky prick. Just gotta hope his age affects his performance.

I want McGregor to win, but he's going to be boxing... so I doubt he will. He's a UFC fighter, not a boxer.

If McGregor was fighting Mayweather in his own sport.. oh you'd know who would win.

Wow. I can't believe this joke of a fight is really happening. Have to give props to Conor though, he pushed and made this fight happen for himself. McGregor just scored the biggest win-win situation of his career. If he wins, he boosts his status through the roof and makes $100+ million dollars. If he loses, it's a "that was supposed to happen" situation and he still makes $100+ million dollars. Floyd is going to take Conor to school and completely have his way with him for 12 rounds or until Conor gasses out swinging at air and gets the finish. "But -Ford, Floyd hasn't KO'd anyone in forever", "Floyd has glass hands, -Ford!". You really think that Floyd doesn't have the power to knockout an amateur boxer? Just like Conor would say himself "it's a whole different ballgame when they get in their with me". Well Conor, it's whole different ballgame when you step into a boxing ring with one of the greatest of all time. Boxers can punch and they can punch hard. However, I'm not saying Conor doesn't have power. Conor was rocked by a jiu jitsu specialists, Nate Diaz. There is always the "puncher's chance" in Conor's favor, but I don't see that being enough here. You're delusional if you think Conor McGregor, an amateur boxer with ZERO boxing credentials, will stand any sort of chance with arguably one of the greatest boxers of all time, who specialized in not getting hit throughout his entire career. This is the most pointless fight ever, where this build up is going to be better than the actual fight. The real losers are going to be the people that actually pay to watch this PPV. With that being said... I'm gonna watch it. I won't pay for it, but I'll watch it. As a diehard MMA fan, the choice is very obvious: Floyd Mayweather has a $100 million dollar sparring session and improves to 50-0. Now for the bold prediction, after this fight, Conor is going to walk away with the payday of his life, turn around, and defend a title in December of this year.

While i respect your opinion i can't help but disagree. In the world that conor comes from you are trained to defend yourself better, you can't disagree with that. Now factor in that all the things conor usually is looking for (takedowns, kicks, elbows, subs) take that all in and eliminate everything except the hands. Granted floyd is an incredible defensive fighter but he can and has been rocked. While i don't think conor left hand will magically drop him you'd be silly to not think that at 40 years old, not boxing and taking real shots regularly, that he will be untouchable. He will get touched and will get touched more than he thinks. They are not being fair to conor in the press conferences, not informing him trying to shake him because its floyds show. But i believe confidence and bravado are a real factor whether you want to believe it or not. I believe on top of the McGregor mind games, impending IRS problem, not boxing consistently over the last few years....that floyd's muscle memory will not be as sharp as it once was. Emotions will be running very high that night and everyone who believes this fight isn't real go do your homework. He may be Hollywood Floyd but conor is legit as they come in form of bad ass. He will be going in there very wild and very strong, if floyd bears the early storm he'll cruise to a decision victory.

My bets on mcgregor, great fighter and great style!

very smart fight by connor because he dont really have anything to lose he already has a few loses so if he gets beat then he has another loss on his record but comes out with the biggest payout in fighting history. Whereas if he wins the he goes down as the greatest fighter ever, so win win for connor in my eyes.

McGregor is going to lose the question is how quick because it's rare for FM to finish a fight without going to points.

It will go to points that's the thing and McGregor probably won't even win a single round, won't even land 10 clean punches.

In Conor's world, I don't think you're necessarily taught to defend yourself "better", but I think you're taught to defend yourself from more variables. Like you said, kicks, elbows, takedowns, etc.. You have to be more well-rounded and diverse in the world of MMA to be successful. Therefore, you must equally spread your training to those variables. You have to spend time training and improving your boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, learning how to navigate the octagon, etc. in order to be ready to not only to have offense but to successfully defend yourself. So you take all the weapons that you've diversified your time training for and dedicate them to two things: left and right hand. Conor has spent a vast majority of his training in MMA. Do you think that Conor's one, maybe two years, that Conor has dedicated to boxing, is enough to compete with someone who's spent their whole life training in nothing but those two variables? I don't. Floyd has dedicated his to career to not getting hit and has been very successful at it. Sure he's been tagged a few times but everyone gets hit, but every time he's been hit it's never been enough. Floyd has fought the best boxers in the world, who have also dedicated their lives to strictly boxing, and has been barely hit by the best boxers in the world, who have true boxing power, and it's never been enough. MMA boxing does not translate to boxing's boxing, so there are things that he's just not going to have. He's waaaay behind in terms of the art of boxing. Also, I don't think that just because Floyd retired from boxing that he completely stopped training. The dude is an athletic freak. For example, when he goes to clubs, he drinks nothing but water, and get's the valet driver to drive his car home after while he runs along side it. I can promise that Floyd still trains and is in amazing boxing shape.

Confidence and bravado are definitely real, and I can assure you that both of these guys both have plenty of it. McGregor's mind games have zero effect on Mayweather. This is all fun and games to him right now. He's been here plenty of times. He's been booed plenty of times. He's almost never had the crowd on his side. He's playing his role of the villian perfectly. The IRS situation is being blown way out of proportion, and I'm sure he's not sweating about it at all imo. His muscle memory is fine, plenty good enough to beat and knock out an amateur boxer. Do you think that Kobe Bryant couldn't come out of retirement and beat most active people in a game of 1-on-1? Their muscle memory is still there, and though there may be a little rust, he'll be sharp on fight night. A lot of people say Conor needs to come out guns blazing and pin Floyd in a corner but that's not how he fights. All Floyd has to do is be Floyd and it's his fight. It's very simple. I completely respect your opinion, but I just don't see an amateur boxer beating a man that 42 other real boxers couldn't do.

Dang man I like your responses, I feel as if you and I are the only ones who truly know what is going on and what will happen in this fight. You speak really well on this, it amazes me. Have you ever competed at boxing or mma? I have and you just seem like you really know your stuff! I personally don't see Floyd having any rust, this man owns his own boxing gyms I don't think the man has ever stopped boxing. I mean how could you after doing it your whole life!
