Conor McGregor v Floyd Mayweather Jr

"In a real fight I would dismantle him in seconds...I would knock him out cold."

Now he has done such a thing, how does this pan out?
McGregor: 6oz gloves
Mayweather Jr: 8oz gloves

At 150lb

 

Floyd would destroy that cage bum. There's just a TIINNYYYYYYY difference in speed and skill between Floyd and Aldo. Just a taadddddd.

 

Forget the actual physical stuff for a moment....what about mental aspect?

 

It'd be over in moments. These cage groupies need to stop. Floyd is lightning quick with 10 oz gloves on. Put him in them 4-6 oz UFC gloves, and see how quickly it takes him to dispatch Conor.

 

Floyd kills him. Mcgregor is not a grappler, and his standup is not close to the level of Pbf. Floyd probably gets wrecked by mendes though.

 

:bears:

 

Seconds. One or two punches, then it's over.

McGregor is a bit quicker than he's given credit for, IMO, but Floyd's on another level. The build up to this would probably be the greatest build up to a fight of all time. The press conferences and weigh in would be fantastic viewing.

 

Wait....what are you debating here? Boxing or mma?

The boxer wins at boxing the mmaist wins at mma

 

Floyd could decide to go for the early KO. He'd have a pretty big advantage in speed, too. I'd imagine, though, that McGregor would aim to take the fight to Floyd using his feet (spinning kicks etc), which could cause Floyd big problems. McGregor isn't a take down type of fighter.

 

He'd become one if he was fighting a boxer with zero grappling experience.

Kimbo wasn't a grappler in MMA either but he became one against Mercer......Couture would never have gone for an ankle take down against an MMAist but he knew Toney wouldn't have any means to defend it.

Obviously if Mcgregor acted the cunt like Tim Sylvia vs Mercer and decided to box with Floyd in 4 ounce gloves it probably would end pretty quickly.

 

Conor would obviously shoot for takedowns if this is an mma fight we are talking about. He is not a hihgh level wrestler or grappler by mma standards but he obviously trains those disciplines on a daily basis and is much better at them than Floyd. If he can get a hold of Floyd without getting clipped on his way in he'd get Floyd out of there in like a minute. If it was a stand up fight, Floyd would light him up, even if Conor was allowed to throw kicks.

 

Has McGregor ever been dropped by punches?

 

Plus, McGregor would pre-fight, get into Mayweather's fragile little head very easily...that would probbly cause any one of 20 wannabe-ghetto-hangers-on or 'protector's to come to his aid.

 

Doesn't matter Hut.
Muhammad Ali vs Antonio Anoki in '76 wasn't debated as 'we-fight-as-one-style'.

Same logic applies here...

 

So Conor is just gonna kick Floyd in the legs for 25 minutes to a draw?

 

No.
But what I mean is, it wouldnt be a 'boxing-only' competition.

Merriweather would probably want so many 'pre-fight conditions assurances met' for such a fight anyway, being the bitch he is...

 

AgREED, with one proviso. If this cage fighting homo is allowed to fight with takedowns/wrestling etc, then he wins 7/8 times out of ten. Floyd still wins 2/3 times out of ten because he is fast enough to time him with something coming in at least the odd time in ten. If it is a stand-up only fight I'd back Floyd 10/10. No cage fighting homo of comparable weight is beating Floyd Mayweather Jr in a stand-up fight.

a good muay thai fighter is gonna beat a boxer at stand up in a cage

fwiw, i still think boxing is by far the most useful single 'art' for real world self defence tho. Pop, pop two guys gone and you're gone. BJJ on a street corner? Outside a pub? :atu: You'd have to be out your tiny mind.

 

This is becoming ridiculous, UFC fighers should stop mentioning Floyd every 2 minutes, it make them look like they have a younger brother complex big time and quite frankly, it's plain pathetic. Of course in MMA Conor would win at least 9 time out of 10 (but give Floyd 2-3 years of cross training and I think he beats him), in a real fight (the street), I'd probably pick Floyd but this is simply childish.

 

I try to stay out of these discussions because they're always so stupid, but I just have to laugh at all of the "Floyd would KO him in seconds" nonsense. Would he outbox McGregor? Sure. Wear him down, bust him up and eventually stop him? Sure, why not. But to think Floyd would suddenly develop 1 punch KO power just because he's fighting an MMA fighter is just silly.

And in an MMA fight, Conor wins every time.

TFK

 

Floyd's mind isn't fragile AT ALL. Not when it comes to actually FIGHTING at least. Now, OUTSIDE the ring he's a very insecure little man who tries to compensate with his money. But in the ring he's ALWAYS been amongst the mentally toughest, most focused fighters there's ever been.

 

Silly posters. Obviously Floyd wins a boxing fight. Street fight? Conor EASY. MMA? Conor easy. He is not shooting for a takedown don't be silly. However he does KICK the shit out of Floyd. Do you really see Floyd being durable to leg kicks? Or checking kicks? Lol or having any idea how to defend kicks? Conor busts him up with kicks and punches. Easy easy fight.

 

McGregor would mentally break him down pre-fight outside the ring....that's what I'm saying.

Just like when RA The Rugged Man absolutely annihilated Mayweather a few years back on radio...McGregor would go through him like a knife through butta...

 

All a y'all motherfuckers are crazy.

Think of MMA as a street fight.

You think a boxer is useless in a street fight, just because he trains to punch? MMA groupies act as though a boxer would be out of his element outside of the Marquis of Queensbury rules. Think of it this way: the average joe next door who trains in Judo and/or muay thai.....and goes to a bar and has an altercation with say a prime Mike Tyson. You think any of that Judo or Thai fighting would help him beat a prime Tyson in the street? Tyson would FUCK HIM UP! The speed and power of the punches alone would render the other guy's "skills" irrelevant because he would have the time to use it. Not to mention mike's reflexes and PHYSICAL STRENGTH etc.

"Street fight? Conor EASY" my big black ass.


Holly Holm beat Ronda not just with punches, but kicks and some grappling skills as well....I get that...BUT we mustn't forget that her ring generalship skills and punches were causing Ronda FITS in terms of her getting close enough to grab her. Floyd would light that motherfucker up long before he had a chance to grab him. Besides..Mayweather may be an average puncher in the context of 8 oz gloves against guys that are trained to take punches all night long...against the typical MMA guy his size who's not used to taking punch after punch after punch to the head and body, without those gloves his punches would be like Thomas Hearns.

 

Legs reach you before punches do. Don't compare Tyson to Floyd. That's like comparing bricks to pillows. Conor would kick the shit out of Floyd. Floyds legs are not trained to take damage. Neither are his frail arms on which a lot of vicious kicks would land. Sure he lands something here and there but Conor has a great chin so it won't change the outcome at all.

 

Get off Conor's dick!

Floyd was in the fight game before that scrub was even born. He isn't getting into Floyd's head. I hate Floyd, but I think you're truly underestimating how big the gap in FIGHTING TALENT is between him and Conor.

 

We're in agreement on this topic.

Cage groupies are desperate.

Floyd would light Conor up and overwhelm him with speed before kicks even come into the equation.

 

Nope.
McGregor's a fghter.
Mayweather's a boxer.

The latter has shown how much stomach he has for fighting in....well, you know the story by now like everyone else...
