    Could this guy beat any top 10 welterweight? Doubtful. What is the worst name fighter around 147 you'd pick over McGregor? Or, what is the best fighter you think McGregor could actually beat?

    I'd bet there's 20 yr olds in gyms all over that would light McGregor up like a Christmas tree...

    I think a better question is name a pro fighter you think Connor could beat.

    Yeah. I asked that.

    "Or, what is the best fighter you think McGregor could actually beat?"

    Bottom line. This guy can't beat anyone. This fight is a complete sham.

    The 40 year old Leonard that fought Camacho would fuck up McGregor.

    To be fair, he seems in his physical prime and lots of Muay Thai guys have crossed over and had success early at the world level. That's not to say it should be assumed he could handle a journeyman, let alone a world class boxer.

    the thing is that Mcgregor is not a world level muay thai fighter either.

    Kickboxing, Muay Thai... He has combat experience. And he's not reeeeally fighting "the best boxer in the world". Floyds a 40 year old lightweight that hasn't fought two years and was only encouraged to fight again by a billion dollars to fight a guy that never boxed before.

    Maybe Floyds roids and IV's can't turn the trick anymore and he finds himself in with a young fit guy who can fight a little.

    To be fair? To be fair is to acknowledge the matchup is a joke and McGregor has zero chance of winning.

    He's a massive underdog and the fight is pointless because the only way Floyd loses is if he's not really who people think he is anymore. Having said that, it's entirely possible he's not. Maybe that's why he retired and only came back to fight a joke of an opponent for a shitload of cash.

    Doesn't make it a relevant matchup, but it is what it is. Floyds a 40 year old lightweight that hasn't been impressive in like 4 years. Maybe Adrian Granados would fuck Floyd up at this point. We don't know.

    It doesn't matter that Floyd's no longer the best in the world.

    Nobody's gonna beat Floyd in their pro debut. Especially someone with no boxing experience and who looks laughable in sparring.

    This is a given.

    Any man capable of beating Trinidad would find McGregor a walk in the park.

    Current Shane could fight McGregor and he'd look like 2000 Shane.

    Thinking about it. THis fight probably hurt MMA (or the UFC) a lot, unless Mcgregos manage a miracle KO
    hahhaha

    I'd pick either of Leonard or Trinidad to come OUT of retirement and fuck up McGregor.

    That's how little I think of him.

    Insert Clever Metaphor Here

    MMA/UFC really has nothing to lose IMO.

    Floyd is supposed to win, and win big. If McGregor gets smoked I see it as just an excuse to start calling out Floyd to fight Conor via MMA rules next, for another 1/4 billion dollar payday.

    Whether Floyd acquiesces or not, or they already have this percolating on the back burner..........I don't know.

    Whether Floyd's pride will allow himself to be embarrassed for even that much money, I don't know.

    Didn't finish my message. Had to leave. What I meant, is that win or lose, McGregor will probaly not fight in the UFC again, cause he won't settle for the pocket change the UFC gives him after a 100 m payday, and it will also probably cause a lot of disatisfaction among the other fighters in the UFC.


    No, I didn't meant that McGregor getting embarassed by PBF would have a negative impact on MMA

    Would McGregor really be cool with his last fight being a one sided beat down? I'd think if Floyd fucked him up like he should he would want to live it down in the octagon.
