Depends on the weight division (as McGregor would either be weight-drained or bigger by like 15 lbs) but I'd still pick Gatti. McGregor would land, but based on what we saw it doesn't mean very much
Doesn't matter how much McGregor out weighs him by. Gatti wasn't an elite professional boxer.... but he was a professional boxer, and his stamina didn't fall apart after 3 rounds. Gatti by stoppage.
Agreed. He wasn't an elite fighter, but he was a guy who competed at world level and knew how to fight 12 rounds. Not only fight 12 rounds, but fight 12 rounds at an intense pace in a fucking war. Despite the size difference he'd be far too much for Conor "Pillow Fists" McGregor.
McGregor is very easy to hit, he could do ok vs feather fisted boxers with a bit more grooming, but he gets slaughtered vs punchers. Gatti is not elite, but he wins this in less than 5
