re: Mayweather vs. McGregor - ITS HAPPENING

I would like to see a fight that involved a limited number of leg strikes per round. Perhaps just one or two. While Mayweather could potentially fold like a lawn chair, I think this would make for the most interesting fight.

McGregor has been boxing since he was a kid. That's a useful and transferable skill. He just doesn't do it well enough to compete with FM.
ETA: If all you're trying to say is that McGregor would get worked by FM, then I agree. But you're making it sound like McGregor is a BJJ expert trying his hand at boxing.

Teddy Atlas made a good point. If the fight happens and McGregor is getting worked, why not knock his arse out with a headkick? His popularity would explode.

All you Floyd fanboys are living in the past. Floyd has knocked out two people in the last 10 years. His fights now are boring to casual fans. Of course he'll beat McGregor in a boxing match, CM isn't even a boxer. There's no argument he's probably gonna win easy, but this idea that he's gonna come out like Tyson and take anybodys head off is just laughable

What's laughable is that so many of you have no clue about how big the gap is between the technical ability of an elite pro boxer and an elite pro MMA fighter. Boxing is so much more technical when it comes to stand up that they almost have nothing in common. They had fricking people in the OT thread yesterday claiming that Bruce Lee, an actor, would beat Mayweather in a fight

How am I a "fanboy"?

You know he was retired for two years during that time frame right? Of course you do.. 
I haven't said he is "going to take his head off" what I said was he was going to land at will and barely get touched. I get it you hate Mayweather.

At least that is a male. What about when Rousey would beat Mayweather?

Floyd made a decision to change his style of boxing so as to minimize risk. That's why his knockout rate plummeted.
McGregor is not a risk to him. He's no better than the average prospects that Floyd was stopping inside of 2 rounds 20 years ago. Floyd isn't going to take anyone's head off but he would drop McGregor multiple times.

I think people are ultimately missing the big picture with this potential fight
IF it does go down this could open up the door for a series of boxer vs MMA fights - would be huge for combat sports

Yea, or Rousey would take Ray Rice to the ground and arm bar him

No no no bro. There is a legit thread. Like people was being for real saying Bruce Lee could legit handle prime Mike tyson. Swear to god.

Several people say Floyd will "destroy" McGregor. By destroy do you mean run for 10 rounds and easily win a boring fight? Who has Floyd ever destroyed? Seriously?
You understand the purpose is to win right??

This would be a rare early mayweather stoppage. Would be shocked if this went past 6 rounds.
