Floyd Mayweather is an incredible boxer.

The dude is virtually unhittable. You have the best boxers in the world looking silly in the ring against him. He's standing right in front of them and they can't hit him.
This clip may give you a new appreciation for his skills in the ring:

What's funny about that?

He is for sure going to absolutely molly wop McGregor, but that little "what if" in the back of everyone's mind is just enough to make it interesting.

This is a gimmick, it was always a gimmick, and it will always be a gimmick. The only thing that can save boxing is two heavy weights emerging to walk to the middle of the ring and beat the shite out of one another. The small, fast, technical shtick has run its course.

I'm sure a lot of the press conferences were somewhat scripted and dramatic, but I still feel like Floyd has expressed multiple times his age and how he's not the same fighter he used to be. Almost as if he's setting it up as excuses if he cant pull it off.
Connor's got him more nervous than initially anticipated. Should be a great fight for the first few rounds. Unless Connor lands a haymaker in rounds 1-3 or 4, Floyd out conditions him just like the Pacquiao fight.

It has always been about heavyweights. We just haven't had a dominant, American heavyweight in a long time.

That combo he dodged from Canelo Alvarez at 1:02 was insane. Canelo is an awesome fighter. Conor won't touch him.

Mayweather beat them all. Yeah McGregor has a shot

Yeah, he's going to pretend he never questioned that.

With the general public, hence the money, this is correct.
With boxing aficionados, not so much.
With boxing writers, it's a mixed bag because they realize that boxing needs money in order to survive but still appreciate a true technician.
Guys like Mayweather often are not disciplined enough to avoid the challenge to go toe to toe with guys to "prove" themselves. Got to give the guy props for avoiding that bait.
Guys with similar styles to Mayweather but a little more pop and a vocabulary go down as legendary. Think of a young Sugar Ray Leonard. The guy could slip punches like nobody and put a man on the canvas in a heartbeat. Of course that may just be my nostalgic recollection.

He stood in front of canela that whole fight dodged punches and boxed his face off mcfisty has no idea. He is going to be hit from angles he never thought possible.

I think I'll go with that.

I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to fight him. I don't see how Conor will fare any better than the others.

Well AJ is the man to do it.

No boxing under 160lbs matters..
Posted on 7/18/17 at 11:30 am to PrimeTime Money
I still can't believe Floyd didn't make Conor at least come down to 150lbs. Seems like fighting at 155 will be an advantage to Conor. On the other hand I'm assuming that being smaller isn't quite the disadvantage in boxing that it is in MMA?
Posted on 7/18/17 at 12:08 pm to PrimeTime Money
Floyd is 40 now.
Father time will do work.

to further show how much of an idiot that guy is
As of his most recent fight in 2015, Mayweather has a record of 26 wins without a loss or draw in world title fights (10 by KO); 23 wins (9 KOs) in lineal title fights; 24 wins (7 KOs) against former or current world titlists; 12 wins (3 KOs) against former or current lineal champions; and 2 wins (1 KO) against International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees.
It's not like the man the man dodged competition
