I say Floyd takes the win by KO and Connor will gas.
KO??? Are you saying mayweather is going to throw more than a point based punch. I only watched the Paquio fight, but it was very disappointing.

You should watch more. Mayweather has knocked out 26 opponents, and knocked down even more than that.

Link seems to be broken.... I hope it is better.

How I see it Connor knows if he's going to win the fight it's gotta be with a KO within the first 5 or 6 rounds. He's definitely going to overdo it, as in chasing after Floyd and gassing fast. It's probably not going to be hard for the best defensive boxer to keep Connor at bay. So what will *probably* happen is Connor gassing fast and getting KO'd. If you saw the Connor-Nate fight you'll know because Connor got rocked by Nate's simple 1-2 but he was gassed then. When you are really tired and somewhat disoriented you'll get rocked easy..at least that's what I think unless of course Connor gets creative with his striking and land a fat one.

It seems pretty simple to me. If it was an MMA bout, McGregor would win. Since it's a boxing match, Mayweather will win. I'll watch for the hype but I doubt it'll be very entertaining after round 3.

Connor McGregor looks like he'd be better in bed.

It seems logical that Floyd would have a higher chance at winning a boxing match and Connor would have a higher chance at winning MMA.
I really think anything could happen, boxers have beat MMA fighters before, Brock Lesnar went from fake wrestling to do really well in MMA.
In boxing though I think Floyd will win.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Good to know. I do hope it is better than the last one. I wasn't impressed at all with the Pacquio fight, and thought Manny should have won. I don't really follow boxing, but enjoy a good match.
I believe that even Mcgregor's sparring partner said that he is going to get creamed.
Not sure about the link... thought maybe it was my phone, and still doesn't work on the computer. May be a cache thing.

Go you YouTube and search 'Mayweather KOs'. You'll find plenty of examples of Mayweather encouraging people to sit down in a big hurry.

I believe you, and I may have to look them up.
Based my conclusion on limited data is all.
