I think Floyd will win for the obvious reasons. I highly doubt he can knock McGregor out though. But one lucky shot and McGregor could knock Floyd out. You just need one lucky punch. I think Connor will give it his all the first three rounds. That's about his only chance at a knockout. After that I think he will get tired and it will be a bunch of holding and grabbing and go to the score cards where Floyd will win an easy easy decision. But the first three rounds could be dangerous.
Not to mention Floyd is the only one with anything to lose in this set up. McGregor loses and it's, "I lost, but I'm a fighter not a boxer, so what did you expect?"
All said – I'd love to watch it. I think McGregor could handle a long fight (the only time he looked really gased was the fight at 170) but at 155 he's looked solid. Strong chin. And I think would bring a whole new approach to the fight.

If they get in the ring and only box and nothing else, Conor will lose badly.....just as if Floyd was put into an mma ring......They need to let each one of them use their skills on the other or this won't be a fair fight......Floyds too good of a boxer and Conor is to good of a MMA fighter.
Floyd is so fast I doubt Conor would even be able to touch him if he couldn't tie him up and wrestle him. And as soon as Mcgregor gets Floyd off his feet.....its over for Floyd.
*Yes, I know he was stripped of the FW belt already.
I'd be surprised if Conor even gets one good shot in. Floyds quick. Plus Conor is out of his discipline.
Pit Row
Boxing is only one of many , many different disaplines that these MMA fighters use.
Throw either one of them on a mat in a wrestling competition against a Olympic wrestler.....same thing...they would both get destroyed.
I still dont see it happening, but today on First Take, Max Kellerman said it will, and not in years, but months.
In May 2007, the super-welterweight boxing match between Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. on HBO PPV became the biggest-selling non-heavyweight title fight, with a little more than 2.5 million buyers. The fight itself generated roughly $134.4 million in domestic PPV revenue, making it the most lucrative prizefight of all time at that time. The record stood until 2015 before it was broken by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao in a fight dubbed as the "Fight of the Century" on May 2, 2015 which generated 4.6 million ppv buys and a revenue of over $400 million.
McGregor throws lots of hard lefts so if he can catch him with one early he may have a chance. Anything over 4 rounds will not be good. To achieve what 49 other guys couldn't, would be amazing though.
Using more than boxing would be a great advantage to whoever was trained in that discipline. There is no way a boxer who didn't train for MMA would do well without completely retraining themselves.
From the sounds of it, McGregor is the one who really wants/needs this fight, so if he agrees to a boxing match then it's perfectly fair. Part of his discipline includes boxing, at least to a much greater degree than boxing includes other parts of MMA......
them fighting each other is dumb though. that's like Michael Jordan in a home-run derby...
