Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread

[Baofeng]

De La Hoya is 5'10'' and Floyd Mayweather gave him a boxing lesson and De La Hoya was a top ranked boxer.

Conor is 5'9'' and doesn't know how to box and has only fought bums that can't do any striking.

A lot of people thought De La Hoya beat Floyd & was robbed by the judges.

Even Floyd's dad said he thought De La Hoya won that fight.

Conor is 5'9. I think Floyd is 5'8. Floyd's frame is also thinner and less heavily muscled than Conor's.

Uncertain as to who the better athlete is. MMA is different with wrestling which leads to MMA fighters developing more core & leg strength than boxers.

Conor is constantly chewing gum during press conferences to exercise his jaw and strengthen it against punches. That's probably something many MMA fighters have never even heard of. Conor's base is boxing and in his early fights his boxing might have been better than it was during his early UFC fights.

Its really hard to make a technical analysis. No one has ever seen Conor box, seriously against a decent opponent and no one has seen a boxer like Floyd seriously box against an MMA fighter, before.

Floyd Mayweather won that fight, go see it again. I doubt Floyd Sr said that his son lost. It may have been when he had beef, I remember during a time Floyd Jr and Sr hated each other so he may have used that close decision to attack his son.

Diego Corrales was near 6 ft and Mayweather won too, and these are real boxers.

I think when Mayweather faces Dela Hoya, Oscar was the biggest draw that time. Of course a lot of people will see that Oscar has won. And If I'm not mistaken, Dela Hoya throws more punches but only a few landed on Mayweather as we all know he is a defensive specialist. While Floyd hit Oscar clean. Diego Corrales was a different ball game, Floyd was at his peak that time and God the reflexes he shows is amazing. Corrales (RIP) was the best super featherweight lineal champion that time and Floyd made him look likes an amateur. That is one of the best performance I have seen Floydie in my memory.

@Baofeng Even Mayweather admits that he was the B side when he faced Oscar Dela Hoya,in almost all of his fights,the general viewers sees the opponent winning but the judges have other score cards and that is what we are seeing for a long time,the trick comes when it comes to strikes landed ,on television we see more punches being thrown but in reality only a few shots really reaches the target when you are against Mayweather,he is out for two years and forty years of age,i am sure his reflexes are not the same and that is what excites me in this fight.

I don't agree on it being the biggest fight, I could think of a huge list of bigger fights between actual opponents rather than this WWE like game, How can a MMA fighter do a boxing match with someone who is so good at Boxing? This match is an offense to boxing and just proves how anything can happen for money/

I consider this as the biggest fight on our time.

And right now they are completely full force on promoting their fight. I don't know if their moves on stage are just scripted.

It's part of the business.

Yes I think this is the biggest fight this year. They are the big name in the boxing sport industry, and indeed crowd are willing to watch for this. Mayweather may be at an advantage of this fight as he is quite popular  and very experienced one. Hope Mcgregor is also motivated because this is his chance to have a record by giving Mayweather a loss. Definitely will be watching this fight.

Whatever it is we already know this fight happens because of money and it could be a scripted fight just to entertain tha fans but I hope it will really happen because I would love to see for the first time an entertaining fight of mayweather.

Well it's commissioned under the boxing official rules of Las Nevas Nevada boxing commission so it's a federated and approved boxing match, it is a real boxing match. We will see if it's a mismatch or not. Floyd may be the best ever, but he is old now at past age 40, let's see how he handles a bigger young guy. He should win but it will be interesting to see.

This is what I've been thinking all the time, everything was staged.

And I'm basing on how they are acting when they are infront of the people during their presscon.

But this is exciting because they are making some noise.

I also believe this was staged. This is like Pacquiao vs Mayweather all over again.
Similar to the pacquiao vs mayweather, they had plenty of drama before they agreed to a fight.
Now this is happening again, and it seems like it is just another one of those mega hyped fights that may not live to expectations.

I don't believed its stage. Those two athletes have big ego's between them. I think the acting was more to do to hype the fight even more. Again, it will break all PPV records and those to two, especially McGregor will he rich as f**k. Maybe we will be disappointed on how the fight goes, but for me its not stage.

I reckon that was only a media gimmick by Floyd Mayweather. Everyone knows he will always be the A side in the boxing world. He has his own promotions company, and he has the connections behind the scenes. There are some who speculate he could be controlling who will referee his fight versus Conor which will be a big influence on the result of the fight.

mayweather always wants to be treated as an important fighter and he loves the hype, so for sure a boring game again coming out from him
he will cover and run the way he fight pacquiao before he won't be aiming to K.O McGregor but just to make sure he will get a lots of money
and he will still in his edge moving away from this game.

Gee i hope Mcgregor knocks that cocky mayweather out in max 4 rounds...have put a bet on it.

I will guess you will have very good odds for betting on Conor.. Hope he knocks Mayweather as well. Good Luck to both of us

It's very tempting to bet on Conor because the odds really give a good payout, maybe Mayweather haters will put their money and also I might consider putting a little amount to bet on Conor just to have fun. I am still confident Mayweather will win but this would be the greatest upset in the history if it happens, Conor will be great so let's give a shot on it.

They are both great in different field but in boxing it is advantage to mayweather as he almost know what kind of his opponent so he can adjust ,Mcgregor i saw on his is not just a boast but a great power so it will be a good matchup power for power .

No. Power for power, connor's got a huge advantage over floyd. But a lot of mayweather's past opponents also have huge advantage over him when it comes to power and they all ended up decorating his unblemished record. It's not about power but about technique and efficiency and floyd has the advantage over connor here no doubt. Though i have to give connor the meat for the promos. Guy knows how to spike the hype up.

I'll get your point just what like i said it is advantage for mayweather in boxing stratedgy .Thinking up on that if his stratedgy didn't work and and a lucky punch have connected to the face of mayweather we will see a winner there , But if the game plan is the same to run and run like mayweather did in his previous fights it will be a boring and more disappointment match.

Mayweather has way too much experience to get into a brawl....boxing is as much of an art as it is a sport.  McGregor doesn't have a chance if he doesn't catch Floyd with a haymaker right away....Mayweather will gauge a range, time him out, and pick Connor apart for the remainder of the fight.  That's Mayweather's form....there won't be a brawl.

Well I guess after this fight you can't call Mayweather "Baby Face" anymore. I'm sure McGregor will do his best to crush this man's ego.

Mayweather needs to find someone who can beat him , he's too dirty in ring. I'll be hoping for that no more baby face memes after their game. McGregor needs to do great in ring to make this happen.many will celebrate if ever happens.
