    I won't be surprised at all. McGregor is good boxer by MMA standarts, but very poor boxer compared to any top-50 fighter in any weight in boxing.

    Here's McGregor getting schooled in sparring by boxrec #40 WW, Chris van Heerden:

    IF he has any boxing matches before a huge cash in I think they will be the type of opponents Kimbo Slice was feasting on. If he wants to build a record it won't be too difficult to do.

    Its more the rules he would have to adjust to . His striking is good but pro boxing has different mechanics . Cant see a McGregor /Mayweather type match more than publicity stunt for $ if it took place. Im not sure he beats Mayweather Sr. tbh.

    Don't tell that to these MMA fans. Some of them think McGregor has a legitimate chance.

    if he fought mayweather it would only be fair to have hybrid rules. No takedowns/grappling but allow kicks or something like that. there is absolutely no point having an mma guy fight a world champion boxer with complete boxing rules.

    As much as I would be surprised by a world level boxer getting his ass handed to him by a mediocre MMA fighter.
    The sports are very different.

    Floyd vs McG would be a joke in either sport.

    Im more into MMA , i only follow certain weight classes in boxing but even i have 3x the boxing skills he does and pose much bigger k.o power . McGregor would get to mid level rank 50 and up guys .,he wouldn't have a successful record if he fights true skill.

    I'd be surprised if he wasn't destroyed by a decent prospect.

    So your above mid level top 50 then as you say?

    If you posses x3 power and boxing skills of McGregor

    But you never fought pro and had some am experience.

    Big shout that bro!
