    Hell no his accuracy was **** and he got hit way too much against Berto. A close to prime PBF would have absolutely tooled Berto.

    Decent but atleast 2 levels below a near prime PBF.

    I'd say at least 75-80%. But even a 5-20% dip is huge.

    Even if he was shot I'd still favour him over a novice like McGregor.

    By elite boxing levels, he's shot.

    He's 40 and hasn't fought in 2 years.

    However he could be 55 and id still back him to beat McGregor

    Floyd slowing down was visible in his last few fights, which is understandable at his age but he never showed any signs at all of being shot.
    Now after 2 years out at his age it's a possibility he will have slowed more but I doubt it will have a bearing anyway. He is always in shape and is as well preserved as a 40 year old fighter could be.
    McGregor and his arrogant atttude towards boxing is in for a surprise when he realises not everyone can do boxing, and the 'feeble 40 year old ' infront of him is anything but weak and limited. It's called 'the sport of kings' for a reason.

    Floyd's not shot, but if he fights this guy and loses, he will ruin his legacy, so I think it's a big risk. In this case, Floyd will single handily have the worst impact on boxing in history.

    People need to realize that McGregor is a bigger threat than the media is making him out to be. Yes, he's an MMA fighter, but he's known for his control of distance, his timing, and his power.

    Physically, he is the worst possible match up for Floyd. A big southpaw with a longer reach and punching power is a nightmare for a guy like Floyd. It's just that we don't know what kind of skills McGregor has, who will likely also outweigh Floyd by 20 lbs.

    People need to give credit to Floyd for this fight. It really is a big risk. McGregor still does whup people's asses for a living and he's at the highest level in his sport. He isn't affected by the bright lights.

    This will not be an "easy" fight. Floyd deserves credit if he beats McGregor.

    I hoped this fight would never happen ! There are current boxers who would punch holes in McGregor but Floyds lack of KO power means that Connor can go for broke and that makes an upset a possibility! I am not worried about Floyd but I believe the reputation of boxing is on the line .
