i think it'll make for a better fight! They are both in their prime, identical weight, one is a legit Irish while the other is a look a like Irish
Mayweather stops McGregor but probably after three or four rounds and with the ref or his corner pulling him out rather than Mayweather getting a clean KO. Canelo does to McGregor what he did to Khan but in the very first round.
McGregor is going to get made to look like an idiot either way. He's a good MMA fighter, but he's not going to morph into an ATG boxer over night - which is what he'd need to be to make any dent in Floyd, Canelo or whoever. And Conor knows this. You think he truly believes he has a chance against Floyd? If he thought he could switch to boxing he'd have challenged someone relevant, not a retired version of himself - i.e. a money-obsessed douchebag who loves the high life. It's just a scam money making fight for both of them. Conor started calling out Floyd because he knew Floyd is on his level in terms of his mentality on money-making; he knew they'd both make it huge, make mad money and get out.
Yeah, but no one knew anything about Ivan Drago before he took on the ATG semi-retired Apollo Creed, and look what happened there!
