    No, it takes a long time to become an elite boxer. Conor Vs Floyd would be a mismatch and a joke. Hell Conor probably couldn't beat the top 50th boxer on Boxrec, let alone Floyd Mayweather.

    No MMA fighter can win against a boxer in a boxing match but many boxers could beat MMA fighters in a MMA match.

    There is no denying that he has a very good initial skillset to work from...but it would take time. Attacks from the opposition would come at different angles that McGregor is used to. Can he fight on the inside? If a MMA fighter got close it usually turns into a hug fest, so would McGregor have the tools to box inside?

    One thing is for certain...he would be a drawcard.

    He might win the WBF or IBO title vs Jojo Dan/Frankie Gavin/Kevin Bizier but those guys are bums.

    I'm thinking Carson Jones would annihilate McGregor though

    This is nothing more than posturing on his part... He's comfortable where he is.

    Malignaggi after calling him out. I think that fight would go 12 rounds unless mc gregor could knock him out. Malignaggi has feathers in his fists and a glass chin. Would be a good mark to start off with.

    I think it would really depend on McGregor's chin and his heart because he's definitely gonna be taking a ton of shots. I think he could probably take a few carefully matched fights. But, his weight puts him in pretty dangerous waters boxing wise.
