    Connor got no chin. He’s got a good mma chin, but not a good boxing chin. Same for his power.

    Personally I have huuuuge doubts this happens. I think the people around McGregor are too smart to allow this and even if they did approve, I highly doubt Dana himself would allow him to. Hes got limited number of fights left with Conor and I simply dont see him risking him vs a faded Pac.

    That all being said... I would absolutely love to see this fight get made.

    Pac by stoppage if it happens. Conor doesnt have the fitness to last the distance with even this version of Pac, imo.

    Total miss match. Conor ain't Juan. Manny does a Hatton job

    Nice retirement pay cheque for Manny.

    Pac loves a scrap and will do a number on him big time

    I've friends who are MMA fans who think Conor could pick up a world title. He wouldn't win a domestic title.

    Call me crazy, but I'm picking the professional boxer against the non-professional boxer. Pac won't carry him in a sparring session like Floyd did either.

    Are we talking about a boxing match here, not MMA? If so, Manny demolishes him in such a gristly fashion that calls are sparked worldwide for this silly crossover trend to end.

    McGregor's size might actually trouble pac for about 4-5 rounds imo. He weighs about the same as Jeff Horn.

    I'm surprised about Pac signing with that company though, i thought he was with Haymon/PBC.

    Good point. He will finish McGregor though too much power and speed

    Shhh don't tell that to PBF haters who seem to think getting a massive payday from a easy nights work is a crazy idea. Any boxer with common sense would fight take the fight. I just find it funny that Pac fans and PBF haters bashed PBF for taking the Conor fight.

    Doesn't White get a nice % of Conor's purse? And if they co-promote it he would get a cut there as well. I see it being a win win for White.

    Pac is a nice guy I could see letting him stay around and play with him for 3 rounds or so laughing in the ring and stuff but after that he would go to work and get him outta there.
