    He didn't carry him. Floyd got tagged numerous times, so he took his time and wore McGregor down. There were many times where Floyd looked pissed because McGregor was outboxing him.
    But in the third or fourth Floyd started smiling because he knew he had the fight in the bag.

    Floyd wasn't outboxed because he didn't box McGregor. AT ALL. He marched forward with a high guard and took some shots from a guy who didn't know how to properly punch.

    If McGregor had actually legitimately "outboxed" Floyd, he would have set up his next boxing match already because it would mean that he could beat some 5-10 ranked guys.

    Now you are talking about something you know nothing about.
    McGregor was exceptional at controlling the distance and he found openings to take advantage off. This why Floyd started walking him down, because outboxing him from a distance was a difficult.
    And Floyd quickly figured out everything McGregor did. But those opening rounds were McGregors because he outboxed Floyd. (There was a brilliant video on Youtube showcasing every combination and punch McGregor landed, and how Mayweather adapted. )

    And McGregor has a UFC contract, which he has been renegotiating. And why would he fight some random top contender in boxing? He is a proven draw in MMA and he has many options there.

    No, just stop it. McGregor was only allowed to do what Floyd allowed him to do.

    McGregor turned Paulie and Pacquiao down for offers to fight in a boxing match. WHY? Because he knew that his showing against Floyd meant nothing. Paulie would outbox him. Pac would kill him. A Paulie fight would be big. A Pac fight would be gargantuan. The narrative would be that he gave Floyd fits and as you say, outboxed him at times.

    What's McGregor doing in MMA right now? Nothing.

    He could have put McGregor's lights out in a Rd if he wanted.
    But chose to drag it out to appear less deprecating.
    As for the OP.....
    No way Floyd takes ANY fight with 5 weeks, and certainly not at 160.

    If it was 8 wks, and GGG accepted the exemptions, signed the NDAS, and accepted the 154.1 catch weight and the 90/10 split we'd have a fight

    Please, it was clear in the early round that Floyd was bothered by him and he had to change his approach. Floyd let him hit with all those punches? GTFO.
    (But after 4 its was all Floyd and he outclassed McGregor)
    McGregor is/was renegotiating his UFC deal. The same contract that wont allow him to just run around and continue his boxing career.

    When I say allow, I meant Floyd didn't bother with his usual game plan of laying back, reading, potshotting. countering. Not that he deliberately gave free shots.

    It’s not even fair,was never fair.have you seen how small Floyd is lol.
    He’s not some God that can defy the laws of nature,Canelo had to go on PEDs for years to “grow” into the solid mass that fought Golovkin.
    Come to think of it anyone noticed how quiet it’s been lately from Isal,Shadow and co on the Canelo front?

    Okay. True. But he didn't bother with it because it wasn't working. He abandoned it after the opening rounds, because McGregor had the reach advantage and was landing punches.
    Like i said, Floyd figured him out and took a different approach. Even McGregor commented on it saying he wasn´t expecting Floyd to come forward in a high guard.
    "I made turned him into a Mexican" :lol:

    2 rounds might be a bit quick. I see FM hanging around until mid fight. Floyd's D will get him into the mid stage of the bout.
