    That wouldn't surprise me in the least.
    Of course if that circus show actually happens, it should be an exhibition and nothing more.

    wait there I those on there that actually think Mcgregor can win?

    C'mon Mcgregor would struggle vs Andre Berto.

    He has zero chance

    Not impossible, but highly improbable! Mcgregor has a punchers chance and that's it, but it's still a chance. Throw in FM's age and inactivity and the possibility gets better, still slim. On a scale of 1-20, 20 being CM winning, I give CM a 2.5 chance. If FM was 5 years younger a .25 chance.

    Why so many people are against this match?****ing relax and enjoy your life.fighting is the only sport who everybody can practise.and you can find out how tough your body is.

    Why everybody cares about rankings etc..it's boxing entertaiment and prize fighting.

    I wonder how in the earth boxing fans are so sensitive and almost like bitches..and still they support this brutal sport..

    Floyd is retired and Conor is MMA fighter.is not have no meaning on yours precisious WBA,WBC etc rankings..Conor is not taking anyone place.FLOYD IS RETIRED.

    Okay now i have to stop.just speechless how people are ******ed sometimes.this match will be one of the biggest ever.like it or not.

    am i the only one who is interested to see something new?

    and altought different sport.but i'm big basketball fan..but it's have evolved and changed so much.just in last 20years..Jordan is GOAT.but insert Jordan and the bulls randomusly in modern NBA and they get crushed.mainly because how the game have changed.no more traditional big mens..many teams have none.you have to shoot the 3 ball and run..you play slowly and use 2pointers and big mens like old days..you will lose.

    why boxing can't evolve?why you have to fight same stupid style from about 60's when it started.this going back to my previous post.

    Conor fighting Floyd is fresh breath of air. And the whole world is interested on it.because it's something new.

    Boxing fans seems to thing it's their sport.and only hardcore fans are entitled to their opinions. NO boxing and fighting is for everybody. And you are here the small minority who are against this match.almost the whole world wants to see it.mostly these hardcores are the only ones crying and being so sensitive about it.

    You DKSAB, plain and simple. People who think Conor has good boxing are people who think boxing is only about throwing punches at each other until someone falls down and don't understand the complexity of it. Conor never boxed, he was only throwing punches in MMA, an entirely different sport than boxing.

    Anyone can look good in the eyes of dumb casuals if he's matched up correctly. If I had shown clueless people like you videos of me sparring against people with less experience than me I would look like a killer too. Maybe I should challenge Usyk by your logic?

    And how the hell is Conor this unpredictable fighter now when he is a totally robotic low output southpaw counter puncher? What the hell does he have to do with Hamed and Jones who are totally different types of fighters? Conor is slow as molasses and has zero athleticism. LMAO this fight brings out the worst from the dumb casual fans.

    There's nothing entertaining about this fight for intelligent people, people who like this fight are dumb morons who like things like WWE and UFC. I'm entertained by real competition not by trash showbiz entertainment.

    I don't want to see it, but I am interested in it. I will watch if it happens. Definitely wouldn't watch it ahead of GGG vs Canelo or anything like that.

    Guess it is what they call morbid curiosity. Kind of like Mayweather vs Pacquiao. jk

    You didn't seem to understand my post.Conor is not a boxer yes.he is a professional fighter. Who can use every part of his part for fighting.

    and did i mention something about timing,movement and all of those things.100% not only throwing your hands.

    you maybe be a amateur boxer or something?but how the hell you learn anything new if your mind is so limited?

    and yes you can challenge Usyk.but just how you said it you will lose.otherwise you could have had a change..

    and robotic left hand?and nothing like Hamed or Jones..okay whatever.

    but yes,i not argue anymore.you can't think out of the box and think because it's boxing you have to be boxer to win.Conor is MMA fighter who only boxes and have great idea how to use timing distance movement etc..

    every Floyd fan says most important thing is to hit and not to get hit..

    and it STARTS from the movement,timing,accuraccy.and in the end it's also the most important thing.

    And if remember correct.there have been professional boxers(not world champions) in ufc and mma.who have been outclassed on the feet against MMA fighter.and MMA fighter have used mainly his hands.Marcus Davis was one of the boxers.was something 17-3 or something like that on boxing..was good in stand up.but not this mythical undefeated boxer god who beats you 100-0 everytime..

    you could be a **** poor boxer.but if you have no problem taking a punch.have power and stamina..have good movement and understanding of timing and shot placement..you can do great.oh.that sounds almost a boxer...and like Conor..

    but yes i'm the one who DSKAB or something...

    what the hell you do if you have great jab,cross and have great package for that..you still have to know how to move your body and when you use those attacks and in what angles.and that's a tricky thing...what i have seen.that's a big problem for lot of boxers and fighters on general..

    you have to flow like a water...boxing fans say boxing it's only hands...no it's not.it's everything how your body moves..

    Even if you can't fight at all.it will go you a far if you are not affraid of punches.you can move your body.have great understanding of movement and timing.those attributes are so underrated it's comical.all the time hear oh it's boxing blaah blaah..no it's not.it's a chess game how you move your body and what places you put yourself into.

    Conor doesn't present anything new to boxing. His boxing techniques are very basic and are nothing that we haven't seen million times already. The reason why he looks good is because his opponents have no idea how to box and don't even know how to use a jab but just spam power hands. And since when does Conor have a chin or stamina? He was completely gassed against Nate Diaz twice despite being a low output fighter.

    And you have no clue about boxing, it's obvious. You talk as if all boxers have some similar style and Conor is something different while in reality there are plenty of different styles in boxing and guys like Floyd have seen them all during their fights, training and sparring.

    You're just another fool who fell for the stupid hype.
