You know what I'm going Connor in 6 based on a crazy gut feeling. I think Mayweather gets that 1 and goes to sleep.

 

Mayweather said he'd do 4 oz gloves, if he really does that then this is a whole new ballgame.

I hope you don't put any money on your gut feeling. A guy who isn't even undefeated in UFC and who isn't a boxer isn't going to knock out the best defensive boxer of all time. Floyd has been knocked down one time in his entire career. That's crazy.

I'll never put money on combat sports, especially not one like boxing with an extensive history of fixed fights.

 

The thing is Conor is already in Floyds head, and while Floyd is the best defensive fighter of all time he also hasnt fought anyone with the punching power of Conor. One mistake on Floyd's part can get him knocked out.

 

Will Floyd win? Probably, but he wont beat Conor like people think. The most likely outcome is Floyd runs the entire fight and wins.

I think Conor's punching power is overrated and accentuated by the style of boxing that happens in UFC. You won't ever see Floyd leave himself as exposed as the UFC guys that have been knocked out by Conor. He doesn't make mistakes; that's why he's 49-0. And I don't think Conor is in Floyd's head either. Floyd is such an egomaniac that I think that's impossible. It's Floyd's arena and rules. Floyd is used to being the villain too. All of Conor's trash talk is straight out of Floyd's playbook.

49-0 is an irrelevant number to me. He along with most boxing promoters set their fighters up with fights they know they wont lose. I'm a boxing fan, but its a very dirty/shady sport.

 

Did you watch that first press conference? He is definitely in Floyd's head.

I watched it. Conor can say all he wants. Floyd knows he's giving him the biggest payday he'll ever see. That's a competitive mental advantage. Floyd didn't act any differently than he normally does.

Floyd's in trouble money wise with the IRS so you can say Conor is giving him the big payday he needs too. Who hold the mental advantage there? Agree to disagree but Floyd look extremely different than he normally does.

Conor has nothing to lose here. A lot of people don't even expect him to land a punch. Regardless of the outcome he's walking away a winner. Floyd has all the pressure. If he gets beat by an MMA guy there goes his legacy. I won't pretend to know much about boxing, but I do know that regardless of the activity you always have to watch out for the guy with nothing to lose.
