BoxRec

Boxrec must decide...

How can it not be?

Floyd 'all action' Mayweather against Conor 'I'm well hard' McGregor will be the fight of our generation. I will tell my grandkids about this.

FIght of The. . . . Forever
Not a Super FIght
Not an Ultra FIght
It's Super Mega Ultra Hyper Fight

Maybe not history but certainly pre-history.

Are they fighting then?

I haven't heard anything. They kept that quiet.

Is this it till August now? Cluttering the board with endless threads covering every slight variation of opinion regarding Mayweather/McGregor? Does this thread really spark any meaningful discussion at all?

I don't mean to sound gloomy on the hottest day of the year, but... Come on.

I dont think it will live up to expectations. Connor has a punchers chance and Mayweather will be too fast for him. Connor doesnt have the boxing skills and will spend the entire fight chasing Mayweather. It will be similar to the fight Mayweather had with Canelo. Floyd is a very clever man, we all knew he wouldnt retire on 49 -0 but he was never going to take on the likes of Cotto or Pacman again, it had to be a glory fight with the biggest purse ever paid in boxing history. In the lead up to the fight Connor will say the most horrible things he can think of and Floyd will be the most popular fighter ever on the day of the fight. To me its just like a Rocky film or a storyline from a WWE showdown . Mayweather will win the richest fight ever staged and will probably be as famous as Muhammad Ali afterwards.

Best. Fight. Ever.

i personally don't think it will be the best fight in history so I had to vote Yes.

not so sure connor has a punchers chance at all, they all seem like punchers when they are wearing those little mitts in MMA, he is entering a completely different world and I doubt he has enough dynamite in his fists or half decent technique to even remotely trouble Floyd

Power to the sheeple

Sheeple Power!

nice pic ... it seems that absolutely know one gives connor a shot in hells chance. that has to be unprecedented for a big fight, maybe it will be a relative flop of an event?

Lol, even MMA guys don't think he has a chance.

Just a divvy fight if you ask me. I like Conor & respect his skills in his chosen sport but in straight boxing there is journeymen that would get the better of him

Mayweather will play with him & beat him comfortably

Going to earn each other a fair days pay though so fair play to them for that, but that's all this is really, a big money fight

I say no but there is no option for NO its just yes yes and yes

Nice options, it's rubbish ofcourse, it's like putting Valentino Rossy in a F1 car, or Max Verstappen on a motor.

You need a 4th option:

"Only Carlos de Leon v Johnny Nelson will be better".

I can honestly say it's probably gonna be the best Boxing match there's ever been between a Boxer and a UFC Champion.

..I certainly appreciate OP sense of humour
