I don't think there are better conditioned athletes on the planet than truly good MMA fighters. maybe I'm just wishful thinking...but I can't help but think it's not a forgone conclusion that money is just gonna wade thru him. I just don't believe it'd be that easy.

If Floyd still had his speed (hands, feet, head movement), he'll out box Conor with counter punches to an easy decision. That speed was God tier in all time history and I don't think Conor has the boxing skills to compete at that level.
