Their were so many flaws in McGs boxing game, I quit counting.
No foot work. No snap in his jab, pawing with it. No angles. He looked like a fish out of water to me.

And Mayweather didn't eat every one because he didn't have to. He slipped them because why not? When Conor said he made him a Mexican, he meant that Floyd fought him like a pressure fighter, which is completely unlike how Floyd fights. That's how little respect he had for his power. He walked him down because he knew he couldn't hurt him. He's not JCC who needed to do that to fight in the pocket and win exchanges with his superior chin.

...Nobody else is going to GET that offer.

....the rest is just your opinion.

Bud Crawford has all the tools. Can fight orthodox or southpaw. Time to move up to 147

Truly astounding analysis that Conor McGregor is the biggest draw in MMA.

Who cares.

The bottomline is an MMA fighter with absolutely no experience in professional boxing did pretty well against this boxing era's GOAT.

He didn't do well at all. He's a trained fighter with terrible footwork. Prime Floyd would have knocked him out likely within two rounds. I have a high feeling Floyd dragged it out for show and knowing Conor would have zero conditioning

Even on Saturday you got the feeling Floyd could probably have knocked him out whenever he wanted. He was just staying within his game plan.

I come from a boxing background, don't like MMA, and thought the fight would be over in 4 rounds. But McGregor impressed me. He truly is a physical freak. His arms are like spider arms and he has enough athletic ability & quickness to do some damage. Mayweather is pretty long for 153 but McGregor towered over him in size and length, I didnt expect that. If he focused on it, McGregor would be able to do serious work just by learning how to use his jab effectively. He has some unique physical attributes to work with IMO. I'd like to see him focus on boxing and see what he could do, he'd probably make more money than MMA and it would help revitalize the sport.

I can't fault McGregor for gassing out. Any fighter thrown into that situation under those circumstances would gas out, regardless of conditioning. Adrenaline has a lot to do with it, he was tight even before the bell. There's a reason amateur fighters usually go from 3 round amateur fights and start with 4-6 round pro fights initially. Twelve rounds takes a long time to work up to. So I wouldn't evaluate anything McGregor did after the first few rounds. After that, his power was predictably gone.
