If Floyd ever got in the octagon with McGregor

Lol Floyd would knock that glassjaw quitter out inside 1. He already got brain damage from boxing gloves, imagine what Floyd would do to him with mma gloves. Conor could die.
 
Each one should have the advantage in their respective sport. That being said, we don't know how fast Floyd could lear the skills to stay on his feet and block kicks. We are assuming he wouldn't be able to learn them, but the thing is: the best thing Conor does is punching. I don't think developing the ability of defending Conor's TD's or kicks is that big of a challenge.

On paper Conor should win. But on paper Conor should have looked stronger and more powerful than Floyd, and he didn't. Conor wasn't able to create the same danger with his fists he was supposed to on paper. A lot of the same people saying Conor would win in 20 seconds are also the same people who said Conor would hurt Floyd if he touched him. They're also the same people who said Conor would be stronger in the clinch. They're also the same people who said that Conor is used to get hit with knees and kicks, so Floyd's pillow fists wouldn't do much damage.

If you put them tomorrow in a cage Conor would easily beat Floyd. If you give Floyd 6, 7 months of hardcore preparation, not so sure. Like i said, it all depends on how fast Floyd would be able to learn. Some people learn incredibly fast. There are people with 2 years of training in a discipline that can beat people who have been training for 10. We just don't know.

the best part was, when floyd outmuscled him in the clinch
<{anton}>
 
Conor would have to carry him to make it last longer than 90 seconds.
 
Conor would probably stand with him for a round or two just to prove a point. Then he would take him down and smash his brains in just to prove another point
 
If Floyd was ever stupid enough to get into the Octagon, it would be an embarrassing, one-sided farce, kind of like when Conor stepped into the boxing ring with Floyd.

6 months isn't enough time to learn the rest of fighting, even if we knew he had natural potential in kickboxing and grappling (which we don't); even the best athletes don't learn that fast, and Floyd is old - that body probably wouldn't hold up spending hours a day grappling.

Grappling?
Step in the ring and I'll punch you in the head a few times and then come talk to me about fucking grappling.

Oh I totally agree, boxing training is brutal (actually all striking training is brutal) - not only the head trauma but the type of cardio needed for it etc. But Floyd is already one of the best boxers of all time and knows how to train safely there - and honestly is so far beyond anyone in MMA that training boxing wouldn't be that big a part of his day, if he were to compete in the UFC. If he started grappling as a new athlete there I think he would find it hard to progress quickly - he would face a lot of strains and sprain - the type of stuff that heals fast when you're in your late teens and early 20s...not so fast when you're in your 40s. It would also limit him in learning kickboxing. Age really limits how much you can train and how fast you can progress.

It would be no different for an elite grappler learning how to strike. It's harder to pick up skills quickly late in your career.
 
Yes, Conor would tap on the mat like that. If he didnt mat tap he would be panic wrasslin within 30 seconds.

I tend to agree.

Reading through the responses, I honestly can't tell if people on this subforum are just messing around or not - I don't come here very much so maybe I don't get the cut of the jib here. Do people actually think that a 40 year old boxer with no prior cross-training would be competitive in MMA? Boxing is a great martial art but is only a tiny fraction of fighting - in fact it is only one component of STRIKING much less the whole takedown and ground game - Mayweather is truly great at his narrow part of fighting but would have a tremendous amount to learn. An upset can always happen whenever you are fighting an elite specialist with a huge skill gap in that area (and has happened before - Aoki, Sylvia/Mercer etc), but it's very unlikely.

If Floyd had 6 months of training he would besmirch Conor. Superior athleticism, visual intelliigence, footwork, cardio, boxing, clinch stength, hand eye coordinarion, the mind game, Floyd really has it all.

WTF. Are you being sarcastic? 6 months is not enough time to train for Kickboxing and BJJ.

He wouldn't last a round, conor has a better chance of landing that left straight, without pillow fists for protection floyd is fucked. But I would have a lot of respect for him for trying.

I would have more respect for Floyd trying mma then when Connor fought a boxing match.

Shame it will never happen though

Boxing is light years away from fighting.

Conor knows not to stand w/ him. He’ll bitch out and take him down right away. If Floyd hit him at will in the boxing ring ,what makes u think he can’t do it in octagon.

Bahahahahahahaha you can’t be this stupid? Conor moves in ties him up and Floyd turns his back on Conor and turtles up like he does in boxing bahahaha gets choked out.

Floyd backs up to the fence covers up and tries to rope a dope gets thai plummed and knee’d to death.

Tries to come forward eats leg kicks (evn bad ones will ruin his day.)

There is a reason why floyd wants 1 billion dorrehs to come face Conor in the Octogon.

And that is Conor would put an asswhooping on Floyd so hard that Floyd would never be the same.

Jesus Christ you boxing guys are sad fucks.
 
Floyd would get dominated probably as clearly as Conor was effortlessly dominated in the boxing ring.
 
Floyd knocks him out in the first exchange and sherdog crashes for 72 hours

Obviously the MMA guy would win. That’s a given. I’m just saying no way will Conor want to stand and get his ass whooped like he did. Gosh u Conor fans think he’s the best thing to sliced bread. There’s a reason he hasn’t fought Edgar n barbosa. First guy would wear him other is a dynamic striker that would KOTFO
