Watch: McGregor vs Mayweather - who needs who?
Following his well publicised spat with the UFC, Conor McGregor has come out fighting. First explaining the issues he had with UFC hierarchy and then turning his attention to the rumours of a boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather.
There is no doubt that Conor McGregor is the hottest property in combat sport. The hype around round the Irish man is such that even the self-proclaimed GOAT of boxing Floyd Mayweather Jr has jumped on the bandwagon.
Floyd has made no secret of the fact that HE started the rumours of a possible fight with McGregor.
McGregor hits back and claims he has too much size, reach, height and youth for Floyd. Conor claims it would be a 'load off his shoulders' to put down all the other 'spinning' martial arts 'plates' and focus on boxing for a fight with Mayweather. However he expects $100m parity.
Does he deserve it?
Has he got what it takes to outbox the undefeated king of boxing?
My view is depending on when they fight and at what weight, it might not be as one sided as many think...

I have to agree with Max Kellerman; Floyd would destroy Conor in a boxing match, McGregor would destroy Mayweather in an MMA match.
If they used boxing rules, then I don't know if McGregor's skill set would be as good of a match. If they used UFC rules, Mayweather might finally have a hard time dancing out of trouble. They'd never get him to do UFC style, though. Fortunately, Jose Canseco just called and he's available for a lot less.
I think two thing are being overlooked in the McGregor vs Mayweather boxing debate:
Re: When
Re: Weight
All that said I'd expect Mayweather to have too much knowhow and dominate McGregor in a boxing match.
In an MMA fight? Mayweather would stand no chance. Not ever.
