Looks like this deal is getting close. Boxing match...who do you have?
Mayweather has the boxing experience. McGregor has the youth. Both are talking serious shat. Could be a record setting money fight.

Mayweather may literally kill him.

I don't think this actually ever happens. A lot of talk at this point, and I don't think UFC wants this to happen. If it does, Mayweather would clown him.

It will happen, but it will be just like retooc said

By running around the ring rabbit punching and holding?
IF they fought MMA McGregor would win in a matter of
seconds and I think he can hold his own in the boxing ring with em for a few rounds.

This fight will be a stupid overhyped rip-off.
I'm an old man and I could beat McGregor in boxing.
Most MMA fighter are really lousy boxers with terrible footwork.
Mayweather will knock him out early in a total mismatch.
Fans who think McGregor will beat Mayweather are probably the same ignoramuses who though Ronda Rousey was invincible.

Can't disagree with this.Mayweather would get his arse handed to em by Hagler,Leonard and even Duran.
As overhyped sports "legend" amd world champion as I can remember.

Hagler maybe, but Hagler was a career middleweight so that fight never would have happened. Duran might have swarmed him and got some licks on him like Maidana in their first fight, but that fight could go either way. Same with Leonard: their styles are so similar that fight would almost certainly be close on points and go either way.
I 100% agree that Mayweather is a tremendous a-hole, but saying he's not a legendary boxer just doesn't agree with his record and who he fought. Yes, people will bring up the Pac fight happening too late (and I agree, it did), but people tend to focus on that one fight and forget that:
- Mayweather made Juan Manuel Marquez (who knocked Pac out in their fourth fight and is the other great lightweight/welter of the era) look like an amateur when they fought;
- Mayweather pretty much ended Ricky Hatton's career (he was undefeated when they met, Mayweather knocked him out in the 10th round); and
- Mayweather holds victories over both the current lineal middleweight champion and the previous middleweight champion.
Besides Pac (and the fact that fight happened late is not 100% on Mayweather either), Mayweather has taken on all comers and beaten them all (most soundly).
The same folks that shite on Mayweather are the same people that don't like Tiger Woods: they dislike the personality and they use that as an excuse to argue that he's not one of the best ever despite a record that clearly indicates otherwise.

Have no dislike for either or their personalities and I think Tiger has a far better claim to sports greatness.
Never liked Mayweather's style or his skills and he would have been just another good fighter in early to mid 80's.Kudos to him for parlaying his above average skills into millions.

6lb difference in between Lt MW and MW and Duran came up to fight Hagler.Fight wouldn't go either way especially since Hagler was a southpaw.Id give Floyd a much better shot vs Leonard.I think Duran as well Hearns
would get the better of Mayweather. This guy nails it

This may have been true 10 years ago but it is not at all the case now. Have you even watched MMA in 15 years? If you're an old man then you couldn't even carry McGregor's spit bucket.

This is true, in fact Mcgregor said in his press conference that good buds "couldn't hold my fooking spit booket"

If McGregor's plan is to try to out-box Mayweather, yeah, he'd probably lose. But only a fool plays to his opponent's strength.

So you are saying he is a fool for trying to box a boxer.

I don't think this fight will ever happen, but if it does, Mayweather will just dance around for 12 rounds and do enough to win the decision. Will be a snooze-fest. 
Posted on 3/20/17 at 12:22 am to ugastreaker
I'd be more interested in both of them sitting in a ring and passing a book back and forth "popcorn" style and the first one to stutter 12 times loses.

If he tries to fight him in a technical fight, yes. If he can turn it into a brawl, maybe not.
But realistically, it should be a two-fight deal: one boxing, one MMA. It would be fun to watch Mayweather try to figure out how to grapple.

How about a drinking contest?

Impossible. Money doesn't brawl.
