I just don't see that as happening. McGregor has taken knees and kicks and elbows from some of the toughest fighters in his weight class. All to the chin and body. I don't see maywether delivering that kind of power in the first round. It may be enough in 5 or so. But not round 1. Discounting the chin because he is in a different sport is silly on its face.

It doesn't matter how strong of a chin you have if he doesn't have the ability to protect it and every punch he throws would be the equivalent of a Haymaker for a seasoned boxer. He will get tagged repeatedly and have little chance of ever landing a shot. I'm not saying it will be a one hit KO, it will be a completely one sided assault with Floyd lighting him up like the 4th of July

I seriously think you are underestimating McGregor's movement speed, reach, age, physical conditioning, and his chin. He is also at the optimal weight for himself. He isn't going to go in there and be a turtle speed fighter. Mayweather won't be loading up strikes like he is attacking. He is a counter fighter. And trying to come out swinging is going to be the only way McGregor can even have a shot. Maywether isn't that stupid. He will start really landing strikes in round 4 or 5. But we will see.
