Floyd should embarrass Conor no question. Conor will probably chase Floyd around but not be able to catch him, and be gassing pretty bad by the 5 or 6th. 3 or 5 years ago, this fight wouldn't even happen as it wouldn't even be close.
But now Floyd is 40 and retired, and Conor is 28 and hungry, and I always pick the young guy in any fight where one guy is in his 20s and one is over 35 The first thing that seems to go is defensive speed and ability to take a punch. Conor has shown his speed and timing are on a whole different level than elite MMA fighters. He might not be a boxer, but his punches have power, and it only takes one or 2 to change the look of a fight.

I'd agree with you if they were glove-less or wearing MMA gloves. Fighting with boxing gloves as opposed to MMA gloves it's going to take a lot more then a few well landed punches and there is no fighter more elusive then Floyd. Mayweather is used to taking a 100+ shots a fight from guys who hit harder and are a lot better at landing punches then Connor is.
This fight is what it is, a cash grab for both fighters. I find Mayweather boring AF so I hope I'm wrong and McGregor somehow does the impossible stunning the world.
