Anyone who thinks Connor WILL win probably just hates Floyd. Anyone who thinks Connor CAN win is assuming that MMA, or UFC, rules will play a factor in this match. I haven't seen anyone post about the actual structure of this fight whether it's traditional boxing setting, (only using gloves), or if it will be more like MMA. Either way would be a major advantage to the respective fighter known for that style.
If Floyd had to fight MMA and McGregor had the option to fight him on the ground, even though McGregor is not known for ground and pound fighting...FLOYD WOULD LOSE. Of course all of this relies on McGregor's ability to actually catch Floyd.
I agree with you @Steemsports on one point, if Floyd beats McGregor in a way where McGregor has viable attempts at getting Floyd on the ground and fighting an MMA style of fight, if Floyd still manages to prevail, it will be justification for all the Brazilian Jujitsu fanatics to hit the boxing gym.
Sure MMA is a more balanced fighting form, but if you can still be the biggest bad ass on the planet without mastering the art of having another man's balls in your face, than you are going to go that route especially if Floyd can prove being excellent enough at the sweet science (boxing) allows you to ignore MMA altogether.
A lot of McGregor fans think it will go like this
But it will more than likely go something like this
All that said, if McGregor does win, I estimate Boxing becomes the new baseball, where @steemsports articles are the only proof the sport still exists. In fact, I look at all of those baseball posts as fan fiction.
