The common opinion when it comes to Conor McGregor boxing Floyd Mayweather is that McGregor doesn’t stand a chance in the boxing ring. Most believe it will look completely lopsided and that Floyd will dance circles around him, and they certainly aren’t being far fetched with their assessment.
However, MMA star Chael Sonnen believes that Mayweather will need to completely dominate and stop McGregor very quickly or the entire sport of boxing will take a hit.
“The public dismisses boxing as a fringe, fake, and phony sport, and the public may just be right! The fact that you can take a guy that has never lost in professional boxing and put him in there with a guy who has never done professional boxing and have a lot of people including people in the industry of boxing think that the guy who has never done it is going to beat your undefeated greatest of all time is an embarrassment for the sport.”
“If Conor McGregor lasts 30 seconds with Floyd Mayweather it discredits boxing, and I think he will. If Conor McGregor makes it out of one round with Floyd Mayweather, the entire sport of boxing is a fake, phony myth. And that’s the kind of pressure they’re under.”
