When I was a little kid (around 7 or so), I watched the fights every Friday night. The Friday Night Fights.

I wanted to be a fighter.

Here's a premiere to one of the great fights of this century.

Whenever I think about boxing I think of Cassius Clay dribbling in his oatmeal.

Depends on how the refs handle it. Mayweather is too quick and if it’s just boxing he will dominate.

McGregor needs a complete brawl - closer the better - to have a shot.

I am heavy into MMA.

This is not a great fight. This is a promotion - theater.

Unless McGregor gets incredibly lucky he is not going to win a boxing match against arguably the greatest defensive boxer of all time.

On the street Mayweather would last about 30 seconds against McGregor.

My money's on McGregor.

His ancestry can be directly traced to Celtic warriors.

Lefties are always hard to fight. But, Money is one of the best defensive guys. I think Connor will be surprised how fast Mayweather is.

Mayweather handled Canelo pretty easily and he is a bigger guy than Connor, and a harder puncher.

But, anything can happen in a fight. btw, I'm looking forward to the Canelo vs. GGG later this year.

“Mayweather is too quick”

Mayweather is forty years old and encrusted with ring rust. Other than that, I don’t have a clue.

Without a doubt, his ancestry will determine the outcome. Judas Priest!

Whenever I think about Cassius Clay, I remember his overwhelming victory over Sonny Liston back in February, 1964, prior to the passage of the Civil Rights act of 1964.............When blacks were still considered second class citizens in the south.

The greatest article I ever read about boxing was by Bert Sugar in his book "On Boxing" and was about Sonny Liston and the fight with Ali. Here it is in Google Books: Bert Sugar on Liston v. Ali

I remember his fight against Ken Norton in the San Diego Sports Arena. Norton broke Ali’s jaw (according to Ali) and won the fight.

Mayweather didn't impress me in the Manny Pacquiao fight.

I think Conor wins with a knockout in the middle rounds, as his fast pace and bred-in-a-cage attack ferocity surprise Money and his guard is overwhelmed by Conor's odd southpaw and switch stance technique.

If it’s a boxing match, McGregor will hit the mat by the middle of the first round.

Nothing on a human moves faster than a boxer’s fists. He’ll never know what hit him.

Mayweather will dance with McGregor for 8 rounds and throw a final punch.

Boxers and MMA and do not belong in the same ring.

Mayweather and McGregor are just good promoters.

Ali the traitor and Frazier the patriot had the last excellent fight. Frazier took it personal that his “friend” Ali stabbed in the back which why he extended the punishment for 15 rounds.

What boxers can beat the 40 year old Mayweather today?

LOL!

YOU check your history bro, you think the FBI under LBJ and the Democraps were more trustworthy when dealing with an uppity black boxer who opposed the Vietnam War?

documents released to The Washington Times under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that the FBI suspected the fight may have been fixed by a Las Vegas figure tied to organized crime and to Liston.

Never substantiated!

But then again, it's the seriousness of the charge that really matters, right?..........LOL!

As a side note, modern day Democraps claim that the Russians helped President Trump win the presidency........Must be true.

McGregor agreed to a boxing match is my understanding. Not a good move, if so.

This is more WWE than boxing. It's simply a ploy to make money. The fight will last until Mayweather decides those paying have received enough entertainment. Disgusting.
