After what seemed like an eternity of speculation and angst, the date has finally been revealed! Come August 26^th, the world is going to be glued to their television sets and monitors to witness one of the most unorthodox boxing matches in the history of boxing. Floyd Mayweather who is widely renowned as one of the best technical and defensive boxers the sport has ever seen will be fighting the outspoken and un-bashful mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor.

In his own discipline, McGregor is unquestionably a very successful fighter that has risen to the top of the ranks in recent years. The now 28 year old McGregor has 18 knockouts to his name of the 24 opponents that he has come up against. However, things are not going to be the same this time around, McGregor is not going to be fighting in the Octagon, but rather in a boxing ring and will be fighting by the rules of pure boxing which his opponent is very well versed with.

Floyd Mayweather has come out of retirement for this fight and is one of the best boxers of all time. He has a record of 49-0, of which 26 are knockouts. Will an MMA fighter be able to outdo one of the best boxers of all time at his own sport? Let’s see what the experts have to say…

Tyson Fury, who is a heavyweight boxer himself, is one of the few who thinks McGregor can actually win this fight. In fact, not only believes McGregor will win the fight but is confident that McGregor will knockout Mayweather in the first round. This seems a little far fetched, but maybe Fury see’s something the untrained eye does not.

Contrastingly, Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya see the whole fight as a kind of circus and don’t give McGregor any chance. Likewise, former two division UFC champ Randy Couture and famous boxing coach Angelo Reyes, are in agreement and don’t think that someone as inexperienced in boxing such as McGregor can actually take on a boxer with the experience, technical ability and reflexes of a high quality boxer, let alone a legend such as Floyd Mayweather.

Just throw it on the pile of talents and career options for the Irish MMA champion. There is no shortage of these options. He doesn’t need this options, he just has them. The success is almost overwhelming.

As McGregor heads into Saturday’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, it seems he is already towering over a second sport as well.

While holding court with a lucky band of reporters recently, per a Saturday report from Alexander Lee of MMA Fighting, McGregor offered free advice to some of the sport’s top stars. And if we know anything about McGregor, we know how wise they would be to heed that advice.

First up in the free workshop—none of these other boxers were there, by the way—was Canelo Alvarez, current Ring magazine middleweight champion. Also in his sights was Gennady Golovkin, the fearsome knockout artist who happens to be facing Alvarez in September.

“Who else is in today’s game? Canelo and Golovkin,” McGregor said. “I’m not really too much of a fan of either of those. I think Canelo’s a little bit stuck, a little bit flat on his feet. When I watch footage of him, I see him just getting peppered, he has no feet under him.

“Golovkin I think came to camp for this preparation badly out of shape. I’m looking at him badly out of shape up in Big Bear [California] and I just see a drained individual.”

Perhaps the fighter who came out the worst in McGregor‘s breakdown was Manny Pacquiao, the past-his-prime Filipino who just lost an upset bout to virtual unknown Jeff Horn.

“Pacquiao wouldn’t be a bad [matchup] because he has a name,” McGregor said. “Look what happened to him in that last fight. He got mauled. He got absolutely mauled in that fight. People were crying ‘big robbery,’ I didn’t see no robbery in that fight. I saw a man that just got mauled in a fight.”

Sorry, guys. Looks like none of you will be enjoying a red undergarment night anytime soon.

“None of those names interest me at this present time,” McGregor said. “Like I said, I’m facing the god of boxing at the moment. [Mayweather] is supposedly the God of boxing and he could have stayed the God, he could have rode off 49-0. Instead, now I am here, and now I am the God of boxing.”

Any questions? I didn‘t think so.

By the way, was there anyone who gained McGregor‘s favor during the course of this discussion? Rejoice, Vasyl Lomachenko, Guillermo Rigondeaux and Gervonta Davis. You made the cut.

McGregor puts his skills to the test August 26 against Mayweather in Las Vegas.
