At best, Connor may be at a Golden Gloves level. And probably at the lower end of that spectrum.
There are probably literally 10,000 amatuer fighters in the U.S. alone that would dominate Connor in a boxing match.

Unless there are some shenanigans that were agreed upon prior to the fight, this should be over as soon as Floyd wants it to be.

Floyd could knock Connor out in less than a minute if he literally did no training, woke up and rolled out of bed and into the ring.
But that's only if he wants to.

This fight is (hilariously) going to generate so much money, I gotta believe both camps have staged something so that a 2nd fight will transpire.
In a straight-up , honest boxing match, this fight is over before the opening bell has stopped vibrating.

Come on man.

Now Conor cant even beat an amateur fighter? LOL.

I felt the same way when James Toney fought Couture in the Octagon but that was for a valid reason. Toney had never grappled a day in his life. So I knew that he would immediately get taken down and submitted.

This is different. Conor has boxed. He's been training in boxing for over 14 yrs. People act like all MMA strikers do is throw elbows and kicks during sparring. He knows head movement. He knows footwork. Is he as good as a top level professional boxer....**** no but he isnt a novice either.

There will be no shenanigans. Floyd loves his undefeated record more than his kids. He isnt about to risk that for another payday especially when he's making 200 plus mill in this fight. If Floyd wins, it will be because he is a elite boxer who was fighting a first time professional. If Conor wins, it will be because he caught Floyd and Father Time weakened Floyd's chin.

Lets stop it with this "Floyd could knock him out in less than a minute stuff." Floyd has shown nothing in his career that supports that. Conor has a heck of a chin. He's never been KO'd while fighting some of the hardest hitting 145 and 155 fighters in the sport.

I'm not saying Floyd cant KO him but he isnt going to run over Conor simply because he is a boxer.
