Conor McGregor V Floyd Mayweather Super-Fight: 5 Positives & 5 Negatives

1. McGregor Has The One Punch Power To Knock Mayweather Out

Conor McGregor likely has one path to victory. It feels nigh on impossible that he's going to outbox Floyd for 12 rounds and win a decision. He's going to have to stop him. Luckily, McGregor has a history of that. Eight of his nine UFC victories have been inside the distance, and all with punches. Be it one punch that slept Jose Aldo, or the combinations he bounced off Eddie Alvarez' head in his last fight, there's no doubt McGregor has enough in his left hand especially, to put anyone to sleep.

It has been confirmed that the fight is going to take place at 154 pounds. The original rumour was that Mayweather would try and drain Conor to as low as 146, torturing him during fight week to make weight, and perhaps depleting him enough for fight night. When it comes to weight cutting, MMA has a much worse culture than boxing. It's big news when a boxer cuts more than ten pounds for a fight. In MMA a ten pound weight cut would likely leave you at a real size disadvantage.

It's clear that while they'll weigh the same on the scales, McGregor will step into the ring the larger man. He has a reach advantage, a height advantage and an overall size advantage. Does McGregor hit harder than some of the boxers Mayweather has fought before? Maybe not, but Floyd hasn't fought many people who will be as big as Conor is on fight night. While McGregor might struggle to hit him, if he does, then something amazing might happen.

So what does it all mean? Hold tight for the final summary...
