I'm wondering how a fight in the octagon between these two would look with the following rules in mind?
"4 ounce gloves, no shoes, 5-five minute rounds in 155 division.
No kicks, no take downs, no elbows, no knees. Certain things will be allowed like the clinch."
Joe Rogan thinks Conor will dominate the fight with these rules, that he'll use the clinch to his advantage. How does that work, he can't elbow or throw knees, why would he dominate the clinch game against Floyd?
Take a look-see at Floyd clinching with Cotto.....
Why would Conor fare any better than Cotto in this type of situation?
i want to see this fight so bad. I can't think of a more exciting match up, well, maybe except for Jon Jones vs Brock..... that too, would be my other dream fight....
Well, Couture was what, 47, when he fought last? So, there's hope...... I guess?to bad brock will be 45 in 2022.

Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that Jonny Bones will fight/make his return before then(2022.)
Because its in a cage n Conor is obviously better in the clinch. Using the fence, Conor will wrassle him like Couture n dirty box him. Plus Floyd has to adapt his style to the cage/octagon shape. Believe it or not that can make a difference and it can show when you’re facing a guy that knows exactly how to use that environment, much like Floyd can use the ring. There’s a lot of factors to shit like this.
just gives Floyd more room to run in.
Not how it works.
Yes, and I think Floyd will also have to adapt to fighting barefoot, I would think it's going to change his footwork a bit and also affect the angles he can throw from and the power he can generate.Because its in a cage n Conor is obviously better in the clinch.
