Probably going to get some slack for this thread. I get that Conor is not a boxer and I'm not saying he would beat Floyd but he does have some clear advantages that I want to point out. I don't think the fight is as stupid as many make out. Conor will bring it and it will probably be more exciting than any other fight Floyd could have. As a floyd and conor fan I wouldn't mind watching it.
Size: Conor fought Nate Diaz at 170lbs and Floyd stands around 155lbs. Conor will most likely come in to the fight 20lbs heavier or more.
Southpaw: Even tho Floyd is undefeated against Southpaws he doesn't do as well against them and this could cause some problems.
Style: Conor doesn't have a typical boxers style that Floyd has been accustomed to kind of like Maidana who gave Floyd many problems in the first fight. I could see Conor fighting like Maidana.
Age: Floyd is 40 and has been retired for almost 2 years. No one knows how good he really is at the moment whilst Conor is bigger, stronger and in his prime.
