Get real man, Conor would destroy Floyd in an mma fight.I actually would give prime Floyd beating Conor in a MMA match. His stand up and defence are that great. In before low kicks... If you think Floyd cant judge distance, circle around and wait for Conor to lose balance after a missed low kick and then swarm him a quick short combo and move out unpunished, you know nothing about Floyd and his exceptional skills.
Prepare to riot, because this will end even lamer than that. Mayweather UD.If it ends in something lame like a Mayweather bodyshot i'm going to be mad. Bloodshed is and should be the only outcome.

I don't know man did you see the article about McG's sparring partners. McG outclasses may in a war taking a UD possibly SD. McG is just too refinedPrepare to riot, because this will end even lamer than that. Mayweather UD.
Cro Cop trained grappling for mma and was used to sweeps and throws from muay thai/kickboxing. Not a good comparison to Floyd, who has no grappling experience/take down defense.Not sure about that. Still have to see a prime boxer as talanted as Maywheater and as great as him gets enough time to practice and get inside the cage.
Kind of hoping Lomachenko goes for it as he has joked about it.
Great kickboxers such as CroCop had done the transition well. I am thinking Saki will do very well as well.
I be seen top boxers trying k1 kickboxing matches just to see them being separated in the clinch and the been beaten with low kicks. Thinking if it was WADO kick boxing rules they may have had a chance for a decision.
He can leg kick pretty well when he needs to.
Mayweather knows how to clinch for boxing. There are no throws or sweeps in a boxing clinch and it does not prepare one for actual grappling from a jiu jitsu artist or wrestler.Kind of not good example with Toney. He was long done with boxing. Over weighted and def not in his prime. He did it for the paycheck. Nowadays boxers also train some grappling to deal with the clinch. I ve seen GGG grapple and dril pushing with the head for example. We know for sure that Loma has grappled. And there are many other examples. Judging by his boxing I can asure you that Maywheater knows how to grapple. He is one of the greatest boxers in the clinch. He just rarelly uses it.

You're underestimating how much training it takes to be effective at grappling or defending against it. There's a reason so many wrestlers can train striking and bjj for a couple years and go on to be very effective at mma.
Boxing and mma are completely different. Floyd going into mma is like a lion going into the ocean to prey on sharks. Would be fun to watch though
Vast majority of the top 10 guys in all weight class wrestled in high school and/or have trained extensively in bjj. They don't brush over that lightly... It is a MAJOR component of mma.Judging by the current champions of UFC, most of them are not really wrestlers or BJJ artists. Sure they have trained these disciplines, but it is not the way they are winning with and their main art. If we examine the top 5 of every weight we are getting split in 50-50. So your argument is not really standing much weight. The same can be said about every stand up fighter it seems, just by training a bit of wrestling and BJJ they are very successful.
In addition keep in mind not a single one of the strikers in MMA is actually a top of the top striker. They are good strikers, but just a few of them may make a career in kick boxing or boxing. So back to my point a pro boxer unique as Maywheater in his physical prime should, given the time to practice at least an year should do fine in the cage.
