Was thinking it might be cool if they did some kind of modified rules to make it more competitive. Part of me thinks that's a good idea but part of me thinks maybe it waters the whole thing down (and ruins it for boxing purists). Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on the idea.
Idea 1: Kickboxing
Making it kickboxing rules would even the playing field a bit.
Idea 2: MMA/Boxing Hybrid
This idea may benefit both fighters. It would protect Floyd's undefeated record in boxing and it would give Connor a chance to win. I was thinking they could do alternating 2 minute rounds with modified open finger gloves (slightly more padding than MMA gloves). Make round 1 anything goes (MMA style). If Floyd survives the 2 minutes it then goes into his world for the next round (Boxing style with the same modified gloves). Then if Connor survives it goes back to MMA stlye (and so on and so on for about 8 rounds).
Thoughts?

Floyd is the guy that argues over 6 pounds for like 5 months.
He isn't taking a chance with kicks.
Floyd is never going to accept a kickboxing bout.
Boxing rules, but 5x5 in a cage with MMA gloves is the best you'd ever get.
Why not have a match where each does their discipline?
Floyd can box, Conor do MMA.
What does Floyd have to worry about? According to most pro boxers a boxer would win in a fight.
Zero chance Floyd does anything other than boxing. He's not THAT dumb.
ausgepicht - Why not have a match where each does their discipline?Floyd already said he'd lose in Conor's sport, wake up.

Be happy if they actually have a boxing match against each other
If anything other than boxing is allowed, it would be a very short affair.
