I, and many others, are of the belief that the only small chance that Conor has comes from the fact that his style of movement, coming from MMA, will potentially create patterns that Floyd is not trained against, which will potentially create an opening for that "puncher's chance" to get through.
This said, I think Floyd should be devoting at least some of his training against accomplished MMA strikers to give him a look at those movements. Who would give him the best approximation of Conor's movement patterns?
No.

Conor should have vasly in there giving him boxing looks with movement. Floyd should not bring in the dude Aldo did. Noone moves like conor in mma. Floyds best chance for looks is play touch butt in the park.

Lol @ you guys and this nonsense about untrained movements and a punchers chance. If someone said that Floyd could possibly catch Marcelo Garcia in a bjj match by using unconventional movements and positions Marcelo isn't used to seeing giving Floyd a spazzer's chance, then you'd say they were insane

yep
What movement do you think Floyd hasn't seen before? Everyone keeps parroting this point and no one will be specific about it. What specifically does McGregor do that will give Floyd trouble? Stop being vague about "angles"

I told you, ask Mike Winklejohn, I'm not an expert.

Exactly.
It's boxing. It's the most perfected hand game there is, with one of the most perfect practitioners.
Anyone who enters the ring with Floyd can dance around all they want, but at some point they have to enter boxing range to even try to hit him - and there is nothing in that range he's never seen before. If there were some "crazy new technique" in boxing range - allowed for in the rules! - that would work or surprise a boxer, boxers would be using it.
The only small chance Conor has is clipping Mayweather and following up. That's it. Nothing about his style, footwork...nothing. One lucky punch and that's about it.
Which isn't even going to happen.
Anyone who knows anything about pure boxing knows how this fight is going down...but let's listen to the MMA guys on this boxing match. Makes sense.

Well said, sir!
Floyd needs to trane UFC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Needs to brushen up on his sprawl and brawl.

If you're not an expert why do you keep repeating this point like to valid? Winklejohn's explanation is more of the same of what I'm referring to. Vague platitudes. If you have his email I'll happily ask him to specify.

Are you an expert on feminism? If not, why the fuck do you talk about it? If so, what the fuck is wrong with you?
