Mayweather vs McGregor: Conor McGregor has advantage 'on paper'

Adjust Comment Print

"I think he can give Mayweather trouble but I think Mayweather wins and I think he better win, because if he doesn't, he is letting boxing down". It's the whole unknown is why everyone wants to go and see it. Because I owe the public for the Pacquiao fight.

The biggest fight of the year is set to go down on August 26th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"There is no way McGregor can defeat Mayweather", Aldo said.

Mayweather added: "I'm older". McGregor, the UFC lightweight champion, will be making his professional boxing debut against Mayweather. So perhaps it was with half an eye on his bank account that Mayweather said he believes his opponent has the edge on paper.

"He's a lot younger, so youth is on his side", he said.

"I'm not the same fighter I was two years ago", Mayweather told ESPN.

Police found Woods stopped on the side of a Palm Beach-area road in his Mercedes-Benz at about 3am on May 29. It's not clear how he damaged the vehicle .

"I'm not the same fighter I was two years ago". And I'm in my 40s.

And, once Alvarez was quizzed about the Mayweather vs McGregor clash, his promoter Oscar De La Hoya was quick to jump in and turn the attention back towards his fighter's upcoming bout. "I used to have a 90% knockout ratio", Mayweather said. It's obvious I'm slipping a little bit to even let a fighter like that go the distance with me. "Something has taken a toll on my career". Mayweather won the fight by unanimous decision but was panned by fans and critics for the lack of excitement.

"This can't be a defensive fight".

He continued: "I didn't say I couldn't fight".

Usually, when going into the fight, Mayweather talks about himself. "Since they weren't pleased with the Pacquiao fight, they're going to be pleased with this fight right here".

The comments are in stark contrast to the noises Mayweather made during the pair's world tour last month when they exchanged insults in cities from Los Angeles to London, and he promised to beat McGregor easily.
