My humble opinion is to the untrained eye it might look like a run and hide, duck and jive kinda of match for May, but remember that boxing is about lungs and defense as much as it is about skill and punching. Boxers have to be much faster and have much MUCH more stamina than MMA fighters and I've seen McGregor gas in second rounds of MMA fights. 15 minutes vs your peers and fighters of your caliber and fighters you are somewhat much better than vs 36 minutes of boxing vs the greatest boxer, (arguably ever) is much different.
There's a huge percentage of natural talent that comes into play here as well as training that you add on top of that. Let's say that ideally both fighters are in the same exact shape and train to the exact same standard and perfection.
Which fighter has the edge when it comes to natural boxing talent?
There's a reason you have to bet $550 on Mayweather just to win $100.

I agree with this pretty much spot on. I do give McGregor a punchers chance, bc the man does pack some power. However that is also with 4 oz gloves. Mayweather fights to win, and his style of winning is very technical. I mean you have a fight that basically comes down to this.
One of if not the best technical boxer of all time fighting a guy who has never boxed professionally or amateur in his life. If McGregor has any chance, IMO he will have to do it in the first 4 rounds. I don't think he has the stamina to go all 12.
Basically I see McGregor maybe tagging Mayweather once, but then punching himself out trying to finish him by throwing wildly
