My dad took me to Yankee Stadium to see Basilio vs Robinson at Yankee Stadium
in the 50's so I go way back the three I think are the best I've seen
1) Robinson
2) Duran
3) Salvatore Sanchez
KOBIE'S 5 LEAST FAVORITE FIGHTERS TO WATCH:
1. Evander Holyfield
2. Sugar Ray Leonard
3. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
4. Either Klitschko
5. George Foreman
1) Robinson---Lost middleweight title to pumped up welterweight Basilio. Still one of the greats, though. These old guys had an unbelievable number of fights.
2) Duran---My favorite at one time. Broke my heart when he quit against Leonard.
3) Salvatore Sanchez---I remember this guy and didn't realize he was only 23 when he died.
Funny, since Floyd has beaten a lot of your favorite fighters. Some of those fights pure domination - Arturo Gatti for example.
Did I say Gatti was better than Floyd? I said favorite to watch. Gatti was one of the hardest-working fighters out there, and round 9 of the first Gatti-Ward fight is one of the best rounds you'll ever see. It's like something out of a Rocky sequel.
Forgot, you're a frontrunner. Gatti was 35 when he fought Mayweather.

Correct,
Mayweather was either giving it 70-80% or he was seriously declined due to his old age.
MacGregor learned boxing is not "half fighting." It is an extremely difficult fighting sport.
Wasn't that great of a fight. Credit to McGregor for sticking through ten rounds, but honestly having a UFC fighter take on the best modern boxer in a boxing match is not a fair match at all. At least it was better than Pacquiao fight.
See if any local bars will show it, chances are, some will.
I dont care for either of them but I predict that McGregor gets disqualified for kicking/grappling since he will instinctively revert to it when he cant take it anymore.
Way past his prime best boxer. A young Floyd would have not even been hit once, IMO.
This is my prediction for the fight.
McGregor is going to come out flailing furiously in a hail of punches hoping the quantity of the punches will result in one lucky one catching Mayweather. He won't land anything of note because actual top level boxers have been trying to do that for years and couldn't, let alone a non-boxer MMA fighter.
This will result in McGregor punching himself out fairly quickly and then it will be a boring fight because nothing is exiting about a fight where one fighter has their way with the other just because they are too tired.
Neither of those is true. Mayweather used this sneaky thing called tactics. MacGregor was only going to be dangerous two to three rounds. Mayweather covered up and let him punch. Once he had the patterns and timing down, Mayweather started throwing more, alot of body shots. And waited. Once Macgregor started to get gassed, Mayweather turned it up. Those first 3 rounds where not decline, nor only giving it 70 to 80 %, those where ensuring that he went 50-0.
