Put it like this , Mcgregor isnt use to wearing boxing type gloves and is an mma fighter , Mayweather is an is a professional boxer , both are fighters no doubt , given the fact that its a money thing for both , and most likely its just for that and nothing more , Mcgregor can take a punch thats harder than what you get from the boxing gloves , Can Mayweather ? But can Mcgregor deliver a punch in boxing gloves hard enough to knock Mayweather out ? I doubt it . Can Mcgregor move god enogh to avoid Maywrather in a squared circle ? Maybe , but I think Mayweather will take the fight over Mcgregor since its pure boxing and not mma style fighting no matter how good Mcgregors stand up is since its a diffferent type of fighting all together .
