Yeah, Floyd need to knock him out to "win."
Man, the more I see this, the more I know that Floyd is genuinely scared of McGregor in real life.
Imagine if Victor Ortiz, or Berto, or Maidana did this, you think Floyd would have been all giggles and smiles and pretend like nothing happened.
Seriously, this was unacceptable, Floyd should have shoved him away.
And you think Conor would dare do that to Nate Diaz, I doubt it.
As for the fight, if McGregor survives 12 rounds, he comes out a winner no matter the decision because it's nearly impossible that Mayweather would survive a 5 round MMA fight with McGregor.
That's the way I'm seeing this, what about you people?

It's all a ing act
Yep.
@ legitimately discussing this like it's not some glorified WWE match.
Floyd will jab him to death and dance around for 12 rounds and get the decision like he always does. Anyone expecting to see anything entertaining are going to be disappointed.
Winning 12 rounds > the ko
Takes a lot more skill to actually outbox an opponent, not sure why you praise brawlers and sluggers, web.
This
Those two are friends
Mayweather wouldn't survive 1 round with Mac, unless he got him to fight standing up but any MMA fighter worth a will take a boxer to the ground from the bell.
If this was a real fight, Mayweather would kill him, probably really early in the 1st. Think Mike Tyson early days.
Palming someone's head and shaking it is not part of the act. Especially if you're doing it to the A-side fighter. It is degrading meaning you're a little boy. You can even see the immediate reaction from Dana White on how shocked he was and tried to get up because he thought something was about to go down. Ellerbe that moron didn't even know it happened.
For the rest I don't mind assuming it was an act.
Yes Floyd fears Conor outside the ring, it shows and this proved it to me.
Should have slapped his hand away and stood up, do something rather than sit there embarrassed and pretend like you're on the phone (like you had something more important to do than this).

So the answer is no, winning 12 rounds with a 0-0 MMA fighter is not greater than a KO.
Floyd won't survive 5 rounds in the UFC against Conor.
He needs this KO/TKO and should not hold back.
Which would be the only way Conor could land a big punch. If Floyd gets reckless. And that's the only way this would be entertaining.

And we all know how much Floyd cares about being entertaining. It's always his number one priority.
In before...that was a racist move by McGregor.
He won't be, but he needs to break him down round by round and go for the finish midway through the fight.
But but but, I doubt Mayweather has the ability to do that anymore. I hope that I'm wrong.
He even said I can't do this anymore so I find a smarter way to fight because breaking people down and finishing requires a lot.
I wouldn't say racist. I don't think Conor is racist, but I know it's a total lack of respect and very degrading.
What is wrong with you?????
I do think there is some pressure for him to win by TKO so he might get away from his normal routine. But if took one good hit, he'd probably revert back.
That makes no sense, Tbh. Outboxing someone for 12 rounds is true dominance, a bum can knock someone out. Connor might knock Mayweather out, it's within the realm of possibility, doesn't mean he's nearly as good of a boxer. If Connor outboxes Mayweather for even 4 rounds I'd be flabbergasted.

Not sure why you're fixated on kos and think fights like canelo vs ggg are going to be great fights. There's nothing impressive about either fighters except their power, both slow as and bad defense.
Not saying McGregor vs money will be better, for the record.
What are you on about?
Boxing a guy who never boxed before for 12 rounds is greater than finishing him? The is wrong with you?
With your logic at least say I hope Floyd finishes him off in round 11-12, but saying that a decision win is better than a KO/TKO against a non-boxer is ludacris.
Even Floyd said I don't have the ability to finish guys off like before, it takes a lot from me, so I decided to fight smarter.
He needs to take Conor into deep water and drown him, or else be prepared for a MMA win.
As of today my prediction: same as Xevious, UZER, and SpursforSix, W12 for Mayweather
Boxing isn't about getting knockouts, if Floyd ends up landing >50% and gets tagged <15% in 12 rounds then that's as dominating as one can possibly be. Some people just don't go down, some people get lucky punches, knockouts are too volatile of a result to gauge.
Floyd probably has it in him to knock out Connor, but why try? It's boxing, it's his game, if he wants he can clown Connor for 12 rounds and make a far bigger statement than pulling a Hatton on him.
At the end of the fight, if Floyd lands under 45% and wins I'll think he did bad. Connor is bigger than than canelo, probably harder to ko and canelo got light up by a lot of hard shots without going down, looked like an amateur. Unrealistic expectations
definitely an act. floyd even flashed a smile.
Again at least by your logic say:
Floyd ends up landing > 50%
Gets tagged <15%
Finishing toying with him in R12 and goes for the kill
That's dominating, or else you never finished the job done. MMA will argue, even Nate Diaz not being a boxer KDed Conor several times.
C'est dommage, c'est dommange.
Hopkins should have never finished off Trinidad in R11-R12.
Hopkins should have not finished off DLH.
Roy Jones shouldn't have finished off Motell Griffin but win a R12 decision to regain his belt.
Floyd shouldn't have finished Gatti or Corrales.
Sorry but that is pure stupidity and no boxer thinks like that. This is not fencing as you imply.
Sidenote: We both know and we all know why you're saying this already because you are preparing for a W12 decision from Floyd due to the fact that him finishing off Conor is slim and very unlikely.

You smile when you are embarrassed and pretend like it's not a big deal. Trust me, this wasn't an act.
A fighter would never allow another fighter to lay a hand on him during a pre-fight press conference.
Quite frankly, it is fencing without the swords. You simply have the option of finishing a fight before it's over. If Mayweather went for a ko every time he wouldn't be the fighter he is at his age, he won with boxing for the later half of his career not slugging or brawling.
Dominating in boxing is finishing a fight with pure boxing, just slugging people like Tyson or foreman makes you just a physical specimens in a sport rather than a prodigy in a craft.
Side note: we both know you hate Money, you've criticized him constantly and know he's most likely going to win. You want to start trying to build up a talking point against him before the fight.
Mayweather is a boxer, he'd destroy Mac in a real boxing match.
