Tale of the Tape

Floyd Mayweather comes into the event with an incredible 49-0 streak. He is set for his first fight since 2015 when he announced his retirement. Standing at 5'8", he has a reach of 72" which will undoubtedly play a role in the predictions.

McGregor is the UFC lightweight champion with a record of 17-1 in recent matches. His overall career stands at 21-3. Most of his recent victories (14/17) have been through a knockout. After starting out as an amateur boxer, McGregor went on to lift the UFC title.

Mayweather vs McGregor Fight Preview

Strengths

Mayweather comes in with a big reputation after having established a 49-0 career. He has managed titles in five divisions, but most of his success has come by being a great defensive boxer. Mayweather has an uncanny ability to avoid shots coming his way, and this is his biggest asset. It is not surprising that many of the welterweight and middleweight stars have been unable to touch him.

McGregor, meanwhile, happens to possess a great punch. This attribute was confirmed when José Aldo was knocked out.

Weaknesses

The prediction has the slightest doubt in Mayweather since he has not boxed in the last two years. Mayweather may not be at his peak at 40 years of age, but he still can master his feet. His age coupled with the rustiness could be the key factors that go against him.

McGregor would perform exceptionally well with his punching power against many opposition, but Mayweather is a boxer who knows to avoid shots. Hence, McGregor’s biggest asset may be negated.

Mayweather vs McGregor Prediction

Even though Mayweather has not been around the boxing scenario for the last two years, there is little doubt that he is a strong favourite against a former amateur boxer. Despite McGregor’s success in the UFC lightweight championships, he may struggle big time.
