Can we all agree that McGOAT would KO GGG and Mayweather in a 2 on 1 fight?
Alright, so far we got Ursa, Ares and Xero (I think?) saying Canelo.
Adipost (I think?) and myself for GGG.
I'll practically bet anything that he won't get knocked out which is what you said. I won't put it out of the realm of possibility that he could lose the fight though. Either way I of course would be rooting for Canelo in that fight.

Canelo is what unites Gingers and Mexicans everywhere

How about this one? Lets have Stallone fight DeNiro with the proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior project?
I mean if we're trying to get them money, why not McGregor vs Mayweather?
It is gonna net like a billion dollars
The only reason this joke fight is happening is so a few people make a shit ton of money. It would be a miracle if they donated 1% to any cause outside of themselves and uncle sam.

I just want to swing a few lefts and a few rights for a couple of hundred mill in peace."
Conor McGregor
He's not even American, I doubt The Wounded Warrior Project would be high on his list of charities.
Fucking Irish.
Impossible argument to make either way, because if Floyd was GGG's natural size, he wouldn't have had the speed he did.
To humor the argument for speculation's sake though, I disagree. GGG is the better fighter. Floyd couldn't knock snow off a rope, so his only hope would be to defend and try to win on points. But I don't think he would because I think GGG is the one guy who would have banged him out.
Remy I'm not going to get into it with you because, quite frankly, I don't have the energy for 94 pages of arguing about a hypothetical. We can agree to disagree.
It still amazes that people will pay good money to watch this fight live or on pay per view. This is no better than a WWE matchup. Having said that I put money on McGregor because the odds were fucking ridiculous and his only chance is if he simply gets lucky and tags Mayweather with a luck punch.
No, again when he was fighting at his natural weight he had 17 knockouts in 25 fights. Go look at his early career. Floyd was knocking the snot out of people because he is a natural super featherweight and he has the power of a natural super featherweight. His knockout percentage was 68% at his natural weight.
The reason why he no longer knocks people out is because he is fighting now at light middleweight and against people that are more natural light middleweights so his featherweight power doesn't faze them.
So in this hypothetical, if you took a guy that had the power at his natural weight to knock out people at a 68% clip and you now make him a natural middleweight then one would expect him to have the power at middleweight comparable to his 68% knockout rate.
Floyd would still be much faster than GGG at 160 because the decline in speed from adding an additional 6 pounds isn't as steep as the rise in power if we assume Floyd was a true middleweight because IMO power scales much faster than speed if we adjust someone's natural weight.
As for GGG being the better fighter, GGG has more raw power but he is not a better technical fighter or strategist. I am not seeing many areas where he would top Floyd. There is also the issue of him not really faced in top level competition.

Who would you say was his best opponent he's fought to date?
GGG gonna win.
If McGoat beats Mayweather, i will deforest the mountain
The original odds were crazy... I wish I woulda thrown some on McGOAT just cause of how high they were.
