MMA guys are grappling and kicking and whatnot which requires much more energy than just boxing. both are counter strikers. surely Connor would make money come forward and then try to catch him coming in...as opposed to chase money and allow HIM to counter strike.
I don't think there are better conditioned athletes on the planet than truly good MMA fighters. maybe I'm just wishful thinking...but I can't help but think it's not a forgone conclusion that money is just gonna wade thru him. I just don't believe it'd be that easy.

Floyd is the best defensive boxer of all time. Conor gassed in the first Diaz fight. Too many years of Floyd being the best and Conor thinking he's the best. Conor should be about a +350 dog on the bright side.
