While Floyd Mayweather is currently retired from boxing, and UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor was recently pulled from his UFC 200<\/a> welterweight rematch with Nate Diaz, the two men have managed to keep their names in the headlines despite UFC 198<\/a> coming up on Saturday.<\/p>\n

There have been conflicting reports for some time now regarding a potential boxing match between the two, despite the fact that McGregor is an MMA fighter. While many didn’t believe that the match would ever be treated as a possibility, UFC President Dana White stated that Mayweather should call him<\/a> if he wants to fight Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on SiriusXM Fight Club<\/a>, top ranked UFC welterweight Matt Brown offered an interesting take on why the fight shouldn’t happen:<\/p>\n

“[Conor McGregor] will never beat Mayweather in his life at boxing. He could train for his whole life, I mean there’s guys like Canelo or Pacquiao…guys who have trained their entire life only boxing…they’re some of the best boxers in the world and didn’t come close to beating Mayweather.”<\/p>\n

“McGregor’s not even that good of a boxer. I don’t know why people would even think that this fight should be made. It’s insane to me because he’s not even really a good boxer. You have to be an insanely good boxer to even hang with Mayweather. I think it’s kind of disrespectful to Mayweather. You know it’s just a lot of talk…the two of them just want to stay in the news and be relevant still. Maybe if they do make it it’s for a money thing. It’s not really an interesting fight by any means.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
