‘Irish’ Joe Duffy was at one time one of the most watched prospects in the UFC<\/a>. Prior to McGregor’s UFC 196 loss to Nate Diaz, Duffy was the last man to defeat McGregor, submitting the Irish superstar in the 1st round<\/a> of their Cage Warriors 39 scrap in 2010. While Duffy is currently on a 2-fight win streak in the UFC, he is planning to test the free agency now that his UFC contract is up. <\/p>\n

Duffy explained during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour<\/a> that McGregor simply has a punchers chance, but not much more:<\/p>\n

\"Mayweather<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in combat sports, there\u2019s always a puncher\u2019s chance. In MMA, boxing, there\u2019s always that puncher\u2019s chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that Floyd is probably used to getting in there with bigger hitters than Conor. Boxers, them boxers really do hit (hard),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the scorecards, I really feel it\u2019s a landslide towards Floyd. He\u2019s one of the best of all time. How he made Pacquiao look \u2014 and Pacquiao is one of the best boxers we\u2019ve seen in a long time \u2014 I think that just proves the level he\u2019s at. Canelo\u2019s probably a bigger hitter than Conor, (look) how he boxed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s different. It takes a while to get into that sport, and to get up to par. I think if he pursued boxing for a long time, he could\u2019ve done very well, definitely, but Floyd has been doing this since he was a child. I really just can\u2019t see it going any other way.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

Only time will tell if Mayweather and McGregor ever step into the cage together, however if they do, the world will certainly tune in to watch how the UFC lightweight champion fares against an undefeated prizefighter such as Mayweather.<\/p>\n
