So I&#8217;m not going to sit right here and knock Conor McGregor. He&#8217;s gone out there and done what he had to do. It&#8217;s obvious that he&#8217;s done something right thus far to get to the point where he&#8217;s at. I&#8217;m not here to bad mouth him.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been off a couple years,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m 40 years old now. So I&#8217;m a lot older, and he&#8217;s still in his 20s. I&#8217;m in my 40s now. So I mean, that could play a major key, we don&#8217;t know. And he&#8217;s a heavy hitter. We don&#8217;t know. Has he signed the contract yet? Absolutely not. In due time, we&#8217;ll just see.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Any time Conor McGregor goes out there and defeats fighters, he&#8217;s standing up defeating fighters. He&#8217;s in a boxing position, and he&#8217;s beaten fighters. When he did get defeated, he was on the ground. So it&#8217;s obvious Conor McGregor is a better standup fighter than he is a grappler. So does he have a good chance of upsetting Floyd Mayweather? I can&#8217;t say, but anything can happen in the sport of boxing \u2013 in contact sports period.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you give Conor McGregor a chance against Floyd Mayweather?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 5\/3\/2017.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Conor McGregor makes the transition into boxing for a battle with undefeated great Floyd Mayweather \u2013 and there&#8217;s plenty of reason to believe\u00a0this will be the case \u2013 he will enter the fight as a\u00a0massive\u00a0underdog.
