It is difficult to find people<\/a> who are confident<\/a> in Conor McGregor<\/a>‘s chances against boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather<\/a>. Andre Berto, however, who is the last man to have fought Mayweather in the boxing ring, is one of those people. Berto explained his confidence in McGregor on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhen it comes to Conor, I tell people: He\u2019s a star,\u201d Berto said (h\/t Marc Raimondi of MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cFor some reason under that pressure and under those lights and under that atmosphere, he knows how to rise to the occasion. It doesn\u2019t matter what the situation is, he\u2019s one of those special guys that really can thrive in these types of environments, man.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t put too much past him. I\u2019ve been able to see and able to go to a few of this fights and really see how he really soaks up that atmosphere and he gets energy from it, where a lot of people really break down or it allows them to fold. He gets energy from that and he knows how to thrive. If it was a guy in the UFC or MMA that can do it, I believe he would be the one, for sure.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Berto then broke down to possible storylines for this blockbuster Mayweather vs. McGregor fight:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI see Conor coming in there really showing that bravado, showing that cockiness and showing that he\u2019s really there to fight,\u201d Berto said, sharing one option. \u201cAnd somewhat trying to steal the stage from Floyd just with his antics and he kind of gets Floyd into a mind-game situation, has him pulling some type of mistakes and [Mayweather] gets caught with a big shot and gets hurt. And [McGregor] could stop him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOr I see Floyd not playing into any of these antics and being who he is, to stay poised and to stay sharp and let his boxing skills just pick Conor apart,\u201d Berto added. \u201cAnd either late rounds stop Conor just from the accumulation of shots or maybe cuts or just being beat up, or just outboxing him for 12 rounds and just trying to make him look silly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do you give Conor McGregor a chance against Floyd Mayweather?<\/p>\n
