“It will be the best build-up ever for the worst fight ever. It just baffles me! Floyd Mayweather is the greatest defensive boxer ever. Oscar de la Hoya, Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, and Canelo Alvarez… you can keep counting all the top boxers, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, the champions, the legends he’s faced, he’s beaten them all. He’s done it.

“I like Conor McGregor. He’s smashing. He’s funny and he attracts the young generation. Ultimately, he’s a WWE magnet. It’s wonderful. But when the bell goes, there’s no dollars, no x-rated suits, and no fur coats. What happens next when they’re in the ring? Because McGregor cannot box. He cannot box. It’s a bold move. And he has no chance. McGregor won’t even be able to shake Mayweather’s hand let alone punch him.

“I’m a 17 handicap but I’m not going around challenging Rory McIlroy. This is combat. What’s next for McGregor. Fencing? It will smash records but the next morning you and I will text each other saying ‘why did we buy that rubbish?'”
