Latest predictions
Lennox Lewis:
"You are talking about one discipline where you can use only your hands and only a few can do it. Every battle sport starts with your hands but they are two totally different sports.
"Floyd will stop him. He's just too good at boxing for McGregor and McGregor is too inexperienced at boxing. He can't use his other styles."
Ricky Hatton:
"I feel embarrassed to say this but I'd be very surprised if (McGregor) wins a round.
"I hope he does well, I hope he wins; there's no doubt whose corner I'm in, but if you're asking me to be brutally honest I can't see anything other than a shut-out for Mayweather. I think it could be a 12-round onslaught, to be honest with you."
Peter Fury
“McGregor is going to get knocked out, and quickly,” Fury told the Sunday Times “He’s going to come in and force his hand. He has to press, to attack, and as soon as he does, he’s in deep trouble. His only chance would be to be rough, tough and aggressive."
