For me, the fight is Mayweather vs Father Time, and over the course of anytime line it doesn't matter how great you are or how legendary you are if you stick around 1 day to long father time delivers you a beating from an opponent that has no place to be considered on the same level as you. Does that happen in this fight, doubt it but anyone that has been a fan of the fight game long enough has seen it happen to many fighters. The thing is, it's only in retrospective that the fighters are labeled washed up by then and never the day of the fight. History has a way of re-witing fans memories.

- But what is interesting, is does Conor take the fight to a MMA distance and how easily is a skilled boxer able to pick that apart. Does anyone dare try and fight a boxer at a MMA distance and can the boxer close the ground.

- What will be Conor's reaction when his body starts getting lit up, will he be able to adjust or will he drown right there. The body is only ever used effectively by two MMA fighters.

- What will Conor's reaction to being hit with a punch that technique, accuracy, and crispness is unlike anything he would have ever seen? Finding out what elite sticking really is.

- As people talk about decisions and Floyd's game but if this dare fairs to go to a decision this will be a huge black eye for boxing, Mayweather needs to take him out and take him out fast. Thats a lot of pressure, pressure his shoulders are use to carrying but never to the extreme that one slip or mistake could embarrass his sport and tarnish his legacy. Anything less than absolute perfection will be questioned and thats a lot of pressure.

Is it's a joke fight that has no more competitiveness than Couture vs Toney or will turn out like when the experts that said that a Kirate disciplined fighter would latterly kill if one fought another discipline.

So called experts will mock and criticize, look down all they can because they see things with an elitism that blinds themselves that anything outside their box couldn't be possible or bring something to the table new. They might even state it and circle back afterward patting themselves on the back stroking their ego that they were right. But the truth is, it only takes one slight change in equations and a different result can accrue

I don't expect one, but I'm a lot more interested in watching and learning and basing my opinion from that. There will be plenty of time to criticize afterward there's no need to do so beforehand when you don't know what the actual fight will be but only can guess
