But the fundamental equation remains the same no matter what your argument is: Conor can only win by knockout. If he won by decision it wouldn't just be the greatest upset in sports history, it'd be the greatest upset (and win period) in the history of the universe. To outbox even an aging Floyd would be an astonishing, monumental achievement....or much more likely Floyd threw the fight. So all arguments start and end with a Conor win by knockout, which comes back to "can he land a lucky punch"? Floyd has a very good chin, and again, no ground and pound means he can afford a knockdown and would still skate to a win. So even if Conor lands the one punch, it might not matter.

And Floyd doesn't care about boxing, he views himself as the greatest because he'll be 50-0 and the richest fighter ever, so this notion he's under pressure to win by knockout...no, he's under pressure to pay the IRS, but that's the only pressure he's under. Another win that's boring as #### like the Manny fight is 100% fine with Floyd. He didn't take this fight because there's risk involved, he took it for the easy paycheck (to be garnished a little obviously).
