I will give McGregor credit for not looking out of place and looking pretty competent as a boxer but I am surprised at the lack of power. He hit Mayweather in the first three and a half rounds but nothing really that damaging. The fact it went 10 rounds and there wasn't a knockout is really a win for McGregor IMO as boxing's best within it's own rules couldn't put down an good MMA fighter.
Mayweather's not a knockout specialist.

You put McGregor with a power boxer and he goes down.
