At the end of the day Mayweather won the fight because he's better conditioned for a long fight. He certainly wasn't outclassing McGregor when he had stamina. I think MMA comes out a winner over boxing in this one based on the result because McGregor was never going to win the fight but he almost went the distance.

Aren't you playing the "what if" game by basically wondering what would happen if McGregor had more stamina? He didn't. He fought 3/4 good rounds and then was probably losing on points before the ref stopped it. Despite some people saying otherwise, it was a good stoppage as he wasn't defending himself and was essentially getting chased around and hammered.
I have no idea where people come out with the idea that because he made it 3/4 of the way through the fight that this is a victory for McGregor. Mayweather goes the distance with lots of fighters, and McGregor couldn't even manage that. He came in, had a couple decent rounds and got dominated.
