5 Boxing opponents for Conor McGregor other than Floyd Mayweather

#1 Paulie Malignaggi

Despite his shortcomings in the past, Paulie Malignaggi is more than confident of being able to knock out Conor McGregor if the two were to come face to face inside a boxing ring. Malignaggi has never been one to back away from a fight, and Conor usually doesn't take too kindly to people calling him out so this could be a good way for Conor to test the waters.

It's not like he'd be fighting a nobody as Malignaggi is a two-time world champion. He's on a three-fight win streak right now so his confidence is understandable, and it would open the door for Conor to pursue even more fights in the future if he were to get the win. Again, it would be a risk, but it's the smartest move for both men right now.
