5 things that make you wonder if Conor McGregor really does have a chance against Floyd Mayweather

The MMA style

We've seen countless times how boxers -- some of them orthodox, some southpaw and some even strangely unorthodox -- fare against Floyd Mayweather.

In fact, we've seen it 49 times over.

Mayweather has survived any and all styles of boxing that has been thrown at him over the years.

What we haven't ever seen, however, is him get into the ring against a freewheeling MMA fighter with awkward striking angles that actually throws his punches from a range that would be categorized under 'blasphemy' in Boxing 101.

And that is why it is incredibly important for Conor McGregor to continue doing exactly that on August 26th.

As many fighters would tell you, it's the punch you don't see coming that puts you down. In Floyd's case, he's practically seen every punch in the book that a boxer can throw at him.

Thankfully, Conor McGregor is no boxer.
