My main concern with McGregor is that if he gets into a scenario in which he is exposed while boxing, I don't think that he has the appropriate boxing skills to offset what Mayweather can do to him. If this was MMA, McGregor could kick and react differently to offset the blunder, but when he is in the boxing ring, he will not have such opportunities.
I think that once McGregor gets exposed, Mayweather will be able to jump and KO him, since I don't trust McGregor to offset a mistake with boxing.
Building off of DocB (I doubt anyone gets the Rule 5 Draft Pick reference - also, Verlander has been placed on Trade Waivers), McGregor has lived in the octagon, compared to Mayweather who lives in the ring, which gives the advantage to Mayweather.
