Conor McGregor fueled rumors about a possible boxing match against “retired” Floyd Mayweather by sparring with former IBO welterweight champion Chris van Heerden. The video above surfaced online today and shows McGregor’s seriously unrefined boxing skills–dropping his hands, not pacing the fight, walking straight into punches. Sure, he’s boxing against one of the world’s elite, but Mayweather is a perfect 49-0 and after Nate Diaz dismantled McGregor on short notice in his last match, the Irish Golden Boy can’t afford to bring anything but his best in a media-generated fight that probably won’t happen but we’re all praying it does.
