What if a foot slips, a hand drops, a lucky swing lands right and Conor McGregor knocks Floyd Mayweather cold in the craziest of flukes? What if everybody with any good sense is wrong, and Mayweather at 40, having not fought in nearly two years, is no match for McGregor? And if it does, if McGregor really beats Mayweather, it will propel him to a greater height than even he might have dreamed. Even before talk of the Mayweather fight he seemed to be running out of achievements to chase. Especially with current face of the MMA walking away with his fists upraised and his hands in boxing gloves.
