Frankie Edgar’s head coach on McGregor’s boxing: Mayweather ‘might not realize how fast Conor is’
Count Mark Henry, coach to fighters like Frankie Edgar and Edson Barboza, among those who give Conor McGregor a real shot against Floyd Mayweather.
Since the idea of Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather was first floated as a possibility, there have been no shortage of fans, fighters, and pundits quick to throw shade at the competitiveness of the matchup. Mayweather, a multiple time world champion boxer, undefeated through 49 pro bouts, taking on a man in Conor McGregor who, for all his combat skills, has never boxed professionally in his life. 49-0 against 0-0 doesn’t exactly scream ‘close fight’.
