That's the **** people are talking.
Conor is great at things that MMA requires, stances, striking, defense, etc. etc. Floyd is great at the things boxing requires, stances, striking, defense etc.
Just because those things share the same name, doesn't mean they're the same in completely different sports with the rules changed. Boxers spend years learning how to move and punch in the way that 150 years time has told us is the best way to box. Conor has spent years doing the things that years of MMA has taught us are the best things to do in MMA.
You can just hop between them and expect to "learn on the job". The bio mechanics of what each requires are different. Floyd is going to embarrass Conor (in exactly the same way Conor would embarrass Floyd in the octagon).
Any boxer around Conor's weight who has climbed into the world rankings would tool Conor from pillar to post. Full stop.
