Yup, Floyd has been hit
hard by boxers who, in boxing gloves and from a boxing stance, hit much harder than Conor.

I know you're "right" but I hate that the perception will always be that MayPac sucked. Yeah it didn't have the action it would have had they fought when they should've, but from a technical standpoint, it was pretty great.

Conor is the best combat sports athlete of all time. Full stop.

But if Floyd is truely 1 to 50 here to win and is currently only at 1 to 5, shouldn't everyone with wagering capital be shipping?

guess the plausible answer is that too few casuals were interested in betting on that fight
Currently:
Manny Pacquiao -650 against 20-0 pro boxing prospect Jeff Horn
Floyd Mayweahter -500 against 0-0 amateur boxer Conor McGregor
That is nothing short of insane.
