George Foreman believes Conor McGregor can beat Manny Pacquiao in boxing

Conor McGregor getting knocked out by Dustin Poirier has seemingly put any potential boxing match with Manny Pacquiao on ice, but that hasn’t stopped boxing legend George Foreman from having a surprise opinion on the matchup.

The former heavyweight champion and ex-HBO commentator is of the belief that he’d rather see Conor in boxing matches long-term than MMA, and while he offered absolutely zilch in the way of actual analysis, he thinks McGregor could beat the Filipino legend.

“I think if he has a fight with Pacquiao he can actually beat him – good rules, over 10 rounds, McGregor can beat him,” Foreman said to The Irish Mirror (via MMA Fighting).
