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).
