It’s rare to see Floyd Mayweather Jr. give praise to anyone but himself, but, in a recent interview with Kevin Hart, the undefeated boxing great had high praise for Conor McGregor.
Mayweather, who fought — and beat — McGregor in a PPV-smashing boxing match in 2017, called ‘The Notorious’ the Caucasian version of himself.
“He’s the Caucasian Floyd Mayweather,” Mayweather said of McGregor on a recent edition of Cold as Balls (h/t Dan Hiergesell of MMA Mania). “He’s a knock-off. He’s a hell of a knock-off version.”
McGregor has become a household name in combat sports and is one of the highest paid athletes in the world.
