I don't think it would have changed the overall result but would a 160lb McGregor been able to last until the 12th? (Think I remember McGregor made a similar error of bulking up for the first Diaz loss)

Boxing a man who doesn't know when he's in danger is dangerous! He might've thrown a lead left thinking it viable and caught Mayweather, when 99% of the time that would've seen him knocked out. It always reminds me of what Alan Hansen said (relayed by Lineker) about not playing against casuals in charity matches: ‘they don't buy dummies, go the same way, and you clatter into each other’.

Fair drop off in stature for boxing from when we were kings to now.
Lots wrong with the enterprise back in the day, and issues with the sport generally, but jesus, what's happened.
