Katie Taylor believes Conor McGregor would struggle in a boxing ring against Manny Pacquiao.<\/p>\n
The Notorious Conor McGregor is set to return to UFC action next month in a rematch with Dustin Poirier, but the 32-year-old MMA stars manager Audie Attar recently claimed that McGregor and Pacquiao would meet later in 2021.<\/p>\n
The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion has already faced off against boxing great Floyd Mayweather and lost, and Taylor believes the fight against Pac Man could likely have a similar outcome.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Taylor stressed that beating a boxer of Pacquiaos calibre would be a challenge but if any mixed martial artist could manage it, its McGregor.<\/p>\n
Its hard to look past the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Taylor said.<\/p>\n
Im obviously a huge McGregor fan, hes been a huge supporter of me, but its very hard to see past the boxers in those situations.<\/p>\n
The likes of Manny Pacquiao andFloyd Mayweatherare the two best boxers of our generation.<\/p>\n
But if anyone can do it, I guess Conor McGregor can. Hes got the best mindset and a great mentality. He has such a winning mindset.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, there has been talk that Taylor could welcome former UFC featherweight champ Cris Cyborg to the ring next year as part of a crossover bout. The Bray native is confident of her ability to get the better of the Brazilian fighter, however.<\/p>\n
I think Cyborg is the bigger fighter in that situation, Taylor said.<\/p>\n
Shes probably regarded as a stronger fighter against me so that obviously favours her, but regardless of who Im stepping into the ring with Im always going to favour myself.<\/p>\n
Every time I step into the ring, I expect to come out as the winner, so thats not going to change against Cyborg.<\/p>\n
