If Mayweather had boxed the entire time like Macgregor did, maybe he wouldn't have had the gas left to land the TKO.
Sure, Mayweather is the better boxer but Macgregor had the biggest heart and gave his fans what they paid for, action. Mayweather was just there for the payday, he had no respect for the people who had paid good money to see a boxing match.

Anybody that thought McGregor had a shot was crazy. Floyd is a defensive fighter. He stuck to the strategy he went in with - to dodge punches and let McGregor tire himself out. It worked to a T. He won the fight, like he always does. If that referee wouldnt have stopped the fight when he did, you would have seen some offensive boxing. Floyd was about to whip the hell out of him even more than he was already.
The fight wasnt even close
