CONOR MCGREGOR is a clown who could never lay a boxing glove of Floyd Mayweather – according to legendary ring hardman Roberto Duran.
When the pair clash on August 26 in the dry Las Vegas desert, Stone Hands predicts his fellow boxing icon will wipe the floor with the UFC star.
Duran – a four-weight world champ infamous for quitting his second fight with Sugar Ray Leonard – says McGregor’s best bet is to attack Money Man and break some bones.
LIVE: THE VERY LATEST UPDATES FROM McGREGOR VS MAYWEATHER
A savage assault – despite the huge fine and lawsuit it could bring McGregor and his UFC paymasters – is the only way the MMA man can escape with his reputation intact.
Duran said: “Mayweather beats the guy, it will be a spectacle.
“A wrestler of that size won't do anything to Mayweather.
“If McGregor is serious he will break both arms and legs of Mayweather.
“Mayweather will beat him. McGregor is a clown.

A wide selection of boxing purists think the mismatch is cheapening their noble sport with McGregor making his debut against the 49-0 genius.
But Duran thinks is the sport of MMA and McGregor’s UFC promotion that will be harmed by 40-year-old Mayweather schooling their Irish poster-boy in front of the world with no title on the line.
Duran said: “The fight will not hurt boxing, but it will hurt mixed martial arts because you're talking about a good world champion, and if that guy loses against Mayweather it should be for something.”
