The vast majority of the boxing world believes Mayweather will handle McGregor with relative ease, giving the mixed martial artist little chance of beating one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of all time in the ring.

But there are others who believe McGregor has a chance to land a knockout blow in the first four rounds as he promised during the pair's promotional tour, due to McGregor's striking ability, Mayweather's problems with south paws, and the new angles the Irishman will be using.

Count Iron Mike Tyson in the former group. In a recent appearance on ESPN's "Pardon My Take," Tyson expressed plainly what he believes will happen in the upcoming bout. "He's gonna get killed," Tyson said.
