Wasnt McGregor like 168 against Diaz? I heard that 168 was his weight without cutting...which would make sense considering the fight was at 170. Perhaps Floyd walks around at ~160 (he actually weighed himself at 160 back in December) and McGregor walks around about 168-170. Floyd makes a small cut of about 10lbs to fight at 150 and McGregor cuts about 20 to fight at the same weight. I'm guessing Floyd doesn't like to make big cuts so he'll probably stay within about 5 pounds of 155. McGregor does like to cut so maybe you're right that he'll enter the ring slightly over 170.
McGregor says he'll be 170 + on fight night according to interviews. Mayweather walks around at the same weight he fights. He's an old school fighter.
Mayweather cut weight in lower divisions more than a decade back, but he'll be about 150 in the ring.
McGregor says that his size will be one of the main factors why he'll win. I guess, we'll see.
Floyd weighs 150 in the ring at optimal condition. McGregor will weigh 170-175.
Despite everything I posted above, because I do respect McGregor's athletic ability, it is unlikely he'll have the experience necessary to do anything to Mayweather.
Safest bet is Mayweather win, probably by KO.
If what Van Heerden said was true during his interview, McGregor's balance is off and he has too many holes in his defense.
McGregor is talking good game though. We'll see how tough he is on the 26th.
I think Mayweather will probably win, but do you really think it's going to be a K.O.? Remember this is boxing not MMA. Even if McGregor does go down and is stunned for a couple, he has time to get up. I think it will be similar to the Pacquiao fight and go to a decision.

Unless McGregor is absolutely terrible, it probably depends on how he approaches Floyd. If he goes right at Floyd and leaves a lot of openings, he will get picked apart and hurt early.
However, McGregor has fast feet, and he's a rangy southpaw with power, which will make it more risky for Floyd to close distance or get too aggressive because he will be at risk of being countered.
McGregor said in his interview that he's not going to take a step back, but you really never know how these things are going to play out because talk is cheap.
McGregor lands a few surprisingly good shots (snaps Floyd's head back). But eventually Floyd levels a tiring McGregor and either makes him quit on his stool, or puts him on the canvas for the 10 count with accumulation.
Mayweather will win by decision because McGregor will tire out out by the end of the 6th round without getting the K.O. he needs...but Mayweather still won't be able to put him away, so he just wins by points.
It's generally accepted by everyone everywhere that McGregor will not win by points/decision.
I am seeing 3 rounds of defensive play as Mayweather is a defensive fighter and plays around in the ring.
