While Floyd Mayweather expects to be the winner in his boxing match with Conor McGregor, he’s not selling McGregor short. Mayweather spoke during a media event for Saturday’s fight between the two (per MMAjunkie) and said that McGregor is a tough opponent.

“I mean, he’s still a tough competitor,” Mayweather said. “He’s a tough fighter. And I’m going to continue to say this: He’s undefeated standing up. He got beat three times when he was on the ground in the octagon, but he’s undefeated standing up.”

The fight takes place in Las Vegas on Saturday and airs live on PPV.
