text: Conor McGregor has claimed he would 'kill' Floyd Mayweather 'in less than 30 seconds' if he was ever pitted against the best boxer in the world. McGregor, who is preparing for his world title fight against UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo in July, said Mayweather lacked the skills in areas other than boxing. 'I don't look at a man who's expert in one area as a specialist,' he told Esquire. 'I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas. If you can box, what happens if I grab hold of your legs? Conor McGregor, posing here with his new tattoo, has said he would beat Floyd Mayweather with ease . 'If you put me face-to-face with Floyd Mayweather - pound-for-pound boxing's best - if I fought Floyd, I would kill him in less than thirty seconds. 'It would take me less than thirty seconds to wrap around him like a boa constrictor and strangle him.' McGregor has won all five of his fights in the UFC to earn himself a shot at Aldo while Mayweather takes on long-time rival Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand venue on May 2. The most famous boxer to make the move to mixed martial arts is former world champion James Toney who fought Randy Couture in 2010. Toney lasted just over three minutes before he tapped out having been taking to the canvas in the opening seconds. Another former champion, Roy Jones Jnr, has repeatedly called for a fight against Anderson Silva, considered the greatest mixed martial artist of all times. Mayweather is currently in training for his $300m mega-fight against Manny Pacquiao next month . James Toney lost in the first round when he took on Randy Couture in the UFC in 2010 .
