Phelps, who has 28 Olympic medals to his credit, recently had a simulated race against a great white shark, so he isn’t completely unfamiliar to unusual challenges. On Saturday, when Mayweather stopped McGregor via TKO in the 10th round of their 154-pound bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Phelps offered praise for both men.
50-0.....wow
