Both are superior athletes. However, it isn't about who is the better athlete.
At the highest level of competition the difference between taking home a gold medal and a silver medal in the Olympics can be a mere 100th of a second.
The amount of deliberate practice determines the outcome. McGregor has thousands of hours of practice in MMA conditioning not only his muscles but neurological connections, and that's not going to be able to be reversed in a time period of less than a year to adapt for a boxing fight.
Sure, we all know Conor at one point boxed, and there is a certain level of boxing incorporated within the MMA style. But akin to the Olympics analogy above, Floyd has 3+ decades of deliberate practice, whereas its only one piece to the puzzle for Conor.
This is like taking the gold medalist of the 800m and trying to put them up against the gold medalist of the 1500m, in the 1500m race. Both are spectacular runners, but have deliberately trained for their specific event for a lifetime.
There are petty arguments to be made in favor of both fighters, such as physical attributes, age, experience, who's got what to lose, fighting styles, "southpaw", this or that, etc.
At the end of the day, you have a career lifetime boxer from a world class boxing family, who was living and breathing the sport the second he could walk, versus someone who picked up boxing at the age of 12 and uses it as one tool in his arsenal.
Its hyped up, because "superfights" sell, much like how superteams colliding (like this past NBA championship) create lots of anticipation.
When you throw a lion in the ocean, the shark shall feast.
