Title: Anyone seen the footage of Conor McGregor sparring?
Post by: Pray_4_War on March 29, 2017, 01:37:25 PM
I'd love to see him KO Floyd Mayweather but it doesn't look possible.  Everyone knows Floyd would get merked in an MMA fight but McGregor doesn't look like he has any business in a boxing ring.  Am I wrong?

McGregor is obviously going to take him into the later rounds, where he dominates.

mcgregor is learning to dodge the punches and guard up.

I wish that was true but I just don't see it.

The only wildcard is if Floyd comes in and is just washed.  Just an old man that has totally lost his skill and desire.  I don't see it.

I pray that's true.  I want to see him go in there and fucking conquer Floyd.

To me he looks slow and sloppy.  Not a difficult target to hit at all.

you could see the other guy piss taking, if the other guy was up against a pro boxer he could be a lot more cautious. probably conor needs to speed up his fast twitch muscle fibres and tendons for the impact of hitting.

Most one sided fight in history taking advantage of people's gullibility and lack of boxing knowledge so two athletes obsessed with making money can con the public and make even more money. I love boxing, it's by far my favorite sport but I will not watch it on principle.

I don't blame Conor, the UFC is a fucking rip off.  They pay their fighters shit.

Unless Mayweather takes a dive Conor won't land a single punch. He's not even good enough to win a European title in any weight class as a boxer let alone beat one of the best fighters of all time!

I don't blame Conor, the UFC is a fucking rip off.  They pay their fighters shit.

Yeah, I agree but lets not pretend it's a competitive fight and is about anything other than them making money. If it was an actual fight with different rules I'd be slightly interested but straight boxing, no chance!

Yes

I think most sane people already know that Floyd wins a boxing match decisively and Conor dominates in an MMA match.  some people will pay anyway just for the star power.

This fight is just taking money from suckers.

I'd so love to see Floyd get choked unconscious but he's too smart to let that happen.  He wouldn't go within 500 years of the octagon.

Would using MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves be a significant disadvantage to Mayweather?

you answered your own question,  by the way no fight between them will ever take place.  if you believe it will then i guess pro  wratslin is still real to you also

Any journeyman level boxer would beat the balls off McGregor. Judging from those sparring sessions, there are even legit tomato cans that would look like Sugar Ray Leonard against him.

the only way this fight would be remotely competetive is if they allowed leg kicks and elbow strikes and even then i am not sure if mcanal would win.    hes going to get schooled so bad boxing , it will damage mma's brand

This. I can't believe people are disrespecting the sweet sport of boxing and think that the greatest counterpuncher of all time would lose to McGregor. Straight up disrespect toward Floyd and boxing.

I'm no boxing expert, but people who know the sport say Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the best defensive boxer of all time.

i doubt that, but in his era yes for sure,  i would still never pick him to beat, leoanard, hearns or duran,   and prime aron pryor would have been hell for him.

Hagler- slightly bigger I know- punishes Mayweather too

If Benitez shows up sober he beats Floyd too

Mayweather is going to beat him embarrassingly. Mayweather will be able to knock him out any round but will torture him for many rounds. Coner isn't remotely a good boxer.  Coner has a good punch when his opponent is defending against kicks and take downs that open them up to his punch. My only hope is that if I buy this pay per view mess is that when Coner receives enough punishment he takes him down and quickly arm bars Mayweather breaking his arm before the ref or Mayweather's corner can stop it.

Hagler was a career middle weight, Floyd wasn't even a real welter, he moved up a few weights...

he couldn't do it with the gloves on but he'd win the event if he knocked joyboy sinclair out with a kick.

Loosely tied and taped gloves he could. Rip them right off.
