Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor - Discussion

[Disgusted]

When's the last time Floyd had a TKO?

[Top Poodle]

Was leading up to the mayweather vs Big show match in WWE. Floyd legit broke big shows nose there and big show chased him into the crowd and tried to kill him.

lmao how'd the match go

[calfzilla]

Big show talking about it. Skip to 4:20 to get the quick and dirty.

[Rami]

I didn't see the fight, was it as boring as other Mayweather fights?

first fight i ever watched and i liked it

[Desolate]

I think it was 2011.

[Desolate]

Best thing about this nonsense were the ring girls.

I cracked one off.

[Griffith]

McGregor does look about 2 weight classes larger as well.

Longer reach too and taller with more muscle. And he got thrashed, if the fight went on he would have been knocked out cold or possibly worse.

Mayweather even looked like he was holding back.

McGregor didn't stand a chance.

best prediction wats ur lotto numbers

                      i won the lotto [when it was pick 6 numbers and a wildcard number] 3 x's 1170, 1260, 850 dollars..the third time i missed millions by one place i picked 7 number was 8. i quit playing after that... for what it's worth here were the numbers. 7-13-14-20-24-32.

[DooM_]

This.

I think that M will agree to a rematch using modified MMA rules. He'll gross a few hundred million $ tonight and would match or exceed that amount in the octagon.

He would keep his boxing record intact and laugh all the way to the bank.

I actually think they're good friends.

allowing kicking wouldn't have saved McGreggor either

[bigkid]

Fight was better then expected.  Hats off to Floyd.  He was going for the KO.

No he wasn't. Not until the 10th round. I'll give Floyd some credit, no matter how good you are, you still have to give a little respect to your opponent. I would argue that Mayweather let Connor have too much in the beginning. Many believe that McGregor won the first 3-4 rounds.

After that, Floyd knew that he could toy with Connor as he pleased. If McGregor couldn't take out Mayweather when he was fresh, then he certainly wouldn't be an issue in later rounds. Floyd was just trying to give people their monies worth.

[Simple Simon]

if Connor had been fighting fighters like Gatti ,Micky Ward Morales or Manny it would have been over in 3.

[ratherbebig]

conor landed more significant strikes than manny.

thats amazing.

unheard of.

incredible.

in his pro boxing debut!

WOW!

crazy.

10 rounds against the best boxer of all time in your boxing debut.

thats unbelievable

That's funny cuz my lucky number is 8; so if you would have asked me I would have told you to pick 8 and you would be rich.

would have been great to see a prime COBRA up against gayfeather

[Alucard]

Solid post.

Agree especially with the last sentence concerning the monster super heavys.

Still think prime Ali beats a prime Tyson though.

Ali had a fantastic chin and the heart of a lion.

Gets into Tyson's head during the press conference then takes him into deep water and drowns him later into the fight.

But what is Ali's prime? An Ali with chin and speed never existed, it's either 60s Clay, a skinny cruiser rocked and hurt by 180lbs bums, who was fast but outsized everyone and still had shitty defense, or 70s Ali, a plodding and chubby punchinbag, who took beatings by anyone, but was durable and with good stamina, and more experience, big part of his success... Still, the punchers Ali's fought would be featherfists compared to Tyson, they are unproven against modern heavyweights well over 200lbs... Foreman is the only legit puncher Ali fought, but he was gassed early, had an idiotic gameplan, threw predictable looping shots, and his power was in the heavy-clubbing, break-you-down department, not a fast snapping, lights-out striker like Tyson...

[SOMEPARTS]

Tyson with Cus D'Amato alive for another 5 years would have made it undisputed.

[ratherbebig]

are we still talking conor floyd? or are we old men talking ali and tyson at the barbershop in the hood

[Disgusted]

Exactly.

You obviously missed the Ali Shavers fight. Who hit harder Forman or Shavers? You obviously don't  know since you didn't even mention him. Not many people could come back after being hit by him but Ali did. Ali had a chin at least the one in this reality did.

Holyfield destroyed Tyson and I don't think Ali would have had much of a problem.
