Is this old? He looks even worse here than he did in that Van Heerden video?
I know from people in local boxing scene in Dublin that Conor would be hopelessly out of his depth in the national intermediate championship, never mind the seniors. Juniors would be his level.
Beatable?
He looks absolutely terrible let alone beatable.
Ya I know tits. Hence very beatable. I still range him getting beat by any Olympic level amateur
No. Just no. I can't understand how anyone watching that clip or with any knowledge of boxing (and/or MMA) can seriously opine that McGregor has the slightest chance against even an old, retired Floyd. Yeah, sure, they can do it if they like - there's a lot of $s to be made, but I hope no-one's under the impression this is a serious fight. In fact I'm pretty sure this would be a fairer fight under MMA rules than Boxing rules, so long as Floyd could learn some basic take down defences and leg blocks I'd give him a marginal shot in the octagon.
TBH I'd rather Floyd stayed retired and Connor fought Khabib, but hell, we all know where the money is.
He has good reflexes. Everyone knows that. This doesn't show us whether or not his technique is getting better.
Show us a real sparring video, or at least a longer one of him, in a couple of months (3-6) so we can gauge if he is progressing or not.
Mc Greggor is at the very lowest level in boxing pro competition.
Mayweather routinely makes the best pros in the world look crap.
As you can imagine its impossible for mc greggor to win.
Its like an average computer game player facing the best gamer in the world on a particular game, its just impossible to win
Its like say im good at doom 2 but if I then face the best guy in the world at Call of Duty , it will literally be impossible for me to win. I might do well vs mediocre guys but against the elite or the best guy 0 chance.
Hes not even the best at what he does and hes facing the best at boxing thats a different sport he needs to get good at, he cant win
Anyone that thinks he might win, has an IQ below 90 im pretty sure thats a fact
i think you are tlaking about prime floyd and i would debate he ever fought the best so how can you make them look crap if you dont fight them but thats another story. lately hes been getting beat up vs unskilled fighters like maidana, outboxed vs a passive pac and mostly looked like crap which is expected since hes so old.
I'm fairly confident that McGregor will knock Floyd out.
If anybody thinks otherwise, let's make a bet. I'm all in.
Yeah... especially since at the time an undefeated monster like Diego Coralles couldn't.
Would mayweather really blow his 50-0 for cash?
Never! Floyd has toooo much pride but i admit he would make more for losing in this fight and betting on that than him winning/losing any other fight he's had due to the mega event, sponsors, cash expenses and betting odds which would be enormously in Floyd's favor!
But again, Floyd has lots of pride and ego, he'd rather go out with more money, a win, still undefeated and with the spotlight on him!
It's a joke. An amateur would make him look basic at best.
If this fight unfortunately ever came to light, I'd imagine Conner being picked apart while he throws crazy wild desperate punches hoping to land the holy grail of a punch on Jr. that nobody else has been able to.
Even if Jr. slips and ends up catching one, it doesn't mean he's going to be blasted out in 1 shot. Jr. survived a very heavy shot from Mosley and was able to recover quick.
