Who could McGregor actually beat?

he'll probably KO Peter Quillin

I'm sure there are some pro bums with 0-15 records that Conor would have a puncher's chance against.

I bet even tiny over the hill Gamboa would viciously knock out McGregor

He might go undefeated through Golovkin's resume :rofl: This this this

Jeff Horn, if Horn is willing to accept the risk.

Nobody professional. I don't think you understand what a disadvantage it is to have never actually boxed. I could beat him. Seriously, and I would meet him and the rest of you in any gym in the country to prove it. I've been boxing for 11 years, I've trained for 3 hours a day for 6-7 days a week for stretches. I've sparred professionals and amateurs alike. I've had AM fights against fighters who've never had a professional bout who would take his head clean off, and won. I can switch stances, I can cycle through many styles in a single round, I can give a guy two combos a round plus jabs and sweep him never giving him the opportunity to adjust. I know what it's like to be pushed, to be bullied and persevere through adversity. I know how to roll, slip, duck, weave, and pivot away from anything you throw at me. I know how to control the ring, how to cut the ring off, how to stay in your chest and on balance and let my hands go the second you aren't throwing and go mid step. I know how to steal a round, and how to dominate one. I'm also a 6 year war vet who's successfully stopped countless take down attempts from mma fanbois in my platoon in hand to hand combat and knife fighting to where I would be extremely confident against anyone with an mma background in any ring, or octogon, confident I could end the fight on my feet and in dominating fashion. What kind of a disgrace to the sport of boxing would I be if after all the work and dedication to the art of boxing, I would lose a round, to some scrub Irishman who's won a handful of fights in the mess of a league that the UFC is? I'd be damned if I lost to someone who's never boxed an official round in his life, me a savant of boxing, a student of the game. I've humbled gifted professionals an Olympian level fighters alike in sparring, I'd never lose to Connor, and I'm not a professional boxer. And you think even club level fighters would be game for this cat? Literally any professional fighter should be favored against him. It's a joke that anyone would think otherwise. The talent disparity between professional boxing and the UFC is gargantuan. Guys like Prescott would wipe out McGregor in one round. I could literally walk into my gym and pick a BEGINNER to fight him, and it would be dead even at worst. You can laugh, but if you don't think over a decade of dedication to this sport doesn't separate you in a big way from someone who hasn't ever tried to take the sport seriously for even a span of 12 months, you DKSAB. Sounds like you should get off boxing scene and go make yourself some money in the ring. I'd love to see these "boxing skills" from a dedicated boxing scene poster.

He'd probably give Uzzy Usman a run for his money

All time or current?

McGregor wouldn't rank in the top 200...

Why does everyone hate on Paulie I am not a fan but hes no more featherfisted than Mayweather and had / has some pretty respectable/underrated boxing skills Actually I respect the $h*t out of him. To survive in those weight classes with those power punchers for so long is a credit to how good he was with little power. He was very fast, balanced and had a great boxing IQ. Pauli would honestly embarrass McGregor.

He couldn't even beat old Pauli the commentator. Why does everyone hate on Paulie I am not a fan but hes no more featherfisted than Mayweather and had / has some pretty respectable/underrated boxing skills

He couldn't even beat old "pillow hands", Pauli the commentator.

Look man even though I strongly disagree (I think Liam annihilates him in a boxing ring), I respect your opinion, sir. Green k sent. It's no disrespect to McGregor who is obviously prolific within his own sport, and would wreck any of these names that we mentioned inside the octagon -- but inside a boxing ring under boxing rules it's just a totally different animal. It's a way different craft. These names that are being thrown around have dedicated their lives to the craft. Years and years of training and actual world level experience. Im probs talking with my heart not my head lol. I know a boxer kills an mma guy at boxing and a boxer gets killed by an mma guy at mma. There would be some exceptions though some mma guys have pretty decent boxing backgrounds and with their training are phenomenal athletes and could take out your 2nd tier boxer no problem. For instance Stipe Miocic or whatever golden glove boxer amazing conditioning id take him against any fat sloppy heavy outside the top 5 if that makes me an idiot so be it. Anderson 10 years ago with his reflexes and counter punching ability coulda gave some heavy handed sand footed contenders issues and i hate anderson

In regards to Conor vs Liam I feel Liam dont have the power to KO Conor and he moves about as fast as Molasses and I believe he would brawl not box so I give conor a chance.

Realistically, to build him up, who would you select as his opponents? Nobody professional. I don't think you understand what a disadvantage it is to have never actually boxed. I could beat him.

red k sent You CAN'T really believe this. You can't. If you do, man, you gotta turn in that boxing fan card ASAP. Your sh*t needs to be revoked. Noobie boxing fan I can admit that and I am a huge McGregor mark in mma but I know floyd kills him. In regards to Conor vs Liam I feel Liam dont have the power to KO Conor and he moves about as fast as Molasses and I believe he would brawl not box so I give conor a chance.

Maybe Brian Sutherland red k sent He would handle Liam Smith with ease IMO You CAN'T really believe this. You can't. If you do, man, you gotta turn in that boxing fan card ASAP. Your sh*t needs to be revoked.

Hell Randall Bailey's 42 year old ass would decapitate McGregor. The f**king arena groundskeepers would have to go up into the 20th row just to retrieve Conor's head.

McGregor could beat anyone....if they agree to take a dive like Eddie Alvarez did.

Salka, maybe Salka beats him. He'd beat Jeff Horn. Your biased hatred of Pacquiao wants you to believe this. Either that or you really have such a low opinion of boxing to really believe that an amateur level Conor McGregor can step into a boxing ring and beat a guy who has been training at this craft his entire career. The combined record of Horn's last 9 opponents is 240-25. You really think a guy who doesn't have a single professional boxing fight under his belt is going to beat a legitimate professional boxer who's five years deep into his pro career not even counting amateur experience? F**k while we're at it I'd take all 9 of those Horn opponents who I just mentioned to beat McGregor.
