Why is no one talking about this? So if Conor can KO 91% of his opponents, and Floyd can barely KO half, his opponents. This either goes to a decision or Floyd gets knocked out. Conor is the heaviest hitter Floyd will be facing and he happens to be a long quick southpaw with heavy power.
I want you to explain to me how Floyd will go 12 rounds without getting hit by Conor at least once?
A head kick KO or knee KO in MMA is still counted as a KO. In boxing you can only stop a guy using your fists so that has to be taken into account. Also Conor's actual knockout ratio is 75 percent not the 91 percent that you claimed. He has 18 stoppage victories out of a total of 24 fights.
I have no doubt that Conor hits harder than Floyd, especially at this stage of their respective careers, but he does fight in much smaller gloves against guys who aren't really adept at taking punches to the face. In boxing with the larger gloves and different rule set I highly doubt he would have as many knockouts on his record.
conor might hit harder in the 1st 2 rounds and that's it.
Conor has no KO beyond the 2nd.
Actually, he destroyed Diaz.

he said "uncle" one time and the other time was a split decision a lot of people thought he lost.

Except almost all his wins are by KO / TKO, not submissions.

the best part is even in the 2nd Diaz conor fight...... Conor had to resort to leg kicks because in the 3rd - 5th rounds he was still getting outboxed by Diaz lmao

The more you blind yourself from the reality that Conor can actually knock Floyd out, the less shocked you will be when it happens.
When I cared about mma I was a huge Conor fan and still am and by no means do I like floyd.
Hell I am not a very knowledgeable boxing guy but I am not a retard Conor barely has a punchers chance.

Two things
1st - It is typical in discussion of MMA fighters to count stoppage % as a % of wins, whereas in discussion of boxers it is typical to count stoppage % as a % of total fights (as is displayed on BoxRec for instance).
Connor has 18 KOs and 1 submission victory in 24 fights, that's a stoppage % of 79.2% as far as I am concerned.
2nd - Connor has had 0 professional boxing matches
