Teddy: Both Floyd and Conor are counter punchers. Will it be exciting?

Sounds a lot like Canelo... He was the bigger fighter too In recent memory the only fighter I remember attacking Floyd without giving a f*ck about counters was Maidana and he did a lot better than most people expected. Don't get me wrong, he still lost the first fight it was like a 7-5 or 8-4 win for Mayweather. 6-6 at best if you gave every single close one to Maidana. Maidana has an excellent jab and a really powerful and awkward looping right that's very hard to time. I don't see a boxing noob like McGregor being able to fight like him. Despite all the talking, I don't think Mcgregor has a mentality of not giving a f*ck like Maidana does. He's gonna get hit with some sharp punches like he's never seen before and will back off and go into survival mode until he quits on his stool. Conor is fuked either way. His big advantages are his size and his supposed power (which wont transfer well from mma to boxing imo) 1. he boxes/counters. can he do this better than canelo? 2. he fights inside. can he do this better than maidana? Almost everyone mayweather fought was larger and had more power than him. The skill gap between conor and maidana or canelo is massive, he wont perform a fraction as well as they did.

Not at all. 2 ounces is a huge difference when it comes to boxing gloves. Floyd's showing his warrior spirit requesting 8 ounces. This is what legends do. Yup weight of boxing gloves can slow a boxer's punches. 2 oz is a lot. Lighter gloves means faster throw and better velocity in the punches. Warrior spirit? I'll reserve judgment until it's approve. Not really sure if it will be sanctioned though.. Floyd is Vegas. Vegas is floyd. They have been in cahoots for a long time. If floyd really meant to wear 8oz, NSAC will make it happen, if this doesn't get approved. To me, that says a lot if Floyd really meant it. Like I said, as Teddy pointed out. This fight will be 2 counter punchers in the ring. Odds are against Conor, but at least having 8oz gloves does make this fight interesting since it does favor both to wear 8oz gloves. Both will have better speed with their punches. Conor at least gets a punchers chance. While Floyd having 8oz will make him throw combinations. The thing is this will be 2 counter punchers in the ring as Teddy mentioned, as I do agree as well. With 10oz gloves though, Conor has no chance at all, not even a punchers chance. His punches will be slow and ineffective. Floyd will have a field day with him. It only is proper this fight be on 8oz gloves. I just hope it does happen. Oh, and legends fight opponents for true competition. I don't think a non-boxer with zero professional experience is included in that category of what legends do though.

Yes he is. He pressures but doesnt really attack he walks his opponents down and baits them into pull counters Sounds a lot like Canelo... He was the bigger fighter too In recent memory the only fighter I remember attacking Floyd without giving a f*ck about counters was Maidana and he did a lot better than most people expected.

It's going to be very exciting. Floyd said he's going for the KO and on top of that I heard they might be wearing 8 ounce gloves. Let's say 8oz gloves wasn't approved will it still be exciting for you? Floyd Snr. says it won't be a Knock out and will be a 12 round UD. How do you feel about it if it' goes the distance?

Atlas is so dramatic. Why can't he just say Mayweather will box Conor's ears off because he is a vastly better boxer than Conor. Better, speed of hand and foot. Better timing. Better boxing fundamentals, Better combinations. More accurate with his punches. 100 times more knowledgeable and experienced about boxing. Better defense. Better chin. Much better stamina etc etc. It doesn't matter if Conor leads or not. He will receive a one sided ass whipping either way. I have never seen a boxer and his entire team as over confident as Conor and his team. They actually seem to believe this will be a very easy fight and Conor will just walk right through Mayweather and knock him out in a few rounds. They give Mayweather no chance to win or even be competitive. On August 26th they will get a harsh dose of reality and find out Conor was the one who never had a chance to win. A huge check should ease Conor's pain.

Is Conor a counter puncher? I have only seen like 3 of his fights. The 2 Diaz fights live (drunk) and that Aldo fight which was like 3 seconds. Yes he is. He pressures but doesnt really attack he walks his opponents down and baits them into pull counters

Connor will catch Floyd when he throws a lot easier than people think with counter punches. Connor throwing weird don't matter, Floyd is trained on the target spots, a weird shot is no different than a good fighter throwing a weird shot or a slow hook or a sloppy cross, or waits a fraction to long, its all the same for Floyd because the target is exposed and Floyd hits it without getting hit, Floyd sees the mistake and opening the nano second its happens.

any chance of females being around??? I want sex after the KO of the century. :lol1: :lol1: yes actually

Yeah that's true. His left is Sharp but everything else is a slap. I'm just going to get drunk and eat wings. any chance of females being around??? I want sex after the KO of the century.

Yea, sort of. He leans back from a left jab to throw his straight left counter. Thats like his one and only punch he does well. Yeah that's true. His left is Sharp but everything else is a slap. I'm just going to get drunk and eat wings.
