1. Floyd clearly carried connor
2. Boxing fans trying to give connor credit to justify this circus fight are morons
3.floyd suckered casuals and floyd groupies again and its why he wore the mask to the ring. It was a stick up and he mugged you all
4.floyd looked old and slow , as he should, he is old now.
5.it was a glorified sparring match and floyd took it easy on an overmatched mma fighter
It always amazes me how much people really dont know what they see.
You do understand the 25 lb bigger man will take some wearing down for a light punching 40 yr old.
25 lbs bigger?
So, you aren't aware that Floyd and McGregor weighed in at about the same weight the day before?
He sparred Spence years before that and there's insiders that say Floyd got roughed up when Spence wasn't even on the gas.
He's sparred Spence many times...
FAIL. He tried to end the fight from rd 4 on and Conor fought him very well for 5 more rounds.

I guarantee with everything true in this world that I know more about this sport than you. Floyd was trying to hit Floyd from rd.4 on. The fact is that he couldn't end it until Conor tired out. Great game plan and it worked BUT don't make it out to be something that it wasn't. I bet a friend that Floyd would win within 3 rds. and I was dead wrong because I underestimated Conors skills. And so did Floyd.
And anyone who signs their name at the end of their posts like some kind of calling card is most certainly no gem, takes themselves way too seriously and has a very distorted opinion of themselves. That's you
THE GOAT
LOL!
how could you "guarantee" such a great thing? Please enlighten us all on exactly what unequivocally proves you're more knowledgeable than he is when it comes to boxing.
Floyd was suckering fans for the Floyd Manny 2 con, he was sparring people like Spence when he was sparring for McGregor, and putting beatings on the rest of tmt... let him cook

That was how I saw it. There is no Fail as you put it. When Floyd got serious it was obvious Connor was getting stopped. He won there is no dispute and Connor lost badly.
Oh I thought he would get stopped in 3 rds or less but that didn't happen for a reason. Floyd knew right away that he was in deeper than he thought. Floyd amped it up after a few rds and was still getting caught clean. It was no mistake. Floyd didn't allow Conor to do nothing. That's just what Floyd apologists like to say to excuse him for getting touched up badly by an mma fighter. And no he didn't lose bad at all. Since he won more rds than Canelo did. (If you ignore the one draw card that Golden Boy paid for)
"If he could have stopped him earlier he would have. He was trying to get the KO around the 4th round. Stop being naïve."
The day you know more about this business than I do the world will end!
People including boxers who call themselves the GOAT are NOT!
This mma guy couldn't break an egg yet when Floyd started to land he fell apart! If mma fighters could take solid shots on the chin they would be in boxing.

So to you age had nothing to do with it? Conor's slip-uppercut had nothing to do with it? And you think Floyd took an uppercut like that on purpose? He got slipped and countered. End of discussion. I stand by my original statement.
Pfffffffffft... :lol1: Conor didn't "slip" anything. His head only moved (rotated) fractionally after Floyd launched the shot. The only reason it missed is because Mayweather MADE it miss. You're not describing what happened. You're inserting what supports your argument. Either you're dumb or stupid, it's one of the two.
I don't even like Floyd but it seemed to me he wasn't trying. When he decided to end the charade it was over.

"Think?" :rolleyes: Do you "think" arguably one of the greatest lead/counter right hand punchers of all time could do this by accident? :lol1:

He didnt carry him so much as he threw nothing the first 3 rounds to allow Conor to tire himself. This also allows Conor to look better and cover up the farce that was the fight.
But I disagree that he could have stopped Conor earlier and didnt. The biggest surprise in the fight was Conor's punch resistance and that he could take Mayweather's punches. Mayweather had zero respect for Conors power, which I expected as MMA and boxing punching is a completely different level. I would have thought conor would have went down way sooner but then again he was much larger than mayweather in the ring as well.
Mayweather looked sloppy as chit, he wasnt as defensive as normally and his timing was off, he was misssing a lot.
Stupid fans who think otherwise are just stupid. Suddenly Floyd forgot fo use the jab, the philly shell and the pull right counters he been doing to all the elite boxers he’s fought for 20 years?
Floyd suddenly got outjab and outpunch by a newbie slow ass conor in the first 3 rounds???? When the boxers who were boxing in their entire lives couldn’t even do it???
Was so Conor so fast, had so great of a footwork that Floyd couldn’t do any of that?? Was Conor so technical he outsmarted Floyd? Lmao
NOOOOO!!!
You can hate him all you want, and I do too, at all his issues in his career but the fact you couldn’t see right thru that fight alone that Floyd took it easy on Conor says a lot about the knowledge you have as a fan.
After round 1 Mayweather Sr said something like "he'll be finished by round 4", a few rounds later he said something like "you can start putting it on him anytime you want."
They clearly gave McGregor the first few rounds and let him tire himself out.
They shouldn't have done it. It embarrassed boxing giving him them rounds.

I haven't seen the fight, but I imagine he carried him. Waited for him to inevitably tire.
In hindsight i was naive in the build up as I thought Mayweather would try get him out of there early.
Slighlty off topic but I was listening to Chael Sonnen the other day, he talks for effect, but even he was on a mad one.
He basically said Connor was the real winner in the fight as he did better than what was expected. He was saying Connor's resume looks better by the day, which I agreed with in the case of the Holloway and Poirier wins. But then he said he basically has Mayweather, Canelo and GGG on his resume. As he did better than expected against Mayweather, better than Canelo so he bettered him, and GGG by proxy as Canelo beat him.
I'm a Connor fan and I get what Sonnen is doing, but man, chill a bit :lol1:
If you really think this then you need some help
