Could Canelo Alvarez beat Connor Mcgregor in a street fight?

MMA’s gay. Conor and Khabib resorting to primitive techniques in grappling at the start of the fight. This is why boxing gets more respect. The mental fortitude to trade while only standing and using your rock fists. It’s self explanatory. Boxing is leagues beyond MMA. - -Why U no respected? U marshmallow?

McGregor destroys him in a street fight. He can avoid any kind of attack and take him down and its over. Conor is washed, stamina / endurance damaged due to smoking, drinking, snorting, etc

Main reason Khabib was able to land that is because Conor was ****ting himself over defending the takedown. He thought Khabib was shooting in. Faking the takedown and then throwing the right hand is a classic MMA wrestler technique. Its a little different to having a guy in front of you that you know is only going to punch. Maybe Canelo would do the opposite? fake the right hand and shoot in for a takedown or throw a head kick?...probably not. This is the correct answer, thank you for handling that reply. All warfare is based on deception.

Have you seen Ray Mercer get stopped in 20 seconds with a headkick and go 0-2 in K1? Franz Botha going 4-12? Jarrell Miler losing twice in kickboxing to a washed up middle aged Cro Cop who had already been brutally KO'd multiple times in MMA? Shannon Briggs admitting he was one more leg kick away from hitting the canvas and losing a kickboxing match to a wrestler? James Toney being toyed with by Randy Couture? Lucas Browne being destroyed by Cormier? a middle aged Fabio Maldonado going the distance with Rivas and Takam recently after having been KO'd multiple times in MMA (including a few months before the Rivas fight)? Paulie losing a bareknuckle boxing match to a guy with a 13-15 record in MMA? not saying I put much stock in womens boxing (or MMA) but Holly Holm and Heather Hardy have both been KO'd standing in MMA too. There are occasional exceptions, Mercer/Sylvia in MMA for example, or Botha/Le Banner in kickboxing. But usually when a pure boxer tries their hand at another combat sport it doesnt go well at all. "Pure" being the keyword, because boxing is extremely effective in MMA etc if its complimented with other skills, like good takedown defence and the ability to check kicks. Who was the guy 25lbs lighter that outmuscled Conor? A headkick or flying knee hits harder than any punch Canelo could throw... This. I train boxing and I have trained BJJ, I know guys that compete at a good level in BJJ/Boxing/MMA and while boxing can be effective if you get close and throw a killer combination (most people don't expect the speed and power of a trained boxer), once you're at kicking range you're done, there's a reason why Muhammad Ali almost lost a leg against Ioki, most people aren't ready to receive a leg kick against a trained fighter, it takes everything out of you. Also when Conor McGregor would get into clinches with Floyd, he could quickly take the back and he did a few times, Floyd didn't even knew what was going on, once you're down or don't have leverage, your boxing is done. I gotta be honest tho, boxing gave me a good sense of balance and I was really hard to take down even by higher ranked belts at BJJ so is not like everyone can take down a ****ing thank and elite athlete like Canelo but if anyone can is a UFC champion, people can say what they want but MMA is the closest thing to real fighting.

There are only two scenarios possible between a MMA and a boxer: 1. boxer wins because MMA couldn't take him down; 2. MMA wins because boxer was taken down.

Not sure what it has to do with the argument though.

One straight right hand from Canelo and McGregor end up like Khan. Main reason Khabib was able to land that is because Conor was ****ting himself over defending the takedown.

Ive seen 10 rnd level boxers punch the snot out of MMA guys, Ive seen 6 rnd boxers go to kickboxing and win national titles. Connor is a quitter and would not take a shot from Canelo. He got out muscled by a guy 25lbs smaller. Have you seen Ray Mercer get stopped in 20 seconds with a headkick and go 0-2 in K1? Franz Botha going 4-12? Jarrell Miler losing twice in kickboxing to a washed up middle aged Cro Cop who had already been brutally KO'd multiple times in MMA?

McGregor by KO I hate McGregor, buuuuut Canelo is used to fairly large size gloves and is used to using them to block and counter. As seen in MMA, blocking isnt as important as avoiding the punch with your footwork/head movement and that is one thing McGregor does well is avoid oncoming punches and counter. Conor also has flying knees and spinning kicks in his repertoire that he could use freely with no fear of getting taken down. That's just the stand up aspect though Conor could land a takedown which is dangerous on the street and once it gets there he has a better grappling game than Canelo. Again, I hate Conor, he has become a star out of making an ass of himself and Canelo made is name on hard work and mastering his craft. https://media.tenor.com/images/1b1888fa213c75ad52dd39362c84506c/tenor.gif And Khabib isn't a puncher at all. Now imagine Canelo landing that punch. One straight right hand from Canelo and McGregor end up like Khan.

If Canelo can get close fast enough and land a combination, he can win. If he can't do that, he's ****ed, most people in aren't ready for a leg kick, specially against a UFC champion, Conor would stay on the outside and **** him at kicking range or just grapple him, people that think otherwise clearly don't know **** about fighting. Yeah leg kicks are a game changer. Conor keeps his distance and just chops at Nelo’s legs and that’d be a wrap.

I feel like boxers and mma guys tend to underwhelm in street fights, relative to expectations...Shakur, Anthony Smith, BJ Penn, even Shannon Briggs apparently with Bryant McKinnie...I would expect a boxer or UFC guy to walk through anyone in a street fight but who knows. Would tend to favor the UFC guy...just depends if the boxer can land before he gets taken down really

If Canelo can get close fast enough and land a combination, he can win. If he can't do that, he's ****ed, most people in aren't ready for a leg kick, specially against a UFC champion, Conor would stay on the outside and **** him at kicking range or just grapple him, people that think otherwise clearly don't know **** about fighting.

Well Conor is trained professionally in grappling and wrestling and striking. It would be interesting. If Conor initiates ground game tactics he could grapple him and then put him in submission or ground and pound. But I’d bet that Conor tries to strike and Canelo lays him out.

2020 I ain’t fighting nobody. I am shorting your ass or letting my dog maul at you for a bit. hahaha nice

He got out muscled by a guy 25lbs smaller. You are right that Connor would likely NOT take a shot from Canelo. Vs Mayweather? Do you honestly think it was a fair fight and not set up as a theater show beforehand? lol. As far as boxers go to MMA and vice versa... of course there is a ton of cross over... I am saying people at the top levels. I did kickboxing for around 10 years, and even myself preferred hands to feet.... but someone who is proficient with leg work... would be very difficult to deal with.

I am not at all a fan of Connor, but a proficient MMA guy would have far more tools than a proficient boxer. Boxers use the jab to control the distance... kickboxers use the front kick to maintain distance... last I checked your leg is longer than an arm. If he wants to play a bit dirty... just about 5 lbs of pressure right below the knee and you got a broken knee... First things you learn in martial arts classes focused on self defense... all of those points designed to break bodies and how to defend them. Of course... then it is all silly because the guy with the gun wins anyway. lol.

Boxing is hands down the best when comes to striking/hand to to fighting. All a boxer has to watch out for are leg kicks and take downs. McGregor's not a wrestler, his base/foundation is striking which is Canelo's bread and butter, plus he's bigger.

Nah. Canelo can simply use his superior hands and go for eye pokes. See those end MMA fights all the time unintentionally. Canelo could stop it immediately if that’s his aim. It isn’t the fish out of water story people make it out to be. Street fights are unpredictable and vicious. Lol boxing doesnt translate to "superior eye pokes". If hes on his back, which is likely considering Conor has trained takedowns extensively, hes at a massive disadvantage. The guy on top could dig his thumbs straight into his eyes or bash the back of his head off the concrete from guard or full mount and it'd be all over within seconds. Gouging someones eyes from off your back is nowhere near as damaging, plus theres only a few positions where you could properly do it (pretty much no chance in side control for example) and when adrenaline is flowing bites and pokes wont necessarily even do much anyway. Relying on that kind of **** to counter high level wrestling/bjj from a guy who can do all that **** back to you is probably a losing battle. People tend to massively ovestimate their ability to stop wrestling/BJJ with "forbidden" techniques. You get all these ninja traditional martial arts guys saying the same stuff and it usually ends badly when they put it to the test.

Oh this r_tarded sh_t again....yaaaayyy!!!! People on here are pretty much all closet or open h_mosexuals. No he does not beat Mcgregor in a street fight. Yes you have not trained MMA. No Rousey does not beat Mayweather in a fight or boxing match. No Mcgregor does not beat Mayweather in boxing. Damn boxing fanatics trying to compete with MMAtards to see who is the biggest r_tard. Not even a Mcgregor fan (far from it) but ya'll are stupid as hell. Shut yo bich ass up kid :bottle:
