Who was that was going to beat Mayweather in a boxing match?

[Real King Kong]

He was never beating Mayweather, it was simply added promotion.

Saying that, Diaz didn't have a proper fight camp but he was training for a triathlon and his biggest assets were in place; stamina, chin and submission game.

McGregor was picking him apart comfortably for the first 6 minutes and it looked a mismatch. However, he gassed, Diaz saw it and took advantage. He took a chance, jumped 25lbs and it didn't work out.

He couldn't hurt diaz...diaz caught him flush and hurt him...end of story.

McGregor wouldn't even beat a C level boxer

He has very bad technique, imagine Chino landing flush on his chin?

Diaz hurt him with sloppy light shots

Broner, Khan, Garcia, Thurman, Brook, list goes on, would ALL destroy Conor in one round

MMA fighters have some serious staminia issues

He wouldn't even beat a golden gloves champ. Conor has basic boxing ability. He'd get destroyed by any fully trained boxer, amateur or professional.

A guy like Victor Ortiz would put him to sleep in about 1 minute inside a boxing ring, that's the reality.

I'm a big Floyd hater but I don't get why people are saddling up with McGregor over Mayweather.

Conor's whole template was doing the Floyd schtick - except he got his ass beat by a guy with 11 days notice

Every time I watch the UFC, it makes me appreciate boxing even more.

I like McGregor because he has the charisma necessary for Floyd's schtick but I lmao at this

Imagine Mayweather losing to K9 Bundrage on 11 days notice at 165 because he couldn't lose weight

That's basically what it is. The excuses and fabrications about "25 pound weight jumps" are downright comical.

I can't believe people actually thought he could beat a boxer, even a guy with a terrible record. Boxing is just one aspect of MMA. I don't know how anyone can truly believe a guy who spends 20% of his training time on boxing could beat a guy who spends 100% of training time on boxing. This place is really bizarre.

Another great white hope face down on the canvas tasting dirt. Oh boy that must hurt.

McGregor had a background in boxing but switched over to MMA at 17 or 18.

That tells you all you need to know about his boxing abilities.

Amateurs with potential are very optimistic about a career in boxing by that age.
