Comments Thread For: Roach: I Was Approached To Train Conor McGregor, I'm Interested!

People are underestimating McGregor's boxing abilities. That said, he should be fighting a much lower level opponent in his first boxing match

no chance at all and im actually an mma guy who dislike floyd but i also gotta be real with myself on this. conor has nothing to offer that will trouble floyd. i mean just look at what nate diaz did to conor and nate would be consider as a sloppy fighter in boxing. nate would be equivalent to guys like brandon rios in boxing lol..

Hed be better off not doing the fight his stock will take a serious hit if hes embarrased in there

i agreed, but money > reputation

Is this for a boxing match? It won't last 60 seconds. Unless it's like a pretend thing.

I disagree. I think Floyd toys with him for 12 or until Connor quits on the stool. Floyd and his brittle hands ain't knocking nobody out.

How good is Roach at playing touchbutt?

Nobody is underestimating Connor's abilities. If anybody thinks Connor is beating FMJ in a boxing match you have no respect for FMJ's boxing abilities. Granted FMJ is far past his prime but he would be the beating favorite against every WW boxer in the world. Its crazy to think any MMA fighter near his weight has any chance of beating him in a boxing match.

yeah lol be some story if he pulled it off though, you would be printing money betting on Mayweather and id say the odds would be decent. McGregr would be better going to Robert Garcia using that Maidana blueprint he has the knees down to a tee

Not just knees brah, you forgot about that spear tackle in round ten, what bwt em elbows and karate chops?

[JoeKidd]

Roach is such a straight-up guy. Loved the snickered response. The fight will do big numbers...as a sideshow. Just like the Canelo-Khan. Who really thought Khan had a shot? At least McGregor would die trying. So I'd buy it. No way in hell Floyd knocks him out. Floyd will pitter-patter him to insanity!

If they were boxing using MMA gloves I would agree but they're using boxing gloves. I don't think FMJ loads up and puts all of his power into shots like he did at 135. He's be tagging Connor with stiff , hard , and fast pot shots but not KO blows IMO.
