Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: McGregor Needs 5 Years of Training For Mayweather

[GGG Gloveking]

What Teddy is really saying here is that Conor needs Floyd to get 5 years older and that much slower for Conor to have half chance with Mayweather. Maybe when Floyd is45 or so then McGregor would ve competitive.

5 years of training just for round 1.

Sorry, McGregor just throws punches in bunches an then tires out. Floyd will set him up for body shots downstairs and then start tagging the clueless Irishman.

2nd round comes and Floyd hears McGregor's fans chanting as Conor taunts Floyd. Floyd starts operating down stairs again and McGregor gets more aggressive and get countered from the outside.

Floyd is just easily beating him to the punch.


Round 3 Floyd comes out smiling and starts off with a shellacking left hook. Conor taunts Mayweather again and rushes in as Floyd pops him with a straight right.

Now Floyd is taunting, McGregor is mad and starts to bullrush his way into Mayweather but he escapes.

Round 4 Floyd likes his chances so he starts to open up a lil more with triples jabs and a left right hook combo.
McGregor is getting tagge at will........fill in the blank.

and in 5 years he will still lose a decision.


as it stands connor mcgregor would look like an amateur kid with some awful habits. i hope the fight happens only if floyd is really done with boxing. let's face it, floyd vs mcgregor wouldn't be boxing. it would be a sideshow. it's only better than nothing.


if floyd comes back to boxing, i don't mind him taking light touches. garcia would be the perfect opponent. he's naturally a counterpuncher, and he's just slow enough that he won't trouble mayweather unless he's suddenly fallen off of the hill. enough of a draw. enouhg of a threat. still a very low risk fight. good matchmaking, if you're floyd mayweather.

in other words buying this fight to date is like watching a fraud circus show.

Much like the 49 pro fights Floyd has had so far.

Floyd actually opens up? Ok....so floyd opens up Connor slips the right hand and lands a straight left sending Floyd on his face. Sound familiar? Ellerbe comes rushing in the ring to save Floyd and Connor lands a beautiful roundhouse kick sending Ellerbe back to the third row. Connor saves combat sports.

Now thats what im talking about, fitting for a comic book even.

Atlas is just looking for another high profile training gig. What an assh*le.

And Floyd will be 45 in 5 years and he would still school McGregor.

[steeve steel]

Teddy himself would need 5 years of training to become a good trainer...

[JUNIABOY]

Atlas is basically saying that the crude, caveman punching of MMA would get owned in a boxing ring.

Something that should be obvious to even the biggest MMA nuthugger by now.

Just look at McGregor's fighting stance. How long would it take to fix that?! Yea, ppl are delusional if they think an FMJ/McGregor fight would be competitive.
