    UFC isn't boxing. They can't compete as boxers.

      floyd an ward have gotten much better at not spoiling fights these last few years....
      This post just goes to show that you don't even know what you're talking about . When Floyd was younger Al Haymon wasn't even in the picture. Floyd was promoted by Bob Arum for the first ten years of his career. So how was Floyd's "running" being passed off as boxing wizadry by the "Al Haymon crowd" when Al Haymon wasn't even in the picture?

            Any pro boxer who is world level would finish him quickly. Floyd isn't the biggest puncher but should be able to land at will.

            Andre Berto would finish McGregor in a round or two in boxing, and vice versa.
            McGregor has a hell of a chin.

              Ya'll are comedy making excuses for Conor. That was a disgrace of a showing and even the commentators mentioned it. Notorious' stamina is a joke.

                Connor is good in my books. He got tired of battering Nate; he had to take a little breather.

                  Yeah but look how often he gets tagged and that's off guys that are not pro boxers. Imagine when all he's allowed to do is throw punches, how often he is going to get countered with such accuracy. His chin would be cracked pretty quickly i think.

                  At the end of the day, McGregor is not a boxer, or not a skilled one anyway. If he was limited to just punching, he would get smashed pretty quickly because he'd barely land a shot and be taking them very often.

                  Just as a boxer would lose easily fighting him under UFC rules.

                    he doesn't get tagged a lot? His face has been an oil painting after both diaz losses + the mendes fight he had one cut, that was it.

                    When he gets tagged, with 4oz gloves, he smiles and walks forward.

                    Make no mistake, he has a granite chin and Mayweather's featherfists wouldn't do anything to it.

                      Mcgreggor is an underrated boxer
                      He managed to beat van heerdan in sparring, Heerdan denies it but from the highlights Connor looked thoroughly in control. Yea Van heerdan isnt worldclass but its still damn impressive for connor who isnt even a boxer to beat him.
                      He ran a bit in the Diaz fight but look at the damage he did, it was a good fight
