Comments Thread For: Mayweather Pulls Rank on McGregor: Don't Compare Him To Me!

[Nomadic]

Ok, maybe he's not the Mayweather of UFC. You can thank Dana for that.

Anyone on this board that thinks Mcgregor can beat Floyd is nuts. McGregor tapped in 2 sec to Diaz, so let's not say just yet he has heart. Determination yes but heart, that remains to be seen . Evander Holyfield had heart.

Are you saying Floyd had heart???? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahah

That's the best joke I've heard in a long time.

"COnnor has 3 losses.

If you're going to pretend to be a fan of Connor just to insult floyd at least get it right "

I think Connor is for sure a bigger spectacle and hot trend than Floyd, would is and never will be. People describe watching connor mcgregor fight live as a "transcending experience". I just think Connor Mcgregor is hitting a celebrity status Floyd never hit.

Most sports analysts would agree as well. The fact Mcgregor is KOing people and Floyd was UDing people doesn't help floyd either.

Mcgregor is much more willing to go out of his comfort zone and weight class to fight larger fighters.

Mcgegor is just a bigger deal!!!

You argue that boxing belts mean more, and then list 3 boxing sanctioning bodies...and could've listed more.

You mention divisions Mayweather's held linear titles in, but fail to mention how many more weight divisions there are in boxing.

The UFC offers clarity in terms of championships and divisions that boxing doesn't.

There are four major sanctioning bodies in each weight class but there are literally thousands of fighters in each weight class. Boxing is a sport with stiffer competition and much deeper weight classes which are why there were a need for more sanctioning bodies.
There is literally a different champion in the UFC every few months because the belts change hands so easily and so often.
Conor is the "undisputed" UFC champion without ever having faced ANY of top guys at lightweight other than Alvarez. Oh wait, he fought Nate Diaz who choked him out on ten days notice.
Floyd at least gets respect from other boxers as one of the best ever but Conor barely gets respect from any of his peers and there is a reason why.
I like Conor but he's being way overrated.

So?

He was inaccurate so i corrected him.

One is the biggest MMA star and the other boxings biggest.

Different sports.

Here are a few facts:

1) No one has ever hit over 2 million pay per view buys without the name "Mayweather" on the card.

2) Floyd shattered Tiger Woods record for the highest earnings made in a year by an athlete.

3) Floyd has the biggest social media following of any fighter retired or active.

And the reason why Conor's fights have a great atmosphere is because of the Irish fans who support him. They remind me of Ricky Hatton's fans would fly out by the tens of thousands to support him.

Floyd Mayweather is the best boxer ever....

Will Conor be the best UFC fighter ever????

[Cinci Champ]

why do people keep saying he is so much bigger then Floyd?? he is 5'9 and fights at what 143?

he just fought at 155 and was bigger then the champ there. also fought at 170 recently. he would for sure be alot bigger then floyd on fight night

Not arguing McGregor v. Mayeather.

Talking about the UFC belt v. a boxing belt...and in the public's opinion, I'd say the UFC belt generally means more.

Mayweather is not the best boxer ever.

McGregor probably isn't even the best UFC fighter now.
