Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Explains Why Conor McGregor Would Fail at Boxing

[FrankieClutch]

Malignaggi is **** on the money with this ....any decent fighter from welter up would make a mess of Mcgregor.

Not even from Welter up. I'd put all my money on Chocolatito beating the brakes off of Connor. Weight disparity doesn't mean sh.t when one guy isn't a boxer

[eco1]

let's be real:

In a street fight or ufc Connor wins.
In a boxing ring, the g ay one wins.

It's so obvious Paulie want to make $$ with McGregor.

[Mexican_Puppet]

Paulie you were a clown, a poor mediocre boxer that always got a lose with good fighters.

Your word doesn't mean anything.

[Cheek busting]

Paulie, will you go away, please? NO - you're not getting a payday from Connor.

You're an embarrassment - a pillow fisted clown.

Lol, they should have entitled your two fights with Juan Diaz - "PILLOWFIGHT!"

ya remember mccrapper gettin tagged left and right by chris van herdeen

[RisAri0]

Conor can throw punches accurately and has decent counters/timing.... but so does journey men in the sport of boxing.. nuff said.

[Boxfan83]

Anyone that has ever sparred with MMArtist and good amateurs or pros, I think can all agree that the difference between the 2 is the reaction when the punches/combos start flowing. Rythmm & punch resistence is very different.

[Basco]

If his boxing is as "Good" as Ronda's....well.......Remember some people said she could beat Mayweather in boxing too and we all know how that ended.

[IR0NFIST]

We all know Conor has never boxed as a pro, but he still held his own in an intense sparring session with a former IBF title holder, and that speaks volumes. Knowing this, you've got to expect that Conor could step into the ring right against Pauline and absolutely wreck him. Pauline's been a punching bag for the most part of his career, he has no footwork or power. He's been relying on his jab now more than ever, and if he couldn't stop Hatton and Porter from closing the distance, then a superior athlete like Conor will walk right through him. If Conor is serious about trying his hand at boxing as a pro, this would be his ideal first fight. Like any other difficult undertaking, you start from the bottom, not the top.
