Comments Thread For: Tarver: McGregor Wouldn't Even Beat Diaz in Boxing Match

[BigZ44]

So is Tarver officially done as a fighter? That idea of fighting for a world title at HW gone, or is he thinking he can beat Briggs or Oquendo? We could change the WBA regular belt to the "old-timers" belt and have Tarver fight an eliminator against Adamek. Otherwise Tarver just gonna keep on taking those child support KOs

Umm he practically already beat Diaz in a boxing match. He knocked him down like 5 times and made Diaz lie on the ground like a ***** trying to beckon Conor to come down.

Another dumb boxer.

if you watch the fight, the big shots conor landed were because he was putting in the work brutalizing Nates legs with leg kicks, that left diaz off balance. go back to the first fight where Conor was wobbled and almost dropped with straight boxing, which led conor to turn into a desperate wrestler.
I know the hardcore boxing heads on here give MMA a tough time but Tarver isnt necessarily wrong. Conor was winning a kickboxing fight in the second fight but not a straight boxing match.

Just when you think the talk for this joke fight is dying someone else speaks on it smh

[Eff Pandas]

He already did though, even put Diaz on his ass a few times in the 2nd fight

This lol.

Conor was winning the striking battle in the first fight til he got tapped out. And he legit won the striking battle in the second fight. I don't know that putting on bigger gloves is gonna completely alter anything.

I actually think Diaz's boxing is extremely overrated, despite being a frequent Ward sparring partner, & certainly more overrated than Conor's. Conor's KO'd a ton of mfers & only strikes. He's garbage on the ground. Oddly Diaz is a f#cking ninja on the ground yet he loves to strike & that's largely way he gots double digit losses cuz his octagon IQ is lacking & just his knowledge of his own strengths & weaknesses aren't on par with reality it seems idk. Dig Nate, but he's a bit of an enigma as a fighter while still being very good & mad fun to watch

agree 100% this is a S H I T fight only reason Mayweather wants it its because he cannot make a hundred million dollar payday with any boxer with out risking getting beat (meaning he could get 100 mill fighting Pacman again canelo or ggg)

Pretty much this right here. It's a joke of a fight and I hate both fighters for wanting it, McGregor wants the payday too it's a disgrace.

[hrt3333]

He's a better boxer than Diaz stop hating

[Chrismart]

The fight is garbage, Tarver is right.

But on the McGregor/Diaz note, i think McGregor is a better boxer, has better movement.

I don't really care about this fight, but in the case of your post, this fight not being a real 50th win then you have to treat all other pro boxers the same.

Rungvisai has 13 fights against debuting opponents, who btw never fought again, so they are 0-1-0. Including 3 in a row as recent as 2016.

Because McGregor will be debuting and maybe not box again, making him 0-1-0, I understand people not seeing this as a legitimate win, I won't either. I'm just throwing it out there, that a current top 3 JBW fighter has 13 fights against debuting opponents who retired right after. Meaning of course that they were picked up off the streets, paid a little check to get in there with Rungvisai, get KTFO, and never to be seen again. Job done.

Same **** happening here, only that it's a star from another combat sport who has legitimacy in his respective combat sport and is the most popular fighter in his sport.

I'm just saying, let's also eliminate 13 wins off Rungvisai's record.

He's an mma guy with no boxing experience. It's a cash grab farce for both and that's just how I'll classify it. If you think it will be anything other than a boxing lesson with Connor landing jack sh@t , you're mistaken.

If you read (or carefully re-read) my post, you'd see that's not the case. The topic of my post isn't even remotely close to talking about how competitive this fight will be.
