umm.. conor is not a boxer, hasn't even boxed amateur level. him fighting floyd will be the biggest joke in boxing since ali fought a wrestler in japan.

Sad truth is it's because boxing fans like golf fans are constantly fighting a subconscious battle to mystify what's essentially a very basic sport. One way they do this is entry barriers
The idea that someone who's not a trained boxer could come along and use his celebrity status to without any boxing background fight in what might be the sports most lucrative ever fight threatens that, worst of all it will attract all sorts of horrible "casuals" - people who don't regularly use terms like "life and death" "taxi driver" and bum
Essentially that's also why people hate on Tyson fury - he's not a conventional boxer. Boxing has a fan base who the amongst the most snobbish of all sports, like golf, and it's because they are trying to create a set of conventions which keep the sport mystified and don't expose it for the basic sport it really is. When people like fury, floyd and potentially Conor turn up, don't play the rules, take shortcuts and mKe loSds of moneh from it they hate it
Look I'm a massive boxing man but you know this is all true

that wrestler was allowed to use his entire skillset against Ali
Connor will be forced to rely only on his limited boxing skills and abandon the rest of his MMA arsenal, making it a real joke of a fight
**** anyone defending this circus
this is nothing but an easy paycheck for Floyd and Connor the whore
