Comments Thread For: Nate Diaz: McGregor Has Puncher's Chance For First 2-3 Rounds

[Eff Pandas]

All McGregor has to do is finish him.

That could happen in a variety of ways: cuts, injury etc.

McGregor will be much stronger in the clinch and has experience with wrestling. There's a chance he turns Floyd in the clinch and pops his knee out.

I wouldn't rule that possibility out, especially since Floyd is 40 years old and hasn't fought in almost 2 years. At some point that's going to catch up with you, and at some point his body might break down and it might catch up with him in this fight against a much younger and much stronger opponent.

Pops his knee out?!?!?! LMFAO what the f#ck.

And wouldn't that just be a NC? Usually that's what they do it seems like.

That Charles Martin/Glaskov-sp fight was extra weird in that they didn't NC that fight. And I mean with the names involved here I think they'd love a NC over giving Floyd a L over his knee popping out. Lets not forget Floyd shoulda got DQ'd for the Roger incident in the Zab Judah fight, but they can't DQ Floyd. If anything they'd probably DQ Conor for f#cking up Floyd's leg with wrestling tricks or whatever you're talking about.

Not saying that's going to happen, but it could happen. Like you said, there could be a Glazkov/ Martin situation where the knee just gives out. Floyd is 40 and he's been fighting for 20 years. He's got mileage on those knees.

He doesn't even have a puncher chance...

Pretty much this ^^^, for me this is an exibition fight. I understand why the fight is made but it's a joke when you analysis it.

At the end of the day they both make a lot of money, Conor has nothing to lose and Mayweather makes a lot of money in a relative easy fight.

which boxer would we bet on conor to beat ?!?!? is there one ?!?!?! even khan would get my money.

[Freedef]

Yeah Maidana couldnt ko him so connor will. God damn

[Elroy The Great]

jmm vs conor would be a lopsided ''fight'' that NO ONE WOULD PAY 10 CENTS TO SEE

[Metho_4u]

if conor beats floyd boxing as a sport might as well stop existing. nobody ever will take a boxing fan serious again. the only way floyd loses is taking a dive to triple his earnings. other than that should be a devastating knockout for floyd. if he doesnt KO a guy whos below amateur level that's another bad look for boxing. if floyd takes this crap serious he should slaughter conor in 4 rounds or less.

I've wondered if Floyd would take a dive. Hell, it would be over triple his earnings more than likely. Floyd is competitive though, so I'm not sure he would be able to do that. Especially after Conor starts running his mouth at press conferences and all that.

[TheBigLug]

Pretty funny.

Floyd's bread and butter is guys chasing him around trying to knock him out. He can deal with that all day without breaking a sweat...and that's when world class BOXERS are the ones trying to do it.

Let's be honest, Floyd wouldn't even use someone of Conor's boxing skills as a sparring partner for his prospects, never mind himself, let alone fight them for real.

[Liondw]

Mayweather by ko from the sheer number of punches he lands on McGregor. So many boxers would beat McGregor but this is a big cash-in. Many complain, including me, yet out of sheer curiosity would want to watch it lol
