    His gas tank is bad and he wilted from Nate Diaz's boxing who isn't a big puncher.

      Behave, Jeff Horn was on the Australian Olympic team. He's actually been a boxer perfecting his craft. Disrespectful to compare him to McGregor when speaking from a BOXING point of view.

        LOL, that's a good one. Liam Smith is beyond European level and fringe world level. McGregor would struggle to win a British title.

          Should be higher?? Dude there's zero question at all that Paulie's boxing IQ is not only higher, but infinitely higher.

          And yes, Paulie beats McGregor. Easily. Paulie UD's the **** out of McGregor.

          Paulie has been in the ring with the likes of Danny Garcia, Adrien Broner, Shawn Porter, Zab Judah, Amir Khan, Miguel Cotto, and Ricky Hatton. He's been in the ring with top shelf, world class boxers. McGregor doesn't even have a legitimate fraction of the boxing acumen those guys have.

            Your biased hatred of Pacquiao wants you to believe this. Either that or you really have such a low opinion of boxing to really believe that an amateur level Conor McGregor can step into a boxing ring and beat a guy who has been training at this craft his entire career. The combined record of Horn's last 9 opponents is 240-25. You really think a guy who doesn't have a single professional boxing fight under his belt is going to beat a legitimate professional boxer who's five years deep into his pro career not even counting amateur experience?

            F**k while we're at it I'd take all 9 of those Horn opponents who I just mentioned to beat McGregor.

              McGregor could beat anyone....if they agree to take a dive like Eddie Alvarez did.

                Hell Randall Bailey's 42 year old ass would decapitate McGregor. The f**king arena groundskeepers would have to go up into the 20th row just to retrieve Conor's head.

                  You CAN'T really believe this. You can't. If you do, man, you gotta turn in that boxing fan card ASAP. Your **** needs to be revoked.

                    Noobie boxing fan I can admit that and I am a huge McGregor mark in mma but I know floyd kills him.

                    In regards to Conor vs Liam I feel Liam dont have the power to KO Conor and he moves about as fast as Molasses and I believe he would brawl not box so I give conor a chance.

                      Nobody professional.

                      I don't think you understand what a disadvantage it is to have never actually boxed.

                      I could beat him. Seriously, and I would meet him and the rest of you in any gym in the country to prove it. I've been boxing for 11 years, I've trained for 3 hours a day for 6-7 days a week for stretches. I've sparred professionals and amateurs alike. I've had AM fights against fighters who've never had a professional bout who would take his head clean off, and won. I can switch stances, I can cycle through many styles in a single round, I can give a guy two combos a round plus jabs and sweep him never giving him the opportunity to adjust. I know what it's like to be pushed, to be bullied and persevere through adversity. I know how to roll, slip, duck, weave, and pivot away from anything you throw at me. I know how to control the ring, how to cut the ring off, how to stay in your chest and on balance and let my hands go the second you aren't throwing and go mid step. I know how to steal a round, and how to dominate one.

                      I'm also a 6 year war vet who's successfully stopped countless take down attempts from mma fanbois in my platoon in hand to hand combat and knife fighting to where I would be extremely confident against anyone with an mma background in any ring, or octogon, confident I could end the fight on my feet and in dominating fashion.

                      What kind of a disgrace to the sport of boxing would I be if after all the work and dedication to the art of boxing, I would lose a round, to some scrub Irishman who's won a handful of fights in the mess of a league that the UFC is? I'd be damned if I lost to someone who's never boxed an official round in his life, me a savant of boxing, a student of the game. I've humbled gifted professionals an Olympian level fighters alike in sparring, I'd never lose to Connor, and I'm not a professional boxer. And you think even club level fighters would be game for this cat? Literally any professional fighter should be favored against him. It's a joke that anyone would think otherwise. The talent disparity between professional boxing and the UFC is gargantuan. Guys like Prescott would wipe out McGregor in one round. I could literally walk into my gym and pick a BEGINNER to fight him, and it would be dead even at worst.

                      You can laugh, but if you don't think over a decade of dedication to this sport doesn't separate you in a big way from someone who hasn't ever tried to take the sport seriously for even a span of 12 months, you DKSAB.
