Comments Thread For: McGregor To Use Malignaggi as Sparring Partner For Mayweather

[ConRaffery]

Hypothetical scenario of course but if mac v mayweather fought with four oz mma gloves under traditional boxing rules in a ring , would you pick Floyd to win as easily as he is going to win this upcoming fight with ten oz boxing gloves, any thoughts

Yes

Bad choice of sparring partners as he resembles Mayweather in no way style-wise, even sparring is just not going to stand in front of him and let Mac pound on him Floyd is not going to use a lot of movement he's going to use upper body and head movement not the almost virtual running,sometimes, that Pauly does.

Yea Punchless Paula is a Mayweather clone a real duplicate-what a HOOT

Using Paulie as a sparring partner is like using a lamb for a Lion fight. Paula has no punch or speed and will screw up Leprechaun mini Conor so much the fight might be cancelled. Conor could pick 10 guys off Harlem streets quicker and better than weak feminine Paula Mags.

Paulie is a stooge for Mayweather. He is going to try and help hype this fight by praising Conor's boxing skills and trying to plant a seed in the heads of casuals that this will actually be competitive.

Mosley would be the better choice, but this isn't bad as a sparring partner because of the pillows for gloves.

Mcgregor gonna get his balls boxed off in sparring too, at least he'll have some idea of what he's in for

[Califire209]

Given McGregor's complete lack of pro boxing experience, Paulie should actually be able to give McGregor good work in the gym from sparring to strategy and techniques. As far as speed and reflexes are concerned, how will McGregor be able to improve to the point where he has even a remote chance of beating Mayweather? Even with a fast, busy boxer like Khan or a slick counter puncher with boxing IQ like Lara, it would be unlikely that McGregor would be able to learn and improve enough in a short period of time to be able to challenge on an elite level.

Yeah he probably doesn't have enough time to improve but talking strictly sparring partners those two men are the best in my opinion to bring into camp.. never said he had enough time or he had what it took to beat Mayweather I'm talking strictly sparring partners boss

[aboutfkntime]

Paulie absolutely would help someone at McGregor's level with sparring, and EVERYTHING else related to boxing.....

Conor should include Paulie in his camp just as a tactician/advisor

you guys are nuts

they have 1 camp to prepare for Mayweather

1 short camp

the earlier comment about Paulie being close to Mayweather is correct..... in saying that, I would absolutely trust Paulie if he gave his word and was committed to that camp

[Combat Talk Radio]

Paulie is going to come out of the sparring session and praise conor in public

Good call bro!

[MrRolltide91]

Good call bro!

Lol it was too predictable


Paulie works for Showtime
