    Conor McGregor simply isn't a good enough fighter, tbh

    Conor is 29 years old right now, and when Floyd was 29 he fought De la Hoya. So at 29, Conor is doing more than Floyd. But I don't think he's going to sustain and maintain that level of success. MMA fighters usually have a short reign of success. Can Conor maintain his position for 10 more years? I think the correct answer is it's possible but not likely.
    Conor has the potential, but you've got to be able to consistently win to have the chance.

    I don't think that McGregor beats Diaz in a third fight, and apparently Khabib and Tony Ferguson are dynamic enough to also give McGregor hell (and that's not even mentioning the young guy that no one even knows now who's coming).

    To repeat what Floyd's been able to accomplish, you've got to start with a Floyd-level talent; tools/ability out the wazzoo, with the skill to handle anything thrown at him and still win.

    There may be others, but the only two obvious names that the UFC has of that I'll are Jon "Bones" Jones and Demetrius "Mighty Mouse"Johnson (though size may be an issue), and in both cases, the most profitable way to max out with either guy is sadly has "heel" champion.

      Stop acting like you are cheering for Floyd while defending Trump and Conor. You know there's Truth in what I'm saying. Floyd is greater than Conor and Trump combined. Floyd's father didn't fight for him in the ring to be great like Trump inheriting his empire....

      Floyd is an ATG. Conor is a weight draining bum as well as the bigot loving Trump supporters
      your assuming and you don't have actual facts to back up your claim plain and simple. like 10 people will be at my house for this circus were all Floyd fans and id say about 8 of them are Floyd fans. the other 2 just like to party lol. Floyd is an all time great one of my favorites of all time

            Of course. I lived in New York and San Diego too. Always met cool Mexican people in California. All hipster and casual looking Hispanic people. However immigration is a world thing so I empathize. The USA doesn't have refugees on your streets with grandmothers and there grand kids sticking out their hands for money. We at least have opened the doors for 100,000's of refugees from Syria here. Our leader at least has compassion as a narrative to help them in live broadcasts vs just calling them all rapists and criminals. As if America's melting pot of Hispanic professionals from lower middle classes to upper middles classes are all byproducts of rapists and criminals.

            Get the point? Trump is the worst and vile speaking ******* that anybody cheering for this goon is an idiot. Just keeping it real.

              Other than fighting Floyd himself I don't see McGregor ever doing over 2 million PPV buys or 4 million buys.

                  Conor has quit on himself three times by the age of 29. Floyd did what he did with a boring style that nobody likes and without the media hype machine of UFC behind him. Floyd is still top of the world at 40. Conor won't be a fighter at 30.

                      Doubt he can match Floyd's consistency. Look at Ronda Rousey. Biggest star of UFC, appeared in movies, sold millions of PPV's. Two KO's in a row and she is no longer relevant.
