    To be fair Michael Bisping isn't much of
    a puncher in the UFC and he has a lot of wins and he is largely a stand up fighter right? He did KO Rockhold
    though.

    I am with Froch on this though. I genuinely don't expect Conor to even land a solid head shot. He just won't. He wouldn't be able to hit Floyd with a handful of rice.

      If a blockhead like Nate Diaz the MMA equivalent of like a Ruslan Provodnikov who spars Andre Ward, Joe Shilling etc says he has decent power and he dropped him a few times he has some pop.

      I don't think a guy like Guerrero would put a dent in Diaz tbh

        Mcgregor's power seems to be more strength (heavy) than anything else, the punching form he has is good enough to translate to good punching power that will go right through you, but he would have a difficult time stopping guys in boxing as his combinations is poor and his power doesn't last long at all before it devolves into that pitter patter stuff he does in training.

          He wasn't out cold? Badly hurt obviously
          He wasn't sleeping. But he was removed from his consciousness.

            You don't reckon? He is a big lump that Diaz and weighs like 170 lbs.

            Reckon Guererro (2013 version) couldn't drop him with 4 oz on?

              No question he hits harder than Guerrero. The weight and everything else considered I'd say he probably hit about as hard as Ortiz who I would put around mid-list.
              Different types of power too I'd say his power was more comparable to an Ortiz.

              He's not the puncher he is made out to be IMO these fighters just haven't the built up punch resistance and are clueless on how to fight a southpaw so get caught blind sided whilst overextending but he definitely will have some sort of power Floyd had ought to respect.
              Floyds older and slower too, chances are his punch resistance has diminished.

              He has some sort of punchers chance.
              I don't know I'd say Ortiz definitely hits harder.

                Also sleeping guys is rare, and more about sneaking up on guys with a bomb they dont see/expect. You wouldn't say Golovkin or Matthysse aren't big punchers because off the top I can only think of one guy each slept.

                  The few videos I've seen of McGregor sparring he looks mechanical with boxing gloves. He's definitely more fluid with 4 oz gloves. He probably hits harder than Guerrero in 4 oz gloves but about the same with boxing gloves because of his technique.

                  I remember an old video of Jeff Mayweather dropping King Mo Lawal with a body shot in training. It took him awhile to catch his breath. Just saying.

                    This is true too.

                    When people get properly put out it usually happens when they are exchanging hooks or caught coming in. Aside from the heavyweights who can occasionally put someone out with something that could have had a postcard sent ahead of it.

                    When Groves got sent to Mars by Froch. That simply wouldn't have happened even if he just stood there and ate the shot and stared at the ceiling.

                      As horrible as he may be
                      Is a professional boxer

                      So yeah P4P he punches harder than McGregor

                      Atleast that's what I believe

                      I'm with OP I don't see cracking power with conor
                      Dudes just fall down

                      Diaz didn't though
