    A Case For Why Conor Hits Harder Than Expected...

    We know for a fact punching power is gifted. It cannot be trained.
    Idiots saying Guerrero trained his entire life punching therefore he punches harder. False. Malignaggi trained an entire life too so did Andre Ward but they both punch like nutless phaggets.


    Mcgregor has 18 KOs in 21 wins all in either the 1st or 2nd round. this is a very astounding statistic. What is Guerrero's KO% within 3 rounds? does he have any?


    Give or take the opposition is lower than boxing opponents, HOWEVER you have to keep in mind he's also throwing fewer punches due to kicks. longer range of MMA. wrestling portions etc. So with fewer thrown punches than in boxing, he still KO's vast majority of his competition within 2 rounds.


    that speaks for outlier punching power in MMA. I would say maybe he has the greatest KO % of any MMA champion pound for pound. punching power will absolutely transfer to boxing.


    Think about that for a second. all KO's within first 2 rounds before he gasses.


    he has a bad gas tank no doubt but those first 3 rounds(5 minute rounds rounded down to 3 min boxing rounds).

    does it really matter?
    punching power is meaningless if you can't hit your target cleanly..

      he will hit Floyd. I can guarantee you that.


      he has pretty good timing. that left cross on aldo was quick with great timing.

        How many 1 punch KOs does McGregor have? His KOs aren't like boxing KOs because when you knock an opponent down in MMA you can punch him while he's laying down. None of his KOs save for maybe 1 would have been KOs in boxing.

          Weird logic and not true at all.

            His punches are still KD's. regardless.


            If Floyd catches 1 clean in the first 3, his old ass is going down.

              He hit Nate with everything he had, Nate kept coming on and made him quit in the first fight plus he wasn't using 10oz gloves, so no, he doesn't even have a puncher's chance

                Nate got knocked down 4 times in the first 2 rounds of the 2nd fight. Conor also had to punch up cus Nate's like 6 foot.


                COnor overlooked nate first fight.

                  Not to mention the fight was at 170lbs and Nate has a 76 inch reach.

                  Floyd is tiny compared to Nate.

                    You know what PT Barnum said, there's one born every second.

                    He was right.
