A loss for boxing if Conor McGregor lasts the distance?

[The Bloody-Nine]

A ****ing pro wrestler won the UFC HW title in his 4th fight in the sport. MMA seems to have survived.

And yes, I know Lesnar won the NCAA title twice. He was still a complete novice.

i never said it was you, but that's what the floyd fans was running around with.

Oh ok. I was like "what the heck is he talking about?"

[tomhawq]

it's a huge ripoff if all pbf (p*ssy boy floyd) could do is survive, run, potshot, hold, run, survive... he's supposed to entertain the crowd.

don't know why people are willing to reward this guy $100 million for something even lara can do.

Surviving 12 rounds would be bad yes bad but funny enough a Conor win would be GOOD for boxing. It would not mean that MMA > boxing at all as Conor is so far ahead of your typical MMA striker.

If Conor wins he will have to be considered a legit BOXER, that used boxing skills to beat the best boxer there is. How is that bad?

We'd have Conor VS Canelo and Conor VS GGG to look forward to. A Conor win would be HUGE for boxing and take all the spotlight off MMA. Don't think for one second Dana White actually wants Conor to win.

brock beat on a bunch of old guys or guys that were damaged good. as soon as he stepped up to someone decent and still in
their prime (cain velasquez) he lost.

he beat randy couture, when randy was pushing near 60! on his way out! lol. and randy was never being talked about as one of ufc greatest. he beat frank mir, another fighter on his way out. and then with shane carwin, another old ass fighter. all 3 of these guys were never being talked about as ufc greatest.

This event is kind of like the superbowl. There is so much money involved i would think that the sponsors would want Floyd to carry Connor for more than 6 rounds at least.

there's always talk on how floyd is dropping his sparring partners
and now he'll be facing a noob of boxing
he needs to get the K.O..
or at least in my opinion
it's a lose for him
