Forget Power, Does McGregor have any speed?

[Reloaded]

People seem to say he has fast hands. I don't really see it, his hands don't look fast to me.

His timing seems decent, in the few fights I've seen him seems to time his punches well but it's hard to judge because he's facing MMA fighters and not Boxers.

Footspeed and footwork wise I've seen nothing impressive at all.

Me neither he pushes punches its not the same crack at the end that boxers have, off course he has some pop but I doubt very much he can punch as hard as the guys Floyd has beat.

There is an interview where Sonnon goes on about the different ways of striking in MMA vs boxing, he seems to think Floyd will hit harder, Bisping is saying the same stuff he thinks boxers hit way harder than MMA guys because of technique and punching is all boxers ever do so its perfected, and they also say the level of guy being hit in elite boxing, is so much higher than in MMA.

Its all relative.

Punching fast and hard in boxing is very different in MMA.

Why forget power? Punching in MMA is also very different when it comes to power.

I'm crap and only every did MMA and boxing to learn how to defend myself and for fun. But boxers hit punch way ****ing harder than MMA guys. Malignaggi would knock the **** out of MMA fools with MMA gloves on.

Power comes from how hard you punch, accuracy, and how much you see the punch coming.

It doesn't look like McGregor hits very hard on the heavy bag. Not too fast either. Won't be accurate either.

The thing is even if hes fast, he's not gonna be the fastest guy Mayweather has fought. Or the hardest puncher.

He's gonna get destroyed. The only question is how long will Mayweather carry him before he puts him away?

Very good questions. COMBINATION speed is something I haven't seen him showcase. What about combination endurance? How many punches can he throw consecutively with precision?

No combination speed???????????

WHAT??????????

Conor is known specifically for his speed, precision and power.

How about a 4 punch combo against another world champ in which every punch lands clean,


and that gif is slowed down by the way

Hes got a few tricks in his bag. Lead right uppercut which will get him starched. He also leans back to dodge a punch then returns with the straight left which is a move straight out of FMJ's book. Maybe a chitty jab --- thats it! His hooks blow.
