My analysis of how Conner Mcgregor can actually upset Floyd.

[IronDanHamza]

Disagree with a lot of your post but disagree entriely with Maidana's lack of feints, hebuses feints really well.

He dropped Broner the first time by feinting the jab and coming up top with the left hook.

He caught Floyd off guard mutliple times with feints.

I very much doubt McGregor can do that.

Floyd is a masterful slick counter puncher who relies on control of distance to fully neutralize opponents. Floyd’s weakness is he has created a habit of fighting in straight lines in order to effectively pull off his arsenal.


Conner could set up a swarmer type routine of pressuring Floyd with feints and bursts of offense. The reason Maidana troubled Floyd but never seriously looked like he could win is Maidana was horrible with feints, and only relied on offensive pressure bursts. Floyd soon figure out the pattern and easily got the upper hand.


The key is to BOTH FEINT AND CREATE BURSTS OF OFFENSE. Which Conner is incredible at.Mayweather although skilled beyond belief in defense and footwork still tend to anchors his back foot to the canvas rather than be actually ‘fleet footed’ like an Ali. This once again hinders Floyd in regards to lateral movement.


I honestly believe you will be hard pressed to beat Conner by fighting in a straight line. Floyd for all his greatness is still a straight line fighter. The best ever straight line fighter but still a straight line fighter, while the true T1 greats like Ali/Leonard/Robinson are all lateral line fighters.


Because of all this. I pick Mayweather Decision 7-5 in a very closely contested back and forth battle. Won't be anywhere near as easy as people think.

just stop please!!!! what you said might have a point IF conor is actually a boxer.

Can't take a single word seriously when you spell his name "Conner".
