Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: McGregor an Above Average Puncher, Very Accurate

[cally93]

To think that he was going to climb into a boxing ring, wearing boxing gloves for the first time in a sanctioned professional boxing match, and have more pure boxing punching power than a Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao, etc...no chance.

Hell Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto have a 48 combined KO's between them with boxing gloves on. Does anybody in here really think that McGregor would have more pure punching power in a boxing ring than those guys? F**k no.

The scariest thing is the casuals all think he has this amazing power, even though most boxer have been punching the majority of their lives lol.

I've said so many times a national level fighter will school and stop mcgregor never mind mayweather.

Imo most mma fighters have poor chins, obviously some will be able to take a punch on the button but most will fold against a boxer.

I mean look at Ronda Rousey as a recent example, she was seen as a monster in the UFC and as soon as she came up against someone who actually punches she got sparked (and again later) and the exact same will happen here.

You gotta be kidding. His only chance other than hoping Floyd gets old over night(in which i still thibk floyd would probably outbox him in a closer fight since the skill gap is so huge but ) is landing a lucky punch which that monster knockout power everyone said he had and hoe it lands clean and either hurts ot stops floyd.

Who the hell says he has "monster knockout" power? The guy punches other people who hug and kick their opponents...what is so impressive about that?

No mystery power. None.

Best chances:

1. Floyd aged overnight and - at 40, coming off a 2 year layoff - there's an honest chance of that happening

2. Conor's weird approach makes it hard for Floyd to read, counter, and defend against since it's so awkward. In this scenario Floyd still very likely wins, but if you combine it with #1 and Floyd is an old 40...who knows?

Obviously Vegas betting odds reflect what's going to happen in all honesty

Leave Paulie alone, he's the best commentator we got hands down. Roy can be a great commentators too but HBO has his volume on low.......

Roy let's his bias show too much too. I like Paulie the most, hands down.

Man I wish we still had Emmanual Steward. Very good and to the point
