Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi: Conor McGregor Has Gained My Respect

[Boxfan83]

I mean honestly if you don't respect Conor you just don't know the guy...thats regardless what you think happens vs Floyd.

I have my criticisms of him BUT he trains hard and I do believe the reports that hes training to win. But unless Mayweather literally runs into a punch in the first 3-4rds, I cant see Conor winning and Floyd is way to arrogant to let Conor win a rd or 2 like some speculate.

Victor Ortiz also thinks very highly of himself, he also came from nothing and became a champion, I also think he truly believed he could beat Mayweather. And well...

Oddly I think this fight will look a lot like Ortiz vs. Mayweather except with out the controversy or hell who knows, controversy maybe involved but needless to say Floyd comes out un-scathed and 50-0.

Uhmmmm.....Ortiz was knocked out with an illegal punch enforced by a fraud ref. in a competitive fight.

Very different in my opinion.

Controversy aside man, you really think it was competitive? I rewatched this fight specifically when Conor vs Mayweather was made because thats the 1st fight that popped into my head. Big(muscular), young, athletic, southpaw, with a chip on his shoulder and all I seen was Floyd school him until ortiz threw 1 decent Flurry and spazzed out.

Now again controversy aside, I think itd be safe to say Ortiz wouldve found a way out of that fight in the later rds.

Does anybody even like Paulie?

Off the subject but looking at the face to face photos, McGregor head and jaw are very large compared to Floyd's. McGregor will be trying to hit a maize ball while Floyd is punching at large double end bag.

If he was writing me a check, He'd earn my respect as well.

Showtime owned Paulie. Keep selling this to the ones dumb enough to purchase.

Dumb? How bout for entertainment, what boxing fan wouldn't want to see a boxer beat up a ufc fighter?? Making a comment like that gets people thinking, are you broke? If not I'm sure you have been ripped off some time in your life even on a daily basis cuz nothing is worth the price labeled on anything now a days.

Yes, the best commentator in the game hands down. Roy #2 would be better if hbo didn't lower his volume.......
