It's a the enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of deal.

We wanna see Floyd get sparked out, but not by a ****stain who disrespects boxing the way Mcgregor does.

Fair enough

How do you rate conors defense? I only saw like a minute of the 2nd round vs nate and he was getting tagged alot by nate who has slow hands compared to Floyd.

Conor has been known to get tagged.

Its part of his style though. He likes to let guys hit him as a way of getting into range and then smashes them.

Aldo connected with the hook he threw on Conor..... Didn't go so wel for him though.

In boxing how ever I hope he will use better defense than he does in MMA. But who knows what he will do.

You are correct. However there are a few X factors to consider.

If Floyd has proven anything over the years its that fighting him like a high level boxer doesn't work.

Conor isn't going to do that. Conor has developed a very unorthadox and extremely effective style of boxing that works for MMA. It uses a much longer range and borrows A LOT form karate point fighting.

Floyd is also older now and fighters do tend to get old over night (see roy jones) i'm not saying thats the case here but if it is thats a problem for floyd.

If you are expecting Conor to plod forward like canello did against floyd your are sorely mistaken. he will have a long sidways stance and he will be lunging in and out with blitzes. whether it works or not remains to be seen.

I kinda see what you're saying but i dont entirely agree. Theres been certain styles that have worked atleast for a while vs floyd just that once he adjusts the others werent able to adjust back. You need plan a b c and d vs floyd. Jose luis castillo was able to have some success as was judah and oscar and cotto and maidana. Some either gassed and werent able to keep doing what they wanted or had just a plan a and once he adjusted to them they didnt have no answer.

I would say Conor has a plan A and MAYBE a plan B.

He will be banking on his power and precision to make plan A or B get him the KO.

Believe me NO ONE thinks Conor can outbox Floyd including Conor...

He isn't going to try to outbox Floyd. He is just going to try to knock him out cold.

If that doesn't work then he has nothing for Floyd tactically

In MMA? or Boxing?

For Boxing id have to go with Sugar Ray Robinson

In MMA there are 3 guys in that conversation.

George St Pierre

Anderson Silva

Jon "Bones" Jones

Up until recently I was an Anderson Silva guy.

But after last weekend its pretty sae to say Jon Jones is the greatest we have ever seen.

So Jon Jones? What about Silva?

Whats your take on CMPunk?

So Jon Jones? What about Silva?

Anderson Silva is the closest thing to the characters Bruce Lee played in movies in real life.

Extremely dominant run. And was a god in the cage. He fought like he was in the matrix

Truely beautiful to watch.

Jon Jones is better than him.

Whats your take on CMPunk?

Probably the same take most people on here have about Conor.

Ended up being correct.
