I honestly believe that Connor could be world class in any sport

[Raggamuffin]

The sky's the limit for him. He's got one of the deepest sports background of any professional athlete. He was known to be a great soccer prospect before switching to fighting. He has incredible hand-eye conordination which could translate into a successful career in baseball and golf. Ireland is known for its skating rinks and cold weather and I've read articles saying Connor is very good on the ice too. I genuinely believe we have never seen a man that could succeed in so many sports before come this close to the top of boxing. He is a genetic freak that could win at any sport he tried. The only other athlete that has been as successful in multi sports is Bo Jackson and Connor edges him in the amount of sports he can excel in.

You don't believe that. You're just trolling lmao.

You have a serious case of too much Conor worship. I admire him myself but you are taking it to extreme by starting thread after thread about how wonderful he is and how he is the best boxer in history. This a boxing forum and I am a boxing fan first and foremost although I have become a fan of cage fighting as well. Personally I don't care about any of the non combat sports like football, baseball, soccer, ice skating, etc. You are just guessing that Conor would be successful at all these other sports. You don't know if he would really be that good at any of them. I go by proven results and not the guesswork of a hero worshiping fan. Conor has yet to defeat a pro boxer under boxing rules. Therefore he is completely unproven as a boxer. You have no right to proclaim him history's greatest boxer over and above all the great and battle tested, proven champions that came before him. If he beats Mayweather you have every right to get excited about him and praise him to the sky. Until then Conor hasn't done **** as a boxer and he is a huge betting underdog against a 40 year old retired smaller boxer.

First of all look at his background. He was a very highly praised soccer prospect in Ireland and he admitted he could've gone far in that sport but chose fighting. He has video evidence of how accurate he is with a basketball. He is supremely conditioned and has the sheer will it takes to win at everything he does. It might be a reach to say he would dominate ice hockey but Ireland is known for their rinks and rest assured Connor according to some reports can skate very well. We know in combat he is elite for sure there is no doubt of that.

If he was a genuine football (soccer) prospect, he would have been snapped up by a pro team by the time he was about 13 or younger and put into their youth system. He would have stuck with it too, do you know how much money they make?

He wasn't a genuine prospect at all, he was probably just pretty decent at it, like 80% of kids in UK and Ireland. He was playing for local level sunday league teams when he was an adult already lol.

If you're gonna be a pro, you'll probably know it by about age 13 or even younger. That's how it works here. My nephew is already on the books of pro team as part of their academy and he's not even 8 yet.

he would stuff and dunk on lebanon jerome whenever he wanted. he could be a harlem globetrotter. he's like michael jordan, kobe bryant, lebanon jerome, and eric montross rolled into one sick player.

Recently Connor said he is the face of the fight game and I think he's wrong. At this point he's bigger than the UFC he's bigger than boxing. He's a global transition star.

[RussB23]

I think he could surpass CR7 if he went to La Liga. Hes truly special.

[saintpat]

Fake News.

He'd be terrible at curling.

[GrandmasterWang]

I would destroy Conor at table tennis.

I think he could be solid at hop scotch though. He practices in the ring... he will debut after he fights Floyd

I could see Conor dominating Dodgeball on ESPN Ocho.
