Comments Thread For: McGregor: I'll Be 170-Plus in There, Mayweather Won't Last!

I watched it again, and I still can't believe how bad McGregor looks as a boxer.

This is truly amature vs seasoned professional.

This is garbage is just comedy now.

I can see Floyd looking a little bewildered by the Wildman antics early on and adjusting and countering until McGregor gets tired. Once that happens it will be the first time in a long time that we will all see Floyd fight on the front foot.

Did you see that horrible copy of the shoulder roll Paulie tried to do? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Paulie's legs are so Freaking shot and he has no power to fight in the pocket. Perfect confidence booster for McGregor.

Gotta admit the sparring footage was interesting. Like a lot of people I was a little bit awed by that straight left hand McGregor planed into Paulie's face in the first part of the clip (not in the knockdown sequence).

McGregor looks awkward and slow - but in a Steve Collins kind of way. Very similar to Collins actually. Which made me think about what Eubank said.. This has definitely been a prefight buildup of unique drama with many bizarre subplots.

McGregor intelligently took credit for everything that's happened. He itemized every event that's gone viral.. Conor McGregor is incredibly bright. His intelligence might be the most impressive thing about him.. Too bad he's going to get embarrassed and destroyed.. He's hard not to admire..

Here's that Eubank clip.

That left landed right on the button. Had no effect though and mcgreggor was throwing all arm punches, then it came out this was from the 11th round, so he was gassed as hell at that point. His only chance is some miracle in the first round. Round one will be interesting, since conor ignores all common sense and all convention in boxing, hes also hard to predict.

Exactly!!! Outside of something crazy in the 1st few rounds this fight is a win for Floyd. When McGregor gets tired he doesn't engage. Once that happens Floyd is going to walk him down. I believe McGregor is strong but stronger then all the boxers Floyd has faced before? I just have a hard time putting believe in those kind of odds.

There's no evidenxe Diaz was 200 lbs. He's just making that up.

They both weigh about 170 and cut to make 155. The whole "size" excuse is a joke.

I'd say the "size" difference between Diaz and McGregor is about the same as McGregor vs Floyd... Diaz is significantly bigger the Mcgregor at his walk around weight even though McGregor was dehydrating in the danger zone for each of his Featherweight fights at 145.... I've read somewhere Mcgregor walks around at 170 - 175, while Diaz walks around in the 190 - 200 zone...

Not quite...

I think the only way Floyd doesn't knock him out is if he injures one or both of his hands, in which case he would win 120-108.

Source for Diaz walking around at 190-200? He denys that claim.

The size difference is no where near the same.

McGregor is massive compared to Floyd.

Diaz and McGregor are around the same size. Both cut and compete at 155.
