Comments Thread For: Mayweather Assesses What He Saw in McGregor-Malignaggi Sparring

wut? how do you loose points in sparring?

Conor hired Joe Cortez to ref his sparring like it was a real fight including taking points/DQing him if necessary.

Why not bring in ricky hatton for sparring, have him go 12 rounds, former champion right? younger than floyd too.

I think Ricky's training with Joey Chestnut for next years Nathan's hot dog eating contest.

We only got a total of 1 minute of footage(9 seconds of real footage repeated over and over at different angles.) We dont know if he whipped paulie or not. Conor would be terrible as a boxer, he tried when he was young and he wasn't special at all....if he was special in boxing, i guarantee he would still be boxing.

False. After 2 amateur fights its hard to tell if he was special or not. And as far as the footage, there's more than one person out there saying Paulie got handled. 0-0 Conor should not have even been able to deal with a former world champ only 4 months from his last fight. He's special based on that, even if he is way out of his league with FMJ.

I can beat a world class sprinter in a race after they are completely exhausted. That doesn't prove I can compete in racing.

I hope all these people claiming McGregor will win come back to eat their words after this joke of a fight is over

Lol no, no you wouldn't. And what about the 2nd sparring session when Paulie got owned from the first second the fight started? Even when he was nowhere near exhausted? Here's the thing....I know Floyd will own Conor. This should not have even been sanctioned. I mean, Pacman is probably one of the best south paws of all time and didn't get the job done. Why would I think Conor, who has no pro experience would beat an atg Floyd? That's nonsense. But.....he's proved he can box at a high level, has some pop and he is a lot bigger than Manny. A loooot bigger. Anything could happen. Conor could hit him in his temple and drop him with his wild a55 shots. And I'm willing to bed Conor will go out trying hard. You just never know. That's all I'm saying.

Anybody can beat somebody in a race when COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED TO THE POINT THEY CAN'T RUN ANYMORE. Are you really too dumb to understand that simple logic?

You make claims about Conor "owning" Paulie from the start of a session that none of us have actually seen other than 9 seconds of footage of him landing on an out of shape Paulie in a shoulder roll defense.
