Comments Thread For: Nate Diaz Slams Boxers Who Are Doing The 'McGregor Challenge'

[_original_]

No, you need to read again what he's saying. He's disrespecting our sport. Some Alpha boxers will address his bull soon. Watch for it.

Lol not really, Diaz is a dumb dude; think Rios. He actually speaks pretty well about boxing and is close with Andre Ward (even sparred him). I'd have to see the interview in full context I guess.

Really? Like who? Any names?

Berto for one, he didn't outright pick him but he was basically saying he wouldn't be surprised if Conor wins. But they are friends so am not surprised. The fact that some boxers aren't dismissing Conor shows they respect him. If I remember correctly when James Toney fought Randy couture under MMA rules I don't think anyone in MMA gave him a chance and rightly so.

Conor WILL win rounds against Floyd. Floyd has 0 percent chance of winning a mma round against any top fighter. Those are the facts.

So what youre saying is Connor can learn enough boxing to beat Floyd Mayweather but Floyd cant be taught take down leg strike defense and do a Aldo type KO.

Seems to me you got very big double standard going on.

I didn't know Berto was friends with McGregor. Personally, I still don't have any opinion on this fight, although I hype Floyd when with MMA fans. I'm actually not sold on Floyd at this late point of his career-- too old, too retired, too everything. I want him to win, but I don't really know.

I'd be more confident if Spence was in place of Floyd.

Age matters.

I think Mayweather age and inactivity definitely gives Conor that little chance at the back of our heads. My issue is the fact that Conor has never box before. Unless Mayweather injured both his hands then am not expecting any shock in this fight.

Not expecting any shock either, but Floyd isn't the same guy anymore. If I were him, I'd watch for the first few punches.

He will be ok because he is fighting a novice.

I would be worried for Floyd if he was fighting Spence, Thurman, Crawford or fighters of that nature.

[Zaroku]

well, he's not lying.

it's true that floyd the woman beater would get mounted in seconds and be forced to tap out.

You get mounted all the time, yet never tap out!

[Zaroku]

The glove change favors Floyd. As long as he gets pain numbing injections he'll be fine.

He's just salty cuz people are goofing on the rubber arms thing Conor's guy hijacked from Rickson Gracie who I believe is the uncle to Nate's trainer Cesar Gracie. Its like sh^tting on his trainer probably to him & its definitely sh^tting on his trainers family.
