So pick a novice fighter to go 12 rds and not pacman. Smart business move sir. Pac is definitely not the fight you would ever want again.

ONE THING I LEARNED IS THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW TO JUST RELAX AND ENJOY. Always some ******* who's never late with useless criticism. It was a great spectacle and they were going at each other with all they had. What more could you really ask for with a KO ending? Both fighters made alot of promises and ofcourse they both can't keep them all. But you know damn well both fighters did their best to keep to what they said they were going to do. The buildup was insane..so much hype to live up to. There were alot of punches thrown by both fighters that got me to the edge of my seat all the way til the end. You never knew if Conor was gonna just start swinging all out and maybe catch Floyd, but Conor made the right choice to try to throw shots as accurately as he can. It shows he does have skills and is experienced enough to not be reckless and get caught coming in. You can't really ask more of Mcgregor considering the position he came from. When it comes fight night people always bet on Floyd to not be Floyd ,and you never know when you'll get old over night. But he has been flawless his whole career. Absolutely grateful to witness one of the greatest pure boxers in my lifetime.

P.S. Just wondering if anyone out there is still questioning Floyd's chin? Alot of people really thought that Floyd would get knocked out in almost all of the fights in the second half of his career. There was so much trash talk and for them to be respectful of each other at the end shows alot of class from both guys(They both prob just got their checks too). The comments after felt pretty genuine from each guy. You can tell Conor picked up alot from the experience in his post fight interviews. Both truly students of the game.

LMFAO you got owned, outboxed and outclassed. Byrd saved you the first chance he got. There was no doubt Conor was on his way to stopping floyd late.

Here it is everyone, the 20 second Dana White edit. Previously seen against Chris Van Heerden and Paulie Malignaggi.

This was in round 1 or 2, right? They were the rounds Floyd didn't throw a punch in, right? Just gave them up to figure his man out? I think everyone agreed with that on commentary, and Floyd himself said it.

I feel sorry for you I really do. You hero was battered, bruised and outclassed. Not only that, but he was out-powered. That fearsome head-snapping, KO power we kept hearing about turned out to be nothing but pitty-pats. Mayweather walked right through him while Conor back-pedalled all night.

But to invent your own reality of the fight, one in which Floyd was going to be stopped later on is real sad. I actually feel for you.

Bye now.

No one wants to see that again. Pacquiao was completely outclassed and couldn't make it remotely competitive.

Awesome post, easily the best one in the thread so far. Totally agree.

Can't understand why people didn't enjoy the fight, it was very entertaining and everything I expected and more. Mayweather put on a brilliant display and McGregor gave it everything he had. Floyd's just on a different level to everyone else, in boxing and in MMA. All we can do now is salute him for an amazing career. 50 wins, 21 years, almost 30 wins against world champions and only 2 of them were even close. Love him or hate him he's one of the GOATS for sure.

Floyd Is on a different level than anyone In MMA? Are you Insinuating that Floyd could cross over and beat Mcgregor In the octagon or are you saying that no MMA fighter could cross over and beat Floyd?

Floyd was willing to come forward against a 170 pound Mcgregor, but not a 148-150 midget In Pacquiao. I guess In reality that shows the respect Floyd had for Pacquiao.

McGregor's the biggest name and the best fighter in MMA and Floyd embarrassed and beat him up. There's nobody in the UFC who could crossover and do any better than McGregor and nobody who would have the balls to do it either. Floyd's not an MMA fighter obviously but he's way more talented and smart than anyone in either sport. If we're just talking stand-up he beats everyone in boxing and the UFC.

bruh, in his last fight, Pacquiao was incredibly disrespected by a boxer nobody knew and his nickname is "The hornet".

Just shush.
