floyd did well for a 40years old, conor did well for a novice but he needs to work on his conditioning

At 29, either you have it or you don't.

Conor's conditioning will forever be a problem for him.

Its simple, you need to be active to sharpen up after a bout of long inactivity, this is why andre ward came back to fight 2 nobodies, that's two camps spent on sharpening up. Thinking about it more, you do forget or neglect some things after an absence, which you should eventually be reminded of after some time drilling/practicing/sharpening.

Fighters are rusty after time off, this has been seen numerous times despite a training camp, but it does depend on the fighter the degree.

I've always found that laughable and I doubt "tune up" fights really help anyone. It's mostly just a way to take easy opponents and make easy money. Any ring rust that exists should technically be shaved off by the time you leave training camp. Many athletes don't even believe in ring rust.

Then they wouldnt show up looking like sht. I can understand not believing in it if you never really left it, but a year or two will leave rust.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

What was your running for then? Why didn't you plant your foot in the center of the ring like you said you was going to do?

Floyd was old and Conor just didn't have the conditioning that's his achilles heel

[bronx7]

Still trying to figure out how mcgregor was gassed by 6 he didn't come out like maidana 1 throwing bombs non stop he carefully boxed mixed up arm punches from left and right stances

[bronx7]

He boxed better than I thought but mythical power is comical Cotto , maidana etc a giant list of ww not LHW like him hit way harder than him a boxer would decapitate UFC guys if he touches them and they go flying so overrated left power wow

People need to stop harping on the 2 year layoff like it means anything. Someone with 20 years of boxing knowledge and experience doesn't just forget how to do something just because they haven't fought in two years. It's not even the first long layoff Floyd has come back from before.

Even the 40 year-old thing is way over exaggerated.

So you think Floyd is still prime, and layoffs and being 40 has no bearing on his fighting ability?

[JoeKidd]

Conor, Floyd was sparring. All the UFC fans and all the casuals got duped.
