    A younger Floyd is for sure faster & that may have played a difference in a earlier stoppage. And I mean that seemed to be the plan as Floyd himself said the plan was to take Conor apart over 6 or 7 rounds & cuz Conor was better than expected 3 or 4 rounds got tacted on extra. \

    I don't really disagree younger Floyd makes quicker work of Conor. I mainly got issues with people acting like Floyd is KOing guys left & right early like he's mini Tyson or something. Floyd was never that guy.
    Who said that? I don't see anyone saying that. Quote it.

    People are saying prime Floyd would stop McGregor early because McGregor is terrible and can't box. If a 40 year old Floyd just walked through him and stopped him with that little respect then what is a 29 year old Floyd going to do?

    A way faster job that's what.

      Secondly, if Mayweather at that age can take out Sharmba Mitchell in 6 rounds then I'm very sure he can take out McGregor in half that time.
      You keep ignoring what this fight actually included doe. Floyd isn't a video game character that stays at the same level & never ages. And there are different variables in play in different fights. Sharmba doesn't = Conor or vice versa. Each guy has specific problems to be solved to defeat them.

      Things to take into account that I don't believe you or some of the guys thinking like you are taking into account.

      -Floyd is 40 years old, most of the great fighters we talk about were shot at 35 or younger
      -Floyd hadn't fought in 2 years, thats a long ass time to expect someone to just hope in the ring & be their old self
      -Floyd allegedly hadn't even sparred in the last month to insure his hands were as good as possible
      -Conor is a big fooker, probably the biggest fooker Floyd has been in the ring with in a pro fight (170ish lbs)
      -Conor is an awkward guy who was doing a lot of weird sh^t, for sure Floyd got hit with more hammer punches Saturday then in the rest of his career combined + got his "back taken" more times than in his entire career combined I'd assume
      -Conor was a decade younger than Floyd
      -Conor was expected to be heavy handed so some safety first approach was to be expected
      -Floyd's approach in the ring for the last several years has been to figure guys out & give up rounds early to "solve your style" & win the last half & more of the fight wide which is exactly what he did
      -Floyd can't hit for sh^t, he's 15-0 (3) at 147lbs or more. The only guys he KO'd at 147 or above before Saturday was Sharmba (12 years ago when he was 28yrs), Hatton (10 years ago when he was 30yrs) & if you really want to count it Ortiz (6yrs ago at 34yrs). And he also, eventually, KO'd Conor which was his 4th KO in 16 fights over 12 years.

      So basically I think you guys are overestimating who 40 year old Floyd is, ignoring Floyd's strategy over the later years of his career + acting like cuz Conor had a low boxing IQ his size & awkwardness didn't put forth some potential for error on Floyd's side if he just tried to chop down Conor or whatever you guys wanted Floyd to do in a very un-Floyd-like way.

          I seriously do not understand your post.

          I am aware of all of the above and the fact that all the above is true and Floyd still walked in down, battered him and stopped him tells me that a 11 year younger version of Floyd would do the job a lot quicker.

          Yeah I know Sharmba Mitchell isn't McGregor, he's about 20 levels above McGregor even that past it version and the fact Floyd stopped him in 6 tells me it's very easy to see a scenario where he stops McGregor in half that time.

            I'm seeing a few people suggesting Floyd shoulda gotten Conor out of there quick. Floyd hadn't gotten guys out of there quick since his first & second year into his pro career when he was fast, offensive minded & punched harder vs smaller guys (130lbs). He's 20 odd years into his career now, he's drastically toned down his offense, he's not as fast & his hands are f#cked + is fighting bigger guys at 154lbs.

              I understand the logic solely because Conor is one of the worst boxers he's ever fought so perhaps he could have got him out of there earlier.

              But he's 40.

              You know this thread is about a 29 year old Floyd vs McGregor right?

                Who's arguing with that then lol? I'm arguing with the dummies who are saying Floyd KO's Conor in 3 or less like some dummies have been suggesting.

                      You are? So why is your first post that I responded to this;

                      Cuz you know Floyd hasn't KO'd anyone in 3 rounds or less since Angel Mandredy in 1998 for mfing sakes lmfao. Floyd isn't Tyson you dipsh^ts. Floyd figures you out & takes you out in the mid rounds or 11-1's, 10-2's you.
                      Who are you responding to with this post because I'm pretty sure everyone in the thread is talking about a 29 year old Floyd. You know, the thread topic.
