    Original thread above. BTW I originally thought this fight was a farce, amazed Connor was 3-1 under dog, and Mayweather was 4-1 FAV, I was disapointed Connor even took on such a ridiculous challenge, even with the money involved....How wrong i was...

    The boxing community are in denial. I did the original thread to see the hilarious excuses why a 0 and 0 fighter, who didnt even have boxing trainers, let alone boxing sparring, was able to school, outland and hurt Mayweather(Byrd saved Mayweather in round 9).

    Im a big fan of MMA and boxing. Slight edge to boxing on what i am a bigger fan off. And originally thought this fight was a joke. But boxing lost despite the win, and boxing fans are rallying around to defend the indefensible in over hysterical ways which is a clear sign of Denial of what just happened. What 40 year old Randy couture did to James Toney is what i expected the self prclaimed "best ever" to do to Connor. Play with him, bust him up, knock him down multiple times and brutally KO Connor. I expected Connor to hit air ALL night whilst the the ELITE boxer landed everything. I was amazed that Connor would even get through 6 rounds.

    Not just my score card, many experts from Showtime, HBO BBC five live and Espn had Connor winning going into his gassed out round.

    Lets debunk each of the claims from so called Boxing fans over Mayweather Horrific display.

    1) Urban Myth one-Mayweather walked him down....Did he Bollox. Mayweather was lost in there. Connor was out jabbing, out slicking Mayweather. Mayweather lost the first 4 rounds because Connor was changing the angles landing. Mayweather tried to throw in round one, missed and got caught with an upper cut. He turned his back 13 times, illegally imo. Dirrell did the same when fighting. Mayweather looked terrible and was being out boxed, he resorted to hoping Connors poor cardio would kick in..Floyd said the best chin is the chin that does not get hit, well he was getting hit alot!!!

    Urban Myth 2"He 40 years old and 2 years inactive". Rubbish excuse for why he got outboxed. Vlsdimir at 41 fought an even yuonger Prime ELITE heavy weight boxer and took him to hell and back. Vlad was very inactive, and had not fought in almost 2 years. But even if you take the excuse at face value, so what. Connors been inactive in boxing ever since he entered Combat sports. Hes never fought professionally...EVER, Zip Zero. Did not even bother having boxing trainers or coaches, just stuck to MMA spars. This is like Roger Federer losing sets/Games of a Squash player who trained for 12 weeks at Tennis. It would be a disgrace.

    Urban Myth 3-Mayweather was never hurt. Get out of here, not only are Fighters like Ward;/mayweather literally not allowed to lose on points to anyone(lmao Mayweather was almost winning a shut out according to two of the judges, disgusting), they are also not allowed to get hurt. Mayweather was seriously doing the chicken dance due to a BODY shot in the 9th round. Byrd dived in and saved him. Fact. What Ward did to Kovalaev was illegal. What Connor did to Mayweather were beautiful body shots. Mayweather did the same in round 3/4, where claiming low blows when Connor was hitting great body shots.

    All i can say is thank goodness Connor has Conditioning issues which effects him in both MMA and boxing(see Nate Diaz fights) because with Zero experience he out boxed Floyd Mayweather and at worst was drawing going into the 10th and at best was going to stop Mayweather in the 9th had it not been for "low blow gate"...

    When the dust settles, Connor should be getting hall of fame status on what he achieved with Zero experience....
    Comparing McTapper's attempt at boxing to Toney's attempt at MMA is just ******, tbh.

    McTapper is a prime, reigning 2 division UFC champion and P4P No1 MMA fighter who had a huge size advantage over a 2 years retired ex boxer.

    Toney was a shot to bits, punch drunk, fat, former middleweight boxer going up against a top 10 ranked UFC heavyweight.

    Like I said, a ****** comparison.

      At least you got one thing right there .. what Ward did to Kovalev was definitely illegal .. and what McTapper did to Floyd was also illegal.

      Two wrongs don't make a right.

      Basically what you are saying here is that the difference between low blows and beautiful body shots is determined by whether you like or dislike the guy who is throwing them. And that is exactly what you are getting annoyed at Ward/Floyd fans for!

      Again .. two wrongs don't make a right.

        This the Denial of the boxing community. Fact is Randy Couture was 40 years old, got badly beaten in his next fight and is NOWHERE NEAR considered a ATG, Hall of fame yes, ATG no.

        Now i personally dont rate Floyd as a ATGof his generation, lomochenko, Wlad, and Calzaghe are ALl vastly superior to him.

        However on here, and he himself modestly claims hes the "BEST EVER". So lets take that as red.

        So the Best ever boxer, 49-0(lost multiple times but again lets take this as red), Sparred thousands of times, AMteur career, professional career etc...Got out worked, out landed, uppercutted, made to miss, rocked,Jabbed and should have been stopped in the 9th had it not been for the ref...AGAINST A 0-0 NOVIS, Barely sparred at boxing, and di not even bother with boxing trainers..

        Thank goodness for for Connor Shambolic cardio, because Mayweather SHOULD destroy Connors sole.

        As for giving up early rounds excuse...ive edited that in the main thread title, terrible excuse.

        You are all in denial, and the abuse Connor is getting for outboxing Floyd is proof...

          The way ******** odds work is the line is set then the public can make that line shift depending on they're bets.

          So many Jonestownians bet on Conor it shifted a 30-1 favorite to 5-1. If you want to blame anyone, blame the UFC tards for betting so much money on Conor --- NOT boxing, Vegas, or anything else under the sun bruv!
