Comments Thread For: Does Conor McGregor Have A Future In Boxing?

Do you guys realize Conor would be fighting at 154?

He would probably get upset by Yoshiro Kamegai or Diego Chaves

Conor not used to boxing conditioning. His walk around weight is 180lbs+. In Conan O'Brien show of 2014 dude looked in the 170s. When he fought Nate in the 170lbs he was prepped to go but still didn't look as swole as he has been walking around today. Conor's natural form, without the juice and draining to 145 (look at his skeletol pics), he looks to be a Middleweight. Keep in mind he looked a tad drained against the Floyd weigh in. I'd say 154-160

Even ignoring all of his other flaws, he can't last twelve rounds and he hasn't the power or offensive arsenal to finish a fight early, so who is he ever going to beat?

A lot of that is fear and nerves, he can lie to everyone about how game he is but he cant lie to himself, to do 12 rounds you got to be mentally relaxed and calm, its like a racehorse that pulls against the rider he will always bomb out when they let him go, they got to be mentally calm and controlled and be able to turn it up or down when needed.

This is why Con saying he worked his ass off and I bet he did to no avail and he is shocked why he fades, someone needs to tell him you cant train nerves.

I think the severe weight-cut and his musculature are also factors in his poor cardio. Plus there is probably a genetic component too. But the easiest thing to fix would be to stop cutting so much weight, but then he wouldn't be able to pick on "midgets" as he calls them any more

There's no "probably" about it, those two would stop him for sure. Carson Jones and Antonio Margarito would stop him. The only notable fighter who he might beat is small, out-of-shape, feather-fisted Paulie, but I suspect that even that would be close

Jesus h christ. What is up with some of these writers and their man crushes. WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING RELEVENT or just go do somethinfg else. Writers like these along with commenters who echo the exact same blah blah blahs are what make this site lose a little everyday

Well, we are talking about women's boxing isn't it? or this is a troll thread?

His lack of stamina is a deal breaker, after 2 rounds he has no pop in his punches at all. He has solid skill set but its very raw, if he trained boxing at a young age im pretty sure he would be at least a B class fighter. He has good counter punching skills, good reach and ability to control range, good jab and timing. I don't see him doing boxing any time soon it will take too long for him to polish his skills properly, but the potential is there imo.

If by future you mean that others will try to cash in on beating the brakes off him then yes. Otherwise he will humiliate himself we he gets knocked out by a no name.

I used to think a man should never fight a woman, but after watching this hype job fight, His next fight should be against Clarissa Shields and they should use headgear to protect Connor. She would box his ears off.

I'd love to see MMA veteran Mayorga smoke him
