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

[Chrismart]

I can't say too much about his fighting chances, as i haven't watched the fight from last weekend, so i don't know how he looked etc, just what i've read.
But i'd imagine he'd lose to everyone he did face. Regular 154's would KO him, as would 147's. He's an MMA fighter at the end of the day.

The Paulie fight would generate interest after the way they have beefed. And i think McGregor would weigh up the money offers.

But i hope he goes straight back MMA. He's a great MMA fighter, the UFC needs him, and there's real good fights to be made for him there.

Unless it's as a sentient punching bag, he has absolutely no future in boxing.

[Scopedog]

I don't think it's worth it for him to stay in boxing honestly. He can either fight at a high level in the UFC or fight at a mid-to-low level in boxing, and he'll make more money from the former.

[Metho_4u]

No, he does not.

I think even old shot Paulie beats him. the guy doesn't have the gas tank or legs to go 6-8 hard rounds let alone 12.

As long as Paulie weathers the first 4-5 rounds I can't see him losing to a McGregor that will fade badly.

But his weight advantage will make it interesting. I hope the guy keeps boxing. He could be in some fun fights even though he loses all of them.

If the future involves him winning a fight, NO!
If the future is about a money grab, he only got one or two of those left in him.

If this rag is it such an elementary level that it needs to ask this question you're in a real state of hurt

Mayweather is 40 and was coming off a two year retirement and he still beat McGregor. Any other prime 47, 54 pounder would dispatch McGregor with ease. The fight was nothing more than a money grab, and Paulie could very well be next. He has no power, was worse off then Mayweather when he retired, so really that's a winnable fight for McGregor. Aside from that I don't see McGregor fighting for chump change and his name would certainly require a big promotion.

[IronDanHamza]

He has in the sense he can fight again and make money but competitively no he has no future.

Any top guy smokes him.

[HandsofIron]

No, quit asking.
