Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Sends "MMA" Warning To Conor McGregor

[VatoMulatto]

Bro Floyd is byfar the best and sharpest boxer I have ever seen. If he took the time to learn how to throw knees, block them, throw elbows, block them, throw kicks, block them, and avoid takedowns, he would probably be like Anderson Silva, except way better. Imagine Floyd dedicating a few months to this, he would fight identical to prime Anderson Silva. And we see guys like Tyron Woodley, boxing and moving, Floyd probably knows in his head he can master that ****. He is so sharp instinctively. But limited by boxing rules. What will happen once we allow Floyd to BREAK those rules, and throw kicks and elbows? He will probably beat the living shiet out of some of these guys. I actually think Conor is way too big for him, even in a boxing ring, but Floyd would be way too strong for him. Floyd is a legit top level athlete, Conor is not. That fight with him and Floyd was telling in that regard.

Floyd is a great boxer and a great athlete BUT he's 40 years old and past his prime. It takes so long to learn the grappling, kicks..etc. It takes so long to put all the pieces together, so long to learn the transition from striking to grappling at a high level. If Floyd was younger it would've been a different story but to make the transition from boxing to MMA now at age 40 that's not going to happen.


I see comments from ppl in this thread who think Floyd can go to MMA in his next fight and be successful, that don't make any sense.

This is the truth. Mayweather has been thinking of going to the octagon for several years and has been training for several years just in case. Shouldn't shock anyone really.

Kevin Lee, a top UFC guy who I believe is #2 or something in his division rn, training outta Mayweather's Gym & with Dewey Cooper has never mentioned Floyd training MMA that I'm aware of.

And he's a cat with loose lips that often get him in trouble. He's sparred with Floyd many times & has even dogged Floyd a bit publicly with their sparring battles ("once I start doing well Floyd will stop the session"). If Floyd had been training MMA I'd assume Lee would be one of the cats Floyd would be f#cking with.

So this is a huge undercover operation that has been kept secret & planned for years with this specific outcome as Floyd upped his MMA game slowly or Floyd don't know sh^t about MMA. I'll go with the latter.

Yeah, anything can happen but Mercer was a huge puncher and landed that money punch after like 8-9 seconds. That's Floyd only shot, go for broke and hope to catch Conor cold and knock him out. I just don't see that happening.

Floyd is outgunned in MMA and I don't think he would take such a risk. Floyd has a big ego and I don't believe he'll take a fight where he will most likely get owned fast and easy and look like a clown in the process.

^^^^This is all I was saying. I agree with everything you’re saying. Most likely ends with Floyd tapping out

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Its not about punches the big gloves that help Floyd with his defense wont be there to block punches, kicks, elbows.

Floyd little legs will be attacked.

Or he will be easily taken down and get beaten down with punches.

[/QUOTE]

That clip proves nothing. Floyd obviously wasn’t expecting to be tackled in a boxing match. He’ll be expecting that in a mma fight

[Dle]

Floyd’s not coming back be cuz he know he’s too old of a dog to learn new tricks dangerously. But he’s making a buzz as a promoter to open up doors & money-making possibilities.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

How is floyd going to check leg kicks, body kicks or head kicks? Floyd is a boxer so conor will just chew his lead foot up immediately and floyd wont even be able to stand on it in a few minutes. Its not like conor is just going to box with floyd.

You never know, pride makes people do some foolish things

ive seen 4th degree black belt, world champ(amonst loads of 1 discipline masters) get smashed in less than a rd inside the cage. you go in a master of one discipline, you in trouble.

im not talking about point sparring champions

[Mushashi]

Leg kicks and it's over.

And I've seen MMA meat heads get the crap beat out of them in street fights by a boxer. Just cause u train to box doesn't mean your not going to kick elbow and choke someone.
