Why did puss1 Floyd forbid McGregor from using punchers gloves?

[Boxing Goat]

I don't recall mentioning MMA.

But in Boxing we do know that he can't punch, AT ALL.

He had Floyd's respect in there so I surely don't think that means he has no power. Respectfully.

And I suggest you watch the very end of the Netflix documentary 'Notorious' and see the very end of the sparring session between Conor and Paulie and then you can tell me if their power is equal. Keep in mind, that's an MMA fighter without a single pro boxing match at that time with sparring gloves on. With the right amount of experience, Conor could easily be a world class boxer with world class power.

Floyd is a pusssssy while Conor got his face kicked in and tapped out to C grade fighter? OK fck logic

Mayweather walked him down, backed him up, the entire fight because he didn't respect McGregor or his power. The alternative universe that you live in shows how delusional and ****** you are.

MMA fighters can punch a heavy bag hard like some street thugs out there or boxers, but when it comes to an actual person who has a defence or movement, they have zero technique to make it meaningful.

Conor's boxing is 10 times many MMA fighters. He outboxed Nate who supposedly is a good boxer.

Floyd's level of boxing is 1000 times better than Conor. Conor is lucky that Floyd had 2 years off at age 40 and also only boxed above 147 twice before that...

Any top 154 lb fighter would KO Conor in 3 rounds. He has no defence at all

Floyd had no respect for his power. The last time I saw Floyd have that little regard for a fighters power was a past it Sharmba Mitchell.

I have seen the clips from that sparring session and he cannot punch. MMA is a another story it's a different sport. But boxing? No power. At all. You can see it clear as day in the Mayweather fight that he has next to nothing on his punches.

Complete nonsense. I like Conor but he would basically be a decent amateur at the most. I once saw an interview with a news reporter where they said they spoke to people who came up with Conor in the boxing gyms in Dublin and he was a mediocre boxer at best, which is why he made the switch to MMA.

Floyd at 40 years, two years retired, physically smaller, and fighting more wrecklessly than he ever has before still walked Conor down and stopped him. You can't go off some edited clips of a sparring match against an over the hill Paulie Malignaggi to base your opinion that Conor could be a top level boxer.

The guy doesn't even know how to hit a speed bag

Remember his media workout? It was so painfully bad that people legitimately thought he was doing it on purpose to try and throw Floyd off.

His punching is embarrassing. From every single standpoint his boxing is embarrassingly bad.

I just wish he fought someone his size or in their prime like Canelo or GGG. Or even someone like Charlo or Kell Brook. He's getting mollywhopped in a round or two.

Keep telling yourself that. It's typical Floyd loving ignorance. It he didn't respect his power, he would have gone out, stood right there and threw punches until he knocked him out. End of story. Instead he waited until the tenth fkn round when he knew he wouldn't be hurt by a counter shot, you absolute twit.

[Cheek busting]

Honestly, Conor could've fought bear knuckles and still got his ass beat.

Just like floyd could fight conor bareknuckled MMA and literally have his life in another man's hands within a minute.
