Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Dares McGregor To Accept 'Winner Takes All' Fight

[aAgger]

So many circus exhibition fights lately...

Floyd vs Conor
Floyd vs Tenshin
Floyd vs Khabib
Conor vs Tenshin
Conor vs Paulie

[RememberTUA?]

His best punch on Floyd the uppercut) hardly lifted Floyd's head, he can punch with one ounce gloves, but he showed very little punching power wearing 8ounce gloves, I've never seen Floyd so willing to take some to give some.

Guys, Connor would never Knock Paulie out. Most of Connors ko’s in the UFC came at 145lb where he was a monster. He is only 2-2 at 155 or above and could easily be 1-3. Paulie can’t hit but he is tough and can’t take a punch. Cotto, didn’t knock him out , broner didn’t knock him out , Connor wouldn’t knock him out. Paulie would dance all over him especially when Connor gasses out after 4 or 5 rds.

Paulie needs to let it go. McGregor has him on strings, he knows that when he talks about Paulie, Paulie will react.

Right now, it looks McGregor is on the scene again after recovering from the Khabib defeat and is putting himself out there before his next move.

Paulie is doing McGregor's promoting for him. He's not going to fight him (IMO at least), if he's going to fight a name boxer ever again, he knows he's taking cash in exchange for an L. So he will pick the biggest name he can within reason. I think he could make a bigger money fight than Paulie.

Yeah that’s right, I’m very new to boxing, just 20 years as a boxer and 15 years as a coach up to national level, no idea whatsoever. Quit with that BS for starters.

Macgregor hits hard, it’s ridiculous to suggest that because he’s changed gloves to 8oz all of sudden he has no power, everyone who fights him aside from Khabib admits he does at least have power (even Mayweather said it) and he is very balanced so he throws from awkward angles.

His left hook is very good, his right hook is good, his straight punches are pretty good, but the thing that less technical observers get ****** in by is that his jab is lousy and arm-y. That’s because he’s spent years in a sport where the jab doesn’t have to lead the attack, because you have 8 other options to open the attack with and you don’t want to be getting too long with that (as you would in boxing) because then you are more open to take down.

As I said Paulie is technically better, if he was prime right now he’d win, but if it’s scheduled for next year I don’t think he’s going to be sharp enough.

Besides the thing we are all neglecting is that it’d probably be an ugly fight anyway.

Lol I never said anything about the oz of gloves making Mcgregor a weaker puncher it has already been proven that the difference in MMA gloves and boxing gloves is minimal when it comes to punching power as they are mostly meant to protect a fighters hands you would think since you were a 20 year vet in boxing and a national coach for 15 years or so you say that you would know that by the way if you had 20 years as a boxer what's your boxrec name so I can check your skills out. I've never seen Conor throw a left hook I've seen him throw a left cross but not a hook considering hes a southpaw and where is his right hook? pull up a video for me where he hurts someone with a right hook I never seen it and he doesn't have phenomenal power in MMA either he has good power but not special power with the exception of Jose Aldo who has Conor knocked out cold? Anything can happen in boxing but its highly unlikely that Mcgregor would knock out any boxer let alone a former 2 division world champion.

LOL you got me bro I just wanna see Paulie get beat up....
154? Paulie still the much smaller guy, would love to see Conor stick to MMA lots of fun fights to be made

Would have to be at 154 Conor cant make 147 hes too big at this point. Conor doesnt really have many options in MMA hes beat almost everyone except Khabib the only money fight would be a rematch with Holloway or a pointless rematch with Poirer

[Douché Williams]

Give it a rest Paulie.

[Fanofreason]

Anyone saying conor wins need a muted.

Paulie would stop him late.
