Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Terence Crawford Is A Better Wrestler Than McGregor

[Madison Boxing]

Didnt he lose a street fight to gary russell? If hes such a great boxer and wrestler how did that happen

[LacedUp]

Why then isn't Mcgregor accepting the 2 fight offer, octagon first?? He knows damn well T Crawford would disfigure his face & head with 4 oz. gloves then, he'd get severely punished in the 2nd fight if, after the first beat down, Mcgregor even showed up for 2nd fight. If you're not recognizing the differences in skill set, T Crawford P4P #1 vs pure trash Mcgregor, MMA style or box, you need to get checked!

If you think Crawford would do anything to McGregor in the octagon you are on crack. straight up.

If McGregor couldnt kick or knee I think Crawford would check his chin.

Crawford is packing a glass chin. McGregor would spark the bum beating cherry picking hype job.

Horses for courses. Both men are good in their respective sport but not the other way around

Octagon is considered close to street fight, correct? If you'd prefer to have McGregor with you in the street, good luck...I'm with T Craw all day, street or sweet science...TCraw would disfigure McGregor's face in any style of fight...4 oz. gloves...oh my that's ugly for garbage McGregor...

Some people are unbelievably ******. McGregor wouldn't even take 30 seconds to completely ruin Crawford's whole life.

Crawford is years removed from his wrestling days and that was at a lower weight class. macGregor actively trains wrestling and will make easy work of Crawford. Arum is stirring the pot thou so proceed.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Crawford's always posting stuff about his sons and their wrestling. He seems like a great dad overall. Wouldn't be surprised if he knew a little about wrestling, but would never expect him to honestly be better than McGregor, obviously...

MMA guys put time into boxing too, that don't make them good boxers.

Wrestling is as far away from Connor as Boxing is, maybe further.

Bad example since MMA is where tons of high level collegiate (and in some cases olympic) wrestlers and other grapplers end up. Conor doesnt need to be an olympic caliber greco wrestler to actually be a good wrestler IN MMA. However, they all tend to train traditionally as well as MMA as many of the coaches are actual wrestling coaches.

I’d wager good money that most high caliber well rounded mma fighters would out wrestle a high schooler of similar size. Conor would similarly beat many, many amateur boxers.

Boxing isnt foreign to McGregor at all, his foundation is boxing and he started off as an amateur boxer in a legitimate boxing gym with a legitimate trainer. Bud was a wrestler when he was like 7 years old and admits to not being involved in quite a bit of time.

Conor has beaten actual wrestlers. He’s not a world champion standalone grappler, but he’s good enough.

Mma fighters legitimately box, thai box, wrestler, do bjj, etc. many even compete in grappling competitions on the side.


You dont really believe Bud is even a better pure wrestler because he did it for a bit when he was like 6 right? Youve got to be trollling. :|

It’s a UFC fight and a Boxing fight.

A man with zero skills besides boxing isnt going to beat a word champion MmA fighter that fights 23 pounds above 147. Punchers chance at absolute best...less likely to happen than it would in the ring the other way around.
