    Might have been his first official boxing match, but the guy had trained boxing for thousands of hours for over a decade for MMA purposes, hes one of the best boxers in the UFC, possibly the best. Hes also a much younger man in his physical prime. Plus Floyd isnt exactly the type to go right after his opponent.

      Rigged fraud fight. Fraudweather carried the novice to give suckers some value.

          Floyd was old man. Look at his legs in that fight

          There’s a reason why he’s happily retired

          Compare the Mcgregor Floyd to the Zab Floyd. The latter was a come forward pressure fighting Floyd in the prime of his career

          Mcgregor was “fortunate” to face a diminished Floyd

              Because FMJ let him. FMJ even told you at the end of the fight, he knew CM was use to fighting 25 minutes and would gas out. So he let him beat himself. FMJ carried CM and I can't understand why folks think otherwise.

                Because Mayweather carried him and was just toying with him Had Mayweather came to fight he stops Connor in 2 or 3 rounds

                  Here ya are bud. He didn't.


                  He got walked down. Absolutely no respect shown for his offense the entire fight, absolutely no respect shown for his defense the entire fight.

                    But he didn't do well at all. Mayweather didn't even bother to train for him. Mayweather toyed with him, carried him to give fans a show. and then knocked him out. Conor never had a chance of winning and never hurt Mayweather at any time. If you think Conor did well so be it. I don't think he did well at all.
