Why did McGregor outperform Pac against Mayweather?

[boliodogs]

Because Mayweather trained his hardest and tried his best to beat Pac. He did not bother to train for Conor and he carried Conor to give fans a show. He could have stopped Conor at any time. Since when is getting KOed doing better than losing on points?????

McGregor actually tried

manny was performing to not get knocked out

[CasperUK]

Because Mayweather carried him.

Imagine Mayweather blasted him in 1 round....;

McGregor's stock goes down like a lead balloon

The UFC looks like a total joke that their number one superstar gets KO'd within minutes

Showtime would be P*SSED off beyond belief that any future collaboration with the UFC has gone out of the window

Any PPV platform looks like a rip-off merchant, the fans feel cheated and it takes years to recover before customers pay that sort of money again

No-one ever wants to see Mayweather fight again because it looks like a total con-job on the fans

[*TonyMontana*]

Floyd hit manny hard in round 1 with a straight right and earned his respect

Floyd didnt want conors respect he tricked him so he would gas easier

Bit like ali and the rope a dope against foreman


Also floyd didnt even train for conor
And laughed in his face

Conor did not out perform manny at all

[abracada]

Mayweather said it himself, he would never walk Pac down like he did Conor, if Floyd fought Pacquiao the way he fought Conor he would likely get knocked silly, Floyd had no respect for Conors boxing and even walked with his hands down too.

Spot on.

And truth be told, Mayweather could have ended McGregor in any round he wanted, including the first.

Many think Pac beat floyd so I don't think Connor did as good.

Theres a lot of cope when it comes to that fight because it went far longer and was far more competitive than most boxing fans expected or hoped. I dont think Floyd "carried" him because I doubt his ego would allow it, I think he was more just being cautious earlier on while he gauged what Conor was capable of and let him punch himself out. All this "Floyd could have ended the fight whenever he wanted" stuff is funny because even after Floyd started turning up the volume it took him 5-6 rounds before he got the stoppage, and it was the typical ref waving off the fight while a guy is on the ropes boxing stoppage too rather than him actually KO'ing Conor.

Why do you believe that McGregor did a better job of frustrating Mayweather than Pacquiao did. McGregor won 3 rounds (3/9, 33%), same as Pacquiao (3/12, 25%).

Punches Landed:
McGregor: 111
Pacquiao: 81 (in 12 rounds)


No one wants to admit that McGregor had Mayweather flustered early in that fight by hitting him from all different angles. At the same time, Mayweather completely controlled the Pacquaio fight. There was never any doubt that Mayweather would lose the fight.

- -Why u no ask McG?

Too toopid?

Why McG duck Manny?

And everyone else?

I dont get why people claim Mayweather carried McGregor.

Because u don’t know boxing. Like I said, change your handle to R-L-Hand Jackoff!

Floyd used a high guard while faking crosses and jabs. Lol. That’s obvious trolling. Floyd could’ve easily stood his distance and wrecked his body to then finishing him with traditional sneak attacks. Floyd did none of that and clowned walked him down!

there was unusual punching from Mayweather in the early rounds

Floyd would miss the mark by an inch, and it wasn’t because McGregor has some sort of brilliant boxing defense

Not something you expect Punches falling short like that from The Most Accurate Ever
