    Manny stops the Irishman. It’s a good choice, and both guys get paid!

      Lol thats called trying to save face. He was throwing tons of punches clearly trying to get the stoppage for multiple rounds before it actually happened.

      Floyd was still considered the no1 p4p boxer in the world less than 2 years earlier. Why you trying to make it sound like he was some washed up old man?

      UFC flyweights would absolutely wreck him weight difference or not, he wouldnt get out of the first round. Can you seriously imagine him trying to fight someone like Cejudo or Demetrious Johnson? Cejudo is an olympic gold medallist wrestler for ****s sake, he'd be on his back within 20 seconds.

      In an MMA fight the boxer has literally zero defence against kicks, takedowns or the ground game, 75% of the stuff in an MMA fighters skillset is stuff boxers have never trained. In a boxing match the MMA fighter has thousands of hours of boxing training already, some of the better MMA boxers would be half decent pros if they made the switch.

      Remember when Khabib proposed a fight with Floyd where if he survived 11 rounds of boxing he'd get one round of MMA? that illustrates the point, everyone knows if you can get a guy like Floyd to fight under MMA rules for one single round hes completely ****ed. Thats why he never compromises on the rules, wont fight MMA rules, wont even fight kickboxing rules (even against the much smaller Tenshin), wont even straight up box with the only change being MMA gloves.

        Isn't it weird how some people think combat skills are transferable across different freighting disciplines.

            You nailed it. Perfect!

            I just want to be able to sell tacos, burritos and pints of Irish beer.

            I’ll make whatever the fans want!

            They deserve whatever they get!

                No fight career vs May and it's a farce and shouldn't count. It's just a money scheme.
                1 fight career vs Pac and it's Pac by murder and yet another quality win on the resume.

                The double standards are awesome !

                  - -Hey, Tenshin was a lightheavy in the ring and such a danger that JoyBoi had to import Bayliss to even up the odds.

                  And Tenshin knocked him into the turnbuckle with a counter Leffy hook that woulda KOed a hvywt.

                  Show some respect!

                    I agree he was not comfortable translating his power in boxing gloves though.
                    He was allowed to last 10 rounds. Teddy Atlas is a fcuking idiot.
