Who hits harder; McGregor or Robert Guerrero?

Conor is the biggest hitter in combats sports as of now. I see him KOIng Floyd stiff, no longer than round four

There's very little difference between 4oz and 10oz gloves.
The technique is what makes the difference, not the gloves.

There is a big difference between twice as much padding and half as much padding and the damage that can be done. Punchers would love nothing more than to be able to wear half the padding in their gloves. If Floyd was allowed to wear 4oz gloves, he would have many more KO's.

It's idiotic to even try and claim McGregor isn't a big puncher in his sport. He's knocked people senseless in nearly every fight he had in the UFC. Giving people 4oz gloves, boxers or whoever, doesn't transform them into superman punchers. There seems to be a weird inferiority complex with boxing fans sometimes. it's actually cringe.

Whether he can punch with boxers, that remains to be seen but all evidence so far points to it.

He can punch in UFC for sure.

But so can that Mike Perry guy but then he had a boxing match with a journeyman and seemed to be featherfisfed

Well all research points to the opposite. But you're right, cutting 8oz to 4oz gloves turns Floyd into a puncher

Haven't seen his boxing match, but he's not McGregor.

Talking about if McGregor can punch is kinda stupid. He knocks people dead- you can't do that if you can't punch - 4oz or 8oz.

But that doesn't mean he can hang in a boxing ring, because it's a different sport. And also, more importantly, his opposition in the UFC, boxing wise, is the level of journeymen in pure boxing terms.

Even in sparring the difference between 16oz gloves and 14 oz gloves is very noticeable.

I don't think so.

If you have technique, properly wrapped hands in a boxing glove 8 or 10oz, there's almost no padding. The difference in pure force is absolutely minimal.

Conor hits harder than anyone.

I've never seen him knock anyone out cold. What fights did that happen.

Punching in UFC and boxing is completely different I'd say there's many UFC fighters who can do damage in UFC but not boxing.

Mike Perry is just one example. He was 10-1 10 ko's in UFC.

In a Boxing match his punches seemed to have no pop.

So did Malignaggi, it doesn't mean he's a bigger puncher.

Pauli would KO guys who aren't specifically trained to defend punches. MMA fighters aren't used to being punched with such accuracy, couple with the lack of anticipation, it would be trouble.
