Who hits harder; McGregor or Robert Guerrero?

[IronDanHamza]

I'd say out of Floyd's last 12 fights he's the only one that's arguable.

Oscar
Hatton
Marquez
Mosley
Ortiz
Cotto
Guerrero
Canelo
Maidana x2
Pacquaio
Berto

Some people seem to be of the opinion that McGregor is a big puncher. I've seen nothing to suggest that but I suppose it's an interesting argument.

Does he hit harder than any of those? As I said only one I think is possibly arguable is Guerrero. But I would still say Ghost to be honest.

[John Locke]

Obviously Guerrero, he's been training with his hands for 20+ years. Hitting hard isn't only about who's more heavy-handed, but who's more accurate and uses correct technique and timing. McGregor KOs guys with 4oz gloves, who aren't trained to defend punches specifically, that makes a big difference.

I've spent the last week arguing this same exact thing.

Thing is, like maybe if you stand still and let him punch you, MAYBE he hits harder than some of the guys on your list.

But it's so much more than that. Putting himself into a position to even land a real good power shot is going to be hard enough.

Mayweather is going to walk Conor down and stop him. Complete and utter goddamn mismatch.

Ish makes my head hurt when I see people talking like Conor can win.

hard to tell

anyone is a hard puncher with 4 ounce gloves on

I think everyone except Ghost DEFINITELY punch harder.

But agree with you entirely.

True, true.

Good points.

It is not about power as in heavy hands and raw strength..Distance,timing both are hard to gauge on the elite level..Balance is also key and when and where you land the punch you want to land...Like in the 1st Kovalev-Ward fight..Kovalev landed the perfect punch as far as timing but he did not turn his punch correctly or land it as accurately as he should have

[Dean_Razorback]

put any of those guys to hit someone with 4 oz gloves and lets see what happens.

mcgregor will have no power with 10 oz gloves. none

[-Antonio-]

I do think he punches harder than Ghost with his left hand. I'm not sure he can throw with the same power with his right hand.

This is the best part about the debate. Everyone thinks McGregor is just going to be some huge puncher in boxing where he can't set his range up with kicks, and his opponents won't give him big openings.

Even funnier is when people say he is faster ����

[redmish]

If you put 4oz gloves on anyone in that list they would hurt you. McGregors timing is very good but that's against UFC fighters that move and attack in a very different way. He simply won't get the opportunity to time Floyd. Floyd by KO rd 7.
