Chael Sonnen:If McGregor can get out of 1st rd vs Floyd boxing is not a real sport

[jas]

Chael actually defends boxing though, he means Floyd should knock Conor out since Floyd is considered the best ever in his sport.

for the past few weeks he said that people actually giving Conor a chance don't respect boxing. He also said it has to be a statement, like how Randy Couture choked out James Toney in MMa within 30 seconds.

He also gave an example in his previous podcasts of olympic wrestlers, if you put a guy who only learns 3 months of wrestling in with a guy who has wrestled top level all his life he expects the top level wrestler to win fairly easy and get a pin.

Floyd is one of best ever but he's past prime , not a big 154 pounder, has hand issues , isn't knockout artist

Let's see how long Connor lasts vs bigger more aggressive fighters like canelo , GGG , Spence or charlo

Hmm, at the highest level in boxing, blasting someone in the first round is rare since it's more of a feel-out round. But McGregor is literally 0-0. Floyd needs to KO Conor in less than 3 or it'll look bad for boxing, possibly hurt future boxing PPV events.

[SN!PER]

Floyd will go easy on him, taunt him a bit to entertain the crowd.

Once Conor is huffing and puffing, Floyd will close the show.

MMA must be a fake sport as well since a 15 years past it Ray Mercer cold-clocked a younger Tim Sylvia a former MMA champ.

Floyds lack of punching power and brittle hands will ensure the fight lasts longer than a round

This isn't MMA with 4oz gloves. And a punch is a punch, if McGregor doesn't go down in the first round from MMA punchers with 4oz gloves, what makes this clown think that all of a sudden a boxer with 10oz gloves will be able to? Again, a punch is punch, if McGregor can take a punch in MMA then he can take a punch in boxing.

Any of those fighters listed knock him out in 2 minutes or less.

I disagree because MMA fighters can't punch like Boxers.

But I agree Floyd won't stop him in a round because that's Floyd and a 40 year old Floyd.

But I expect him to rock, wobble, hurt or drop him in yhe first round.

Utter tripe, boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. Knockouts are just a bonus, this makes no sense whatsoever. Floyd embarrassing McGregor for 12 rounds will be much harder to take for a man of his ego.
