Conor McGregor granted boxing licence in the US

On the look out for a 'high level opponent'

What does he weigh? I know the weights are different in UFC

 

He fights at lightweight currently which is 155 lbs. He's a southpaw counterpuncher with solid power in his left hand. Primarily a striker, but his hand skills aren't up to top level pro boxing standards. If I'm not mistaken he has already had a few boxing matches in his lifetime.

 

kell brook fhooks him up

 

If he's looking for a big name, canelo makes sense, seeing as he's already fighting at caneloweight

 

Lol, yeah. That would kind of be funny to watch. Either way I'd laugh.

 

Surley it's a boxing discussion considering he is looking to have a boxing match!

 

This is just a publicity stunt and probably driven by Dana White and UFC. I've read stories about McGregor looking very crude and unskilled when he's sparred with pure boxers and he would maybe take care of some journeymen, but that's about it.

 

Saw a rumour on twitter hes fighting Malignaggi, not sure of its veracity though. If he wants to be embarrassed and get his ears boxed off, then let him

 

I'm sure that is just a lie/joke. Conor is under contract by the UFC currently so unless he wants to get sued for competing then it is not happening. It is unlikely that his contract allows him to take part in a boxing match.

 

Didn't he turn to MMA because he failed as a boxer?

 

I heard the same story, but never looked too deeply into it.

 

I remember some video, and I might be wrong on this so take it with a pinch of salt, I definitely won't find a source, it was just in some random vid. But apparently he once went to some boxing gym and pretty much everyone used to boxed his ears off there.
