    People have forget what happened in Tokyo over 20years ago.

    Conor could be the "chosen one"
    Floyd has all the pressure in the world.
    everyone in boxing has put more load on Floyd tiny shoulders. Conor has lost before. Now they do it in boxing ring. Conor has nothing to lose and is crazy confident,that he will shock the world and take over in boxing.


    Floyd has used to pressure and spotlight. Also enjoys it. But this Mcgregor true circus show is something never seen before. It's absolutely insane and huge.

    I like Floyd.but i also like to see when the "king" changes in shocking fashion. Nobody believes anymore Floyd can lose. Call fighting when you are over 40 as joke,it's shocking from the whole boxing community. I like boxing and not want it to die. But that will happen if Floyd loses. It's a real possibility.

    Floyd has done this 21years in sport of boxing. Is middle aged man. This is a true test for Floyd. And very risky one.

    i actually believe Floyd only think $$$ first time in his career. Forget to think about the risk factor.









    and this forum would crash. Also many posters would go absolutely bananas.

    just imagine the Floyd haters.

    Thumbs up Sir! I thought the same thing, is McGregor so egotistical that he is going to give up his biggest advantage, the advantage of stealth? But I guess he felt he couldn't let the Malignaggi controversy go unresponded.

    Anyway, when they finally release the video my gut is that we will see it was quite competititve.

    We will see something knew? You act like we've never seen Connor fight with his hands.. We will see something knew.. Floyd KO'ing someone for once.. You got that part right

    Paulie didn't even throw a punch! (one or to slaps in the clinch don't count)

    Anyway, the take away for me is that McCracker will eat Mayweather's jab and straight right all night long.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes Floyd by TKO or even KO is high possibility also. I have said always Conor has a chance in beginning. This
    match probably won't last 6rounds.

    I have speaken a lot about Conor chances. But i'm not still blind. I know how ****ing good Floyd is.

    I accept both warriors greatness.


    Conor has all the physical advantages at this point,and some others.

    There is no need to speak about Floyd abilities in boxing.

    The only advantage Connor has against Floyd is height (which means nothing) And reach (which will mean nothing because he doesn't know how to use it). Literally no advantages

    You assume he doesn't know how to use it. McG certainly has fast heavy hands and he has 11 fewer years on the clock. McG is partly counting on Floyd being a shot rust filled fighter.

    i don't think anyone has pointed out how gigantic conors head is. floyd is going to have a huge target and conor has little to no head movement. floyd has a little peanut head and great head movement, conor will have trouble finding his target. floyd might get a tko victory from a combination of conor getting cut up and gassing out.

    He also leaves his chin hanging in the air, something which Van Heerden also picked up on.

    The man has no chance. If i was a betting man I'd bet on a mayweather ko win inside 6 rounds.

    Another thing about Conor is as cocky as he is pre-fight, he's pretty humble in defeat. When he lost to Diaz, he didn't dodge any questions or make excuses.

    edit: they censor cocky on this website? cocky)?

    Anyone who has sparred 'newbies' in their boxing gym know that they can be initially dangerous because they aren't doing things right and are therefore unpredictable. It takes a little bit of time to suss them out before you can control them.

    Conor i think has this type of 1 to 2 round initial surprise element to take advantage. Then Floyd will zone in and have his number

    Conor's head is of average size. It only looks massive by comparison.

    Why it's hard to like? Dude was 5yrs ago taking unemployment checks. Now fighting for what.100millions or something? I mean the dude speaks lot of ****. But he tends to back it up. Showing that you can be succesfull by yourself. Like Floyd says hard work and dedication. That's true when you dedicate to that. Usually success comes at somepoint.

    Conor is easy to be liked. Also every fight is action packed. Entertaining media if you are up to that.

    i like Floyd too. Amazing career,made money like no one. Definetly TBE in PRIZEFIGHTING. Nowadays everything is treated like business. So Floyd is TBE in BOXING.

    (of course if you think boxing is more than prizefighting and business. Then Floyd is nowhere near TBE status)


    But yes.for me,it's easy to like both Conor and Floyd.

    And this newbie is much younger and bigger. Also is trained in fighting.

    Great fight IQ,student of the game,especially Floyd. This "newbie" has probably very weird style on purpose too.


    If i have a fight against Floyd. I would swarm him and use all my energy to stop him fast or be stopped fast. 49 have tried and only couple of them swarmed him. But not from the begininng like Conor will.

    this is 12round fight. But you can force OLD Floyd to fight extremwly fast and brutal way.


    Conor don't pace himself go 12rounds like Floyd. Conor doesn't need to.


    Floyd has also started to understand this. Floyd too is preparing for short and violent battle.


    so many people are blind about this fight. I don't predict Conor will win.
    But **** These boxing "experts" all around the world. They all ****ing clueless about tactics in this match.

    you can see Conor in MMA. Puts up fast pace and uses power shots and gasses fast.

    Floyd can't fight with slow 12 round boxing pace.

    Conor will literally run after Floyd or jump to him,to get fist on his face or body. Extremely risky tactic Conor uses. But is Extremely lethal if you are good in it.

    why you have to be a marathon runner?if you can be like Usain Bolt? Destroy the marathon guy completely in the begining

    totally different sports..but still not so far from truth
