    Are you really trying to use Hagler/Hearns/Leonard as examples for Floyd vs Conor lol. Floyd is the superior boxer while Conor is a come forward power puncher. Why in the **** would Floyd choose to stay in front of Conor and come forward if he didn't respect Conor's power 1 bit. Are you claiming that Conor would of outboxed Floyd from the distance if Floyd decided to actually box?

    Absurdly ignorant statement.

    I kind of get your point but I'm not sure I'm familiar with the "rapes other dudes in a dungeon" connotation of the word gentleman. :lol:

    If Floyd had humiliated Conor from the first bell and made it look like the mismatch it was there would have been a lot of very angry fans who paid a lot of money for this in the belief it was a legit fight, those same fans would likely not be taken in again by another scam.
    But Floyd gave away the first 3 rounds and let Conor get in some shots, now Floyd, Conor, Dana, Oscar, Paulie M and all the other conmen can hold more of these "events" in the future and make vast sums of money in fake, non dangerous "fights".

    'Floyd deliberately got punched in the face with some good shots for a few rounds'
    'Floyd won because he had better stamina, what do you expect, Conor was bigger and he had a reach advantage'

    - I don't know which sort of response is worse out of the two.

    Conor is NOT a come forward power puncher.

    Yes...his 50-0 record and $1,000,000,000 in earnings is proof of him being overated.

    What significant shots did he land? Floyd is 40 years old and hasn't fought in 2 years, was scared to engage vs Andre Berto for goodness sakes. Yet he stood infront of Conor, walked him down then beat him up. Floyd wasn't hurt or at trouble at all during the fight, the only time he was partially hurt was from a suspect able low blow in the beginning of the 9th.

    He is, he showed that during the Diaz and Mendez fights. If he can't time you and take you out with that left hand he comes forward throwing power punches and kicks.

    *****s, did GGG get punched in the face deliberately and was blocking punches with his face for a 'big drama show' against some bum that he fought?

    Didn't think so.

    No, I am merely saying that it isn't anything out of the ordinary for a fighter who is at a reach disadvantage to close the distance as one poster seemed to believe.
