    Watching "The Mountain" sparring with Mc Gregor one can easily learn how a small fighter like Connor has no chances to win in a real fight against a colossus like Bjornsson even if McGregor is a pro MMA fighter and a boxer.

    Has instead a fighter like Fury a chance to win in your opinion or is The Mountain too big and heavy even for the Gipsy King?

    This lame video proves nothing.It was for fun and far away from a real fight.
    Fury ? I think McGregor never was a good heavyweight fighter but Fury is. Who's the hell cares Mc Gregor for
    an example ? Cormier who has an average human height would destroy this nobody Björnsson.

    Bjornsson lifts 1,104 lbs. Imagine how far he can hurl even a man of 200 lbs.

    The mountain moves well for a man his size.

    Het gets knocked out by fury or any decent heavy his size. A quick one two will have him dazed and confused, follow it up with an uppercut and he wakes up staring at the ceiling.

    Tbf I see the opposite.

    McGregor can dance round all night, Mountain won't have the stamina to chase him.

    He has to end it soon or he'll get knocked out.

    In a boxing match Fury sparks him out, size and strength matters little if you've never had to take a punch before.

    In a street fight, Thor has a chance as he's so strong he'd only need to grab one limb and he could do serious damage. These guys can bend metal with bare hands, bone won't hold up against the force they can generate. But let's be honest he probably gets sparked out even before he can grab Fury.

    Correct. In the lead up to the first Fury/Wilder fight "The Mountain" was asked how he'd do against either. In short his response was "zero chance". He is not a fighter but he is as strong as they come and that's it. Now someone as small as Mcgregor is going to have a difficult time dealing with someone that big and powerful. I don't think it ends well.

    In a fight to the death, he kills Fury. He is insanely strong. He would slam Fury against the ground and it'd be over. But at least Fury is big himself, he might make slamming him difficult.

    Bob Sapp is an enormous guy and a terrible MMA fighter. However, when he was at least trying at the beginning of his career, his opponents were lucky that the fight was on a canvas. If it wasn't, he would have killed some of them.

    In boxing though, the mountain loses to Fury of course.

    And yeah, Fury would spark the mountain easy peezy.

    A man who went to 10 rounds with Mayweather necessarily has a boxing technique.

    The Mountain is just a strong ****** with bells palsy.

    Most low tier heavyweight boxers would wreck him.
