Conor was quite impressive against Mayweather

    All success Conor had was because Floyd allowed him to have that success, he could finished Conor much earlier if he wanted.

    A lot of boxing fans dont like to admit it, but yes, an 0-0 in boxing MMA fighter going 10 rounds with a world class professional boxer who was on p4p lists less than 2 years earlier, and never once touching the canvas, is not a great look really. Whether Floyd carried him or genuinely couldnt take him out quickly, either way it was a bad look. Conor should have been on his ass and out of there before the 5th.

    The people who think Floyd should've destroyed McGregor know nothing. If Logan Paul can survive hits from Floyd, I'm pretty sure McGregor, who was the best at MMA at the time and fought in a higher weight class comparative to Floyd, would do so with even more ease.

    Well there were reports that Conor had been getting a pasting in the gym from relatively low level boxers beforehand. I expected Floyd's class to easily carry him through but Conor instead put a beating on him for 4 rounds. While on the one hand clearly Floyd had slipped a lot due to age, I think it also shows his susceptability to pressure fighters that DGAF for the incoming fire. If Conor didn't gas out I think he would have stretched Floyd out eventually. As to those people that think Floyd carried him ... :lol: ... there truly is a sucker born every minute.

    Yes and no, imo.

    Fight went exactly how I thought it would... with Conor taking the early rounds and May stopping him late. Think I even called the round.

    McG was bigger, longer, in his prime, and Mayweather was smaller, light hitting and way past it. barely even sparred for this fight due to how brittle he was.


    In reality McG was always going to win some early rounds.

    Balboa got hit a lot more than Floyd did, Conor had a lot of good boxing skills he just didn`t have a boxing style, he gassed quickly and didn`t have the boxing experience to adapt the way Floyd did.

    Floyd had no power, Conor gassed.
