    Can you explain why McGregor did better than PAc? Pac might´ve won one round less. But he didnt get stopped or looked done after the third round, lol

    As long as Conor sticks to fake fights and pre arranged fixes he can probably win against some ranked boxers, champions even.
    The money is on his side so there's no limit to what they can cook up if they choose to do put him in more boxing events.

    Pac lost by 4 points on two of the cards and 8 on the third.

    McGregor was down by 4, 7, and 8 points after only 9 rounds and got stopped in the 10th.

    It's not even close. People who are saying that McGregor did better than Pacquiao are just jealous Pac haters.

    I must have seen a different fight..

    Only thing Conor did good was his awkward movement. His shots looked lazy and weak, his defence was wide open and he seemed to gas out due to the body shots mayweather threw and whatever reason.

    The only boxers he could beat are boxers with his sort of record, those just starting out as well..

    I'm not sure if he even has the pop to shatter that fragile jaw. He might beat Wilder though..

    There's probably some 60 year old former champion living on the streets or something, sleeping on a park bench and drinking high strength cider.
    If we're talking genuine fights Conor can win against "NAME" fighters, it's those kind of guys you need to be looking for.

    I don't think he beats Paulie or Khan.

    And I don't think either of them are gonna give him 2 or 3 free rounds like Mayweather did. Khan probably wins every round, McGregor has a punchers chance, but he clearly doesn't have the power of a Canelo, I think we can all agree on that, and I doubt he has the power of a Garcia or a Prescott either. I highly doubt that.

    Maybe a bit more of a question mark with Paulie and his more advanced age, but I'd still put my money on Paulie properly prepared.

    He may beat high level journeymen like Soto Karass or Herrera in 8-rounders, but any top-10 guy is out of the question.

    No way he beats paulie or Khan. His power doesn't translate

    Maywesther was not even bothering to take it seriously he was just plodding forward smiling .

    He carried him for entertainment .

    Someone his own weight like Alvarez would take him out in a minute or less .

    Connor at this point would no way win british title at 154

    I wouldn't favour him over many top welters.

    He looked an absolute novice in there. Yeah he had success but mainly because Floyd is 40 coming off a lay off and basically took a few rounds to have a look at Conor due to his awkwardness. Mayweather always looked comfortable even early, he was smiling, winking at the commentators etc. Floyd probably had tougher sparring in preparation for this fight.

    McGregor is a good athlete, looked huge at the weight compared to Mayweather. But he keeps his chin in the air, throws arm punches, can't throw a hook and looked gassed after 4 rounds.

    No way he gets out the first with someone domestic like Liam Williams .
