It’s actually pretty interesting, and pits
certain belief systems against each other.

If boxing is very advanced today, compared to Carpenters era, than a nobody like McGreggor should have a decent chance, right? Since he knows about combos, tripling up the jab, the ol’ 1-2-3-2, etc. He even lasted a handful of rounds against one of the goats, and landed punches on him.

Carpentier was top level, for his time. But how would he deal with head mooment, sharp punching, the diet and nutrition and fitness of McGreggor? Sure, Connor wasn’t a full time boxer, but he did benefit from all the modern boxing knowledge and technique available. He did Mitt work, sparred with Malinaggi, and even knocked him down.

Often fighters like a Carpantier are laughed at when matched up against more modern fighters. How far does that road go? Would Modern Connor McGreggory be too much for him?

What you've said may be true one day....when Mcgregor learns head movement and sharp punching techniques. Until then , I got the Frenchie.

In the 90s didn't Brock Lesnar want a boxing match with Lennox Lewis?
