    Before the Mayweather v Conor bout Virgil Hunter who trained Ward former light heavy champ in boxing stated that Conor pushes his punches instead of snapping them and most other MMA punching is weak in the same way! Conor couldn`t keep Floyd off because he had no power with boxing gloves on, when I see MMA knockouts they don`t look clean and the punches do look pushed, do you agree? Hunter also said Conor`s waist was like a models and was too thin to take body shots, this proved true, does anyone feel Conor was overrated before being exposed by Floyd?
