    Conor would destroy Clarissa. He's way too strong. Think about this, who is the better boxer Paulie or Eggington? Paulie is WAY more skilled, but Egginton was way stronger. Now McGregor is 10000x stronger than Shields. If they had equal chins, and power obviously Clarissa would win.

    Connor is not slow as molasses. He doesn't have to beat Floyd he just has to make it to the distance. The advantages for McGregor: Taller, stronger, left handed, considerably younger and longer reach. Foot work is different for boxing and MMA( watch Dillishaw, Edgar, Demetrious Johnson, it wouldn't be easy to figure out. I think that Floyd will win by a unanimous decision. McGregor would be better off trying to keep it a game of tag or like a karate point match.

    Men are superior to women in physical endeavors you charlatan. Jesus Christ, what happens when unemployment and living with your parents gets to your head.

    Look at this guy cowardly attacking me while I was away. Women who train something are usually better at that than men who don't train it, regardless of natural physical advantages.

    Eggington is a boxer, Conor isn't. Maybe he'd beat Claressa but Christina Hammer would be able to keep him away with her jab. I'd like to see those fights get made just to show the world how low level MMA "boxing" is. Christina Hammer spars with male pros better than Conor all the time, she's bigger and has reach on him.

    LMAO please stop. He is a slow as molasses counter puncher who relies on precision. The reason why footwork is different in boxing in MMA is because MMA footwork doesn't work for boxing. Do you honestly think that in 100+ years of existence there is something that a novice can come up with that would instantly work, yet somehow no one before has been able to find it?

    Obviously... Look at what happened to Lucia Rijker when she faced an unknown Thai clubfighter, who was handpicked to make her look good. McGregor or any of top male MMA fighter with good hands would knock Shields out. That said she's obviously more schooled in her sport, and if not for the gender difference would definitely win.

    MMA fighters also modify their footwork and striking style due to the threat of wrestling, BJJ and kicks.
