    My point was his record is padded with semi professional boxers not the Conor McGregor is a great. McGregor is a top level striker in MMA (no matter what you think of him personally) and would comfortably beat most of Wanheng's opponents especially over the shorter round format.

    I'm pretty sure boxing journeymen and even Muay Thai practitioners give Conor a lesson on pure boxing. Conor is not that good a striker in anything outside of MMA where the level and style of striking isn't applicable to what you'd find in boxing. If you've seen footage of the man doing it, you'd see how unrefined he is. It'd take years for him to iron out his kinks. He's journeyman level at best in boxing. I wouldn't put him much above or below the cans Wanheng crushed. By the way, Wanheng hasn't taken many of those tomato can fights in the last few years now. I think he's had 5 maximum between his fights since he won the WBC title.
    He's still the second best strawweight ever after Finito López, don't sleep on him. He's actually a very good fighter. His division just doesn't have enough money in it to make unifications worthwhile.

    Getting under Floyd's skin is one of the easiest things to do.

    Based on the reasoning of Floyd apologists, Waheng is TBE. You can't have it both ways.
