    He fights in a cage with 4oz gloves and moved up 25lb in weight for a fight so i don't think he has anything to prove.

    However, he is an MMA fighter and not a boxer and Pacquiao will beat him easily.

    It 's a myth he moved up 25lb weight. Diaz fights at lightweight normally. He got less than two weeks notice so compromises had to be made in their first fight. And the 2nd fight was debatable whether Conor won. Either way Diaz head-to-head favors Nate. Nate isn't even top 5. If Conor has to fight guys his own size, he isn't anything special. He's like Donaire, a bully against smaller opponents.

    The only part of the **** that Floyd talked after the Mcgregor fight was that he didn't train as hard as he had previously. I don't believe he carried him at all considering he hadn't shown an ability to blow anybody out early in a fight for a long time.The only time he had stopped anybody in the 10 years before the Mcgregor fight was when Ortiz made the rookie mistake of not protecting himself at all times and Floyd was able to land a sucker punch .It looked like it just took him a little while to get used to and adjust to Conors style. Floyd was clearly never in trouble and would have him beaten him even easier at his peak but from what I saw he fought pretty much like he had previously in the last part of his career before opening up a bit on the tiring Mcgregor .

    Connor was way bigger than Floyd. He will be a giant compared to Pac

    Pac won't be in there to carry McGregor for the first 5 rounds like Floyd in order to fool the public into believing it was a legit fight, he'll be in there to hurt his opponent. Floyd threw a combined 56 punches in those first 5 rounds while standing directly in front of his opponent with his hands glued to his face, first time he'd ever done that. FMJ-McGregor was not a real competitive boxing match, it was an exhibition bout that was only slightly less fake than WWE.

    It's a joke of the fight, even worse than Floyd / McG because it's even more blatant of a cash in. If I were a mod I'd move it to the Lounge :deal:

    Conor was a bit better than expected (not saying much, I know) and Floyd looked like garbage. At one point TBE was turtled up rubbing his ass on Conor's schlong while Conor hit him from behind. I wish I were making this up.

    Now Floyd likely watched the fight on TV and wanted to kill himself out of embarrassment. Then he had the brainwave to claim that he "carried" Conor :lol: GTFOH Floyd, you sucked and you probably ought to off yourself before your money runs out and you can't buy friends anymore.

    Conor simply didn't let Floyd get any work in for fear of being KO'd. Floyd sucked.

    Talks at advanced stage between both camps.

    Sad state of affairs but there goes Mannys credibilty
