    I'm talking about a reining boxing champion fighting his counterpart in the UFC.

    There are 18 MMA fighters who have been KO'd/TKO'd by Conor Mcfeatherfists ffs:qmeparto:. These guys must be absolute scrubs with horrendous glass jaws.

    No special conditions either. A full on fight in the octagon. Anthony Joshua wants to restrict the submissions aspect of fighting. That says it all, lol. Did you catch the brutal leg kicks on display from Jeremy Stephens against Melendez last night? Or how about the first round arm triangle submission win by Dos Anjos?

    I've never seen Mayweather saved by the ref from a body punch before Conor came along. Mayweather folded over and waited for his savior to intervene. Had it happened in a mma fight, it would of been lights out.

    It was a blatant low blow and Mayweather wasn't really hurt, he was just making sure that it came to the attention of the ref. As soon as the ref warned McPillowfists, Mayweather went straight back to walking down and beating him up. He wouldn't have done that if he was genuinely hurt.

    Mayweather wasn't hurt, lost the first four rounds intentionally etc, boxing fanatics are disingenuous. Why can't you give credit when it's due? The only reason Mayweather was able to win is because he had more gas in the tank.

    They'd take him down and he'd be submitted.

    They wear 4oz gloves. It's almost as much to protect your hands as it is to protect the person getting hit.

    Also the footwork needed in MMA is drastically different than that of boxing. Most of the time in MMA you can't set yourself like you do in boxing as you need to protect against kicks and takedowns.

    It's a whole different world in MMA since in boxing you don't need to protect from anything but fists (unless you are fighting Bradley or Chaves).

    :boxing1Anthony Joshua would do about as well as Trevor Berbick did in MMA. Berbick jumped out of the ring to get away from leg kicks.
