Mayweather vs. McGregor

You know why I'm intrigued by this fight? Because I know Conor is no normal MMA guy. He is the best boxer ive ever seen in that sport, and he is the one of only maybe 3 ppl ever in the UFC who has the skills to even get this opportunity. I think Cody Garbrandt is the best because of his past boxing experience, but Conor right behind him. I do not think he will win, but I think he can. And if you don't, I'm willing to bet you've never been in a fight, and you don't understand the margin for error is very slim and that anyone can lose in a fight with this highly skilled of fighters. Conor is naturally a boxer who chose MMA. He has no ground game. Strictly relies on hands and kicks, and he doesn't need to kick, but he does use his kicks to establish distance and set up his punches which is why he chose MMA and isint as good at just boxing. But make no mistake about it. He can box. And if you don't think that, you probably have only watched his highlights, and just don't know s**t honestly. Mayweather could toy with him for 12 rounds just like he did with Manny, doesn't change the fact Manny is a great boxer. Conor is a good boxer.

everybody was kung fu fighting

Keep your thoughts straight much?

Watch this interview with Paulei. He breaks it down to perfection. Former championship boxer, who just sparred with Conor. Was one of his biggest critics, said Conor had no chance, so Conor challenged him to spar. Listen to how much his tone changed now. This is what an educated breakdown sounds like. Yes he believes Floyd will win, but Conor has a chance.

You don't understand. In an octagon, Conor is a better boxer than Cody, imo. But in a ring I thing Cody would be. Different rules, angles, and distance. And Cody has experience in the ring which can't be ignored. Try and keep up old man

For example, I've already said this before. If Conor and Floyd were to box using ONLY hands in an octagon barefoot. No shoes. Cage instead of ropes. Smaller gloves. Conor would KO him.

But in a ring with ropes shoes big gloves square instead of circle is a whole different science that Conor will have to adapt to. And he's doing it against the best ever

Oh, I get it now.

Mcgregor is weak for not being able to knock out Paulie. That guy is trash.

I think CM can connect. Saying otherwise is dumb.

So if you take Mayweather's shoes off he will forget all his defensive skills?

if they were to box using only hands? as opposed to...?
