    Did anyone actually enjoy that ?

    Better then Mayweather v Pacquiao / Haye v Vladimir Klitschko.

    But that is not saying much.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    He landed 1 punch of significance, the uppercut in the 1st

    Even that barely registered on Floyd.

    I can't believe people aren't seeing what a farce it was.

    Going into Round 6 Conor had outlanded Floyd 51-40 in punches according to Compubox.

    Floyd hasn't boxed in over 2 years, comparing Conors stats with Floyd's other fights is fine but hardly comparable. Floyd wasnt fighting a boxer tonight and worked his gameplan for that and executed it without much fuss.

    Yeah he really looked stupid walking away with 100m alright :rolleyes:

    He has just got more money from one single fight than 99.99% of boxers will make in their life time. But yeah, what a fool.

    It's amazing that every criticism of McGregor and people immediately throw out the "he's made loads of money you can't criticise him now defence"

    Are people not allowed to criticise him as a sportsperson?

    After all his trash taking he should be embarrassed not being able to back it up.That would certainly be the case for any other sportsperson who engages in trash talking.

    You know McGregor has done something right when even boxing fans are bitter in this victory.

    What has he done right? The whole fight was a shambles. He is on the way to being the greatest MMA fighter perhaps of all time, this was just a sideshow to top up his bank balance.

    Mayweather didn't try in the early rounds, you were imagining it.

    Floyd threw lots of hard shots in the early rounds but Conor avoided them easily.

    Lot of people saying now that Floyd didn't try early on and that's absolute nonsense.

    I'd course he was trying. He was just letting McGregor tíre himself out. He then increased the intensity of his punches. It was pretty easy for him tbh.

    I wonder would Conor take the same money to jump in with Canelo now that he's a pro boxer that can go 10 with the GOAT?

    No way. Conor will run a mile from boxing now I'd say. A relatively weak but highly skilled 40 year old schooled him. A young fresh powerful boxer would knock conor out no problem.

    Conor landed 111 punches and still never made a mark on Floyd. His usual gambit of fighting lads much smaller than himself doesn't seem to translate into the ring.

    I'd say a fight with Malignaggi is a possibility.

    He's not a boxer and it clearly showed. Completely out of his depth.

    Absolutely. In fact this experience in fighting a top 10 (5?) All time boxer and lasting 10 rounds imo will see him unbeatable at his weight class.
    Nate Diaz 3, here we go!!!!

    PS: I'm salty that it didn't go the distance. Fecking called it from the get go only to be smited by that dastardly Mayweather

    PPS: Did walshb turn face in the middle of the fight??? :pac:

    It' ridiculous that McGregor just went 10 rounds with Mayweather and people here can't even give him an ounce of credit.

    I don't think he should ever step in a boxing ring again, conor is a great fighter but he is at too much of a disadvantage in these boxing matches.

    Plus the floyd match was special, I don't think it would get the same kind of attention if he was to fight Canelo etc.

    Please God no.

    MMA only. I just can't listen to Malignaggi anymore or the boxing forum guys.

    It was fun to dream but there was delusion in those dreams too. Proud of Conor 100% but let's do Woodley for welterweight strap :pac: He's unbooked, Conor looked drained at 153lbs, I don't trust Khabib and Lee-Ferguson tied up.
