It's grand, I get it - none of you respect Mixed Martial Arts but they are still 4 world titles in 2 weight classes.

It's pretty pathetic that there's nothing Conor can do in this fight that you people will give him credit for.

If he KO's Floyd, TKO's him or wins on points, you'll be alleging rigged fights and all sorts.

Bunch of salty haters.

For the record, my prediction for the fight I have made 3 times on this thread is a Floyd Mayweather TKO victory in the 9th round. But if Conor shocks the world I'll be the first to give him every credit. You guys are just sad haters.

There is no way Floyd would agree to lose the fight . Nobody is saying that ?

Ok so if Conor somehow wins you'll give him credit and not look to make excuses likes "Floyd is old" or "Conor got lucky"?

You said your self if "Conor shocks the world". Is that not the essence of getting lucky?

What can Conor do in this fight to earn your respect and/or admiration as a boxer? What's the bar he needs to pass for you to say "jeez he's pretty good"?

BTW Floyd has already requested that 50-0 is trademarked for him . Not sure what that means but seen it from reliable sources on Twitter

No.

Leicester City shocked the world winning the league.

They were most certainly not lucky.

Shocking the world means an underdog rising to the occasion and performing far beyond what people thought possible.

Nope, there is no lucky punch in combat.

Nothing. He's not a boxer. He's an MMA fighter chancing his arm at Boxing. He quits MMA and starts from the bottom rung in Boxing and makes his way through the ranks then we can talk about respect. Nobody is discrediting him as an athlete, as an MMA fighter.

Ah I see. So even beating one of the best boxers of all-time wouldn't be enough for you to give him credit for his latent boxing ability?

Seems legit.

He's never beating Floyd so I don't see how this is relevant.

I agree. I think Floyd will wear him down and I hope the towel will be thrown in the 9th to protect Conor from his own toughness.

But it's amusing that people are saying if he wins they won't give him credit.

Me too. If it gets to 9 sure Floyd may as well let him see the final bell.

Big loss/embarrassment for Floyd if it genuinely takes him 9 rds to get rid of an MMA fighter who has no pro boxing experience.

Good argument. I liked your reasoning in paragraph 2, where you outlined your points and backed them all up. Congrats. You truly are an polemicist extraordinare.

Now back to Posting For Grown-Ups:

Amateur wrestling is usually viewed as the toughest combat sport to compete in, due to the relentless grind, the weight cuts and the sport itself. Of course, that's up for debate, but in MMA most of the athletes will agree it's the art that they find the toughest to participate in.

Haters.

He gets to the 9th for many reasons. Floyd won't hurt him or drop him. It'll be an accumulation of damage that calls a halt to proceedings. Conor's right eye region is vulnerable to cuts and while the scar tissue has healed since the Mendes and Aldo fights, he's still prone to that opening. It'll probably be an accumulation of damage on that region that brings it to an end.

My three word reply you quoted was in response to a three word reply to my claim...see, there's always more to it.

There's a really good thread I posted a few years back on boxing beating all other sports for overall toughness......Loads of criteria looked at and when all added up boxing was numero uno!

Go chase it...

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman

Floyd via DQ

Its hard to see what McGregor does after this fight. He's been pretty obviously only motivated by money from step one so even if the fight does poorly on pay perview(which it wont) and he comes out with say $75million is it safe to say McGregor hits the road and never fights again?

As regards the fight itself and the arguments that are ensuing here @wonderfullife if Conor wins he will get all the credit he deserves there is no way that Mayweather agrees to lose. On the other hand if he gets schooled in boxing and beaten badly what will your opinion be of him? That he was stupid to get in the ring with a boxer when he had no talent in the boxing ring?

Haters? Your saying Floyd wont hurt or drop him? Floyd has fought 49 times and never lost, he's been arguably one of the best boxers ever and you think he wont be able to hurt Mcgregor? Your loyalty to the MMA fighter is getting in the way of common sense here.

I think Floyd will out-class Conor and beat him. He won't hurt him.

Floyd hasn't KO'd anybody since Hatton. That Victor Ortiz KO was complete nonsense, Conor won't be at that craic of touching gloves or dropping his hands.

Should I guess which forum it was hosted in? :pac:

You may chase it up if you wish to present it. Otherwise, it's the same as a million other threads to me right now - meaningless.

You are comparing Floyd fighting the best boxers in the world to a MMA fighter here ?

People will give him credit if he comes out and boxes well. Not everyone obviously, but proper boxing fans would.

The issue is that nobody is expecting that to happen as he doesn't have the necessary years of boxing practice behind him.
