The only impressive thing about that clip is how bad ricky hattons jab is, wtf was he doing?

Aint in dreamland I know paquiao would be the favourite, its just some people don't understand the meaning of the word zero. Either that or they know nothing about boxing because its a fact that mcgregors countering skills make him a threat to anybody.

Its their own fault since in their own arrogance and stupidity they failed to make any Superstars. Since Zuffa took over in the early 00s to present WME ZERO stars were made under their watch/es. Zuffa walked in with already made stars [Tito,Chuck,Randy,Vitor, even GSP made himself] and none under WME [Ronda and Conor made themselves] The superstar the UFC went out of their way to make was Dana White. They arrogantly think that the UFC brand is what sells. not the fighters. This is why they've put out crap card after crap card and expect people to pay to watch it. Now they expect people to pay $80 for a PPV next year.

So as frustrating as Conor's antics can be as a fan the deserves it for not making any stars to fill the void.

How exactly can UFC/Zuffa/WME "make" stars?don't understand you at all. Stars make themselves as you said with McGregor and Rousey

Oh look, mcgregor miscalculated the distance by 1mm, shame on him.

I just watched Conors new movie and I thought "sure ill go onto boards and see if anyone is discussing it". I did not even think in my wildest imagination that someone here woudl be saying "he has a chance against Manny" WTF like?

Conor got carried into the later ronunds by Mayweather, mainly so the fight looked competitive and Mayweather wont get shat on for taking such a bogus fight. If Manny goes in there and wants to finish Conor, he could probably do it in under two rounds. I hope to see Conor v Ferguson or at the very least Conor v Diaz. There is no way Ferguson should agree to fight Khabib (which is looking likely atm) unless he is either made undisputed Lightweight champion or gets to fight Conor first.

I think you need to look up what a promoter does.

Do you really think mayweather cares about what people think about the fight afterwards. He already took the fight against someone whos 0-0. It's about 2 things only, money and winning. Theres no way mayweather could have stopped mcgregor earlier, he couldn't even put him down when he was completely gassed in round 10 despite landing headshot after headshot.

They promote fights, get people interested in buying fights. Tell me any MMA 'star' that was "made" by a promotor

Oh look, he threw it half arsed, chin in the sky, flared his elbow and dragged it back to his waist.

What did Ronda ever do to "make" herself?

They promoted the hell out of her and she was decent looking so it wasn't hard.

Don't need them checked, I see one fighter who steps in with the most pointless telegraphed punch ever and deservedly gets ko'd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wXbhVMb4aQ The other slightly misses from a safe distance.

Nah we aren't going down this road again are we?

The only happy ending in a Manny v Conor fight is Manny gets to end his career with a huge payday and a TKO victory because absolutely no way does Conor have even a sniff of a chance against any top level boxer in a boxing match.

What makes you think mcgregor has no chance against any top level boxer.

Is it because he didn't drop mayweather? Mayweathers never been dropped before.
Is it because he didn't beat mayweather? Mayweathers never been beaten before.
Is it because he looked bad at some points against mayweather? How do other boxers usually look against mayweather?
Is it because he's not a boxer? If he can win rounds against mayweather, he is a boxer.
Is it because mayweather supposedly wasn't trying? Yeah okay.

Because if you're going to say he has 'no chance' at least give some reasoning why you think he has no chance. :P

Never said he had "no chance", but has an extremely low chance. But, I do love a good argument...

Reasons:
- He isn't a boxer, at all. Once he actually tried to box Mayweather it all fell apart. You can reference that one uppercut till the cows come home. His footwork was crap, he speed was average, his power wasn't dangerous. He looked properly lost after round 3.

- Pacs pace (even at his age now) is savage, he pushes the pace and has serious power, he deformed some of his opponents.

What ever else about the reasons above, I want him back in MMA for Christ's sake, he has danced around UFC now for over a year. Boxing gets him the money, but would anyone really want to see him get punched around again for a few dozen million? Not I.

Go back, defend his belt. Simple as that. If he goes after boxing again then ill leave it at that.

He had alot more success than just the 1 uppercut. I agree he looked a bit lost but first boxing match and against mayweather had to be messing with his head a bit. He didn't seem his usual composed self early on and was rushing at the start of every round.

I don't think mcgregor hits as hard as alot of people seem to think, but I also don't think its as weak as it looks. He seems to have a deceptive power, you could see alot of physical reactions from mayweather whenever mcgregor landed.

Paquiao is a completely different style, better in some ways and worse in others. More of a dangerous combination puncher than mayweather but he's got a short reach and leaps in alot which would give mcgregor alot of openings for counters.

If he wants to box so be it, people should just be grateful he's willing to put his health on the line for our entertainment. The belt/rankings/defending is nonsense in mma. The rankings mean nothing, there's too many ways to lose, any decent fighter can beat any other decent fighter on any given day and that's just a fact. The hard part is for fighters to get enough consecutive wins to earn matchups against higher ranked fighters, doesn't mean they're worse because the #14 they lost to could possibly beat #3 if only they were given a chance.

The game plan has been laid out by Diaz in the first fight and Mayweather. If you push the pace and can walk down McGregor he will at some stage wilt. And when that happens and he starts breathing out his arse he's very hittable. I imagine Pac would get him out of there quicker thay Mayweather just for the simple fact it would be a capstone on his career to end on a quick stoppage.

As for the anyone can beat anyone aspect of MMA, that's why I love it to be fair. So many ways a fight can end if you aren't on your guard at all times. And records aren't near as padded as undefeated boxers who go years in their early career fighting bums just to build a 20-0 record or whatever. Generally speaking at the UFC level, if you're winning fights you progress to tougher opposition no question.

Would be better off having two mcgregor threads at this stage. One in the boxing forum and one in the MMA forum.

We'll have to keep the MMA one on ice til he decides to stop ****ing around in bellator/boxing.

I genuinely can't believe the same boxing debates are getting fired up again. What the fuuuuuuuck.
