    How do you know how much he has donated to charity?



    I know of at least 2 hes helped without going public (not for massive money) and he publicly gave 50k to a homeless charity.

    McGregor has a glass chin. Diaz and Mendes wobbled him for pity sake.

    It's not a slight on McGregor but Maywewther beats him with one arm in a boxing match

    Lol you haven't a clue what you talking about or watching if you think Conor has a glass chin.
    Wow! She has his back!.........what age are the posters round here?

    Your posts on horse racing are bad enough. Dont embarrass yourself further over here. Your posts here so far are mortifying.

    Someone never dropped in their life has a glass chin, only on boards would you hear a statement like it.

    You'd hear it in Sherdog too, but that's a comparison we should try to avoid. :pac:

    Vasyl Lomachenko suggests UFC gloves in boxing ring McGregor vs Mayweather -(EsNews Boxing) - could make it a bit more interesting and fair for McGregor.

    Though in a straight boxing match its Mayweather every time.:D

    Over and over again, I hear many say they're tiring of his behavior, but his IG following is now at 10.6 million.  I feel like the last time I checked, it was 3 million.

    Why would Mayweather agree to that especially with his brittle hands?

    There's only one stage big enough to host this extravaganza of a match-up....
    WRESTLEMANIAAAAAA

    It'd be a good out for Mayweather in the event of getting his head taken clean off........his 49/0 record would remain as it wouldn't be recognized as a boxing bout with those gloves

    I think he'd be more worried about the prospect of damaging his hands.

    Interesting to see the tide start to turn a bit against McGregor.

    For many, he came from nowhere, and just started winning fights. He seemed to be a bit of an underdog and he was doing it "for Ireland". People could get behind a guy like that.

    His cockiness and smack talk was an entertaining if slightly overblown sideshow, but the excitement of the fights and his real skills made him a star.

    Seems now he is made for life he wants to be a bit comfortable. Enjoy the best of everything and that's just a disconnect with the fan base now. He doesnt want some nacker approaching him when he's sitting in his lambo in a D&G suit that he actually had to pay for.

    What's he doing for Ireland/ the people now? If he's not fighting he's just enjoying himself and that's not what people want to see.

    For a lot of people, myself included, it's nothing to do with the disconnect. It's simply a matter of him turning into a bigger and bigger assh*le. Whether it's trolling or not it's just become completely tiresome. He was a funny rogue. He's just a d*ck now.

    he's just transitioning from Pretty Boy Floyd into Money May

    You have come on leaps and bounds since your earlier days, but you are spewing far more insane sh*t about Conor KO'ing Floyd. You're either an absolute [lovable] idiot or a massive troll. I love Conor and despise Floyd, but it's just not gonna happen. Canelo/Maidana/Multiple others who are all insanely superior boxers and much, much bigger hitters than Conor couldn't get close. Mosley is/was a KO artist with crazy power and even his biggest shot (albeit past his prime) couldn't floor Floyd.

    People equating Conor having a big left hand to boxers who are far, far bigger hitters is insane. Absolutely insane. And no Floyd won't throw the fight for an extra payday. He's already 500mil+ rich and losing to an MMA fighter would absolutely destroy his legacy. Floyd will toy with Conor if it happens and despite Floyd's lack of power, he will finish Conor whenever he wants. Probably within 4/5 rounds.

    Your 2 contributions today have been to call me a 12 year old for accurately quoting (#FakeNews!) Joanna Jedrzejczyk and to troll Mdwexford.

    What do you think of Conor? Next opponent? Fighting stance? Can he counter-fight against a counter-fighter like Floyd? Can his takedown defence in open-space hold up for 25 mins against Khabib? Would GSP v Conor do over 2 million buys?

    Thoughts on Khloe Kardashians ass?

    Anything?

    Does anybody agree with Teddy Atlas?

    I found Atlas's comments a bit dinosaur-esque but then I heard something similar from a few MMA pundits.

    Basically saying Conor will be losing so badly he will decide to kick Floyd in the face or take him down and submit him, get DQ'd and claim a "moral victory".

    You can't make a ****ty point without correctly spelling the name of the subject of the thread, to be fair. To be fair, I'm not even from close to Offaly. To be fair, you're still embarrassing yourself. To be fair.

    When all else fails, change the subject and don't admit you were wrong, right?

    I haven't seen Teddy's comments, can you link to them? I think Conor has zero chance against Floyd. I'd like to hear Teddy's opinion even though I'm not his biggest fan.

    What do I think of conor? Like yourself I have never met him but he seems to be a classy kind of guy. As for Conor v Floyd, I believe all of the top ranked professional boxers in Conors weight division would beat him in a boxing match.

    Seen Conor's binman following and retweeting right wing nut jobs on twitter, its not right it reflects badly on Conor only a matter of time before its on the front page.

    This thread is a mess and a fight hasn't even been announced. God help us if anything becomes official.

    they both worship money so they're a draw on that card :pac:

    If the Conor boxing match is announced will the Conor thread be moved to the boxing forum?

    Conor's persona is annoying.

    His fighting remains great.

    He reminds me of the Greek story flying too close to the sun and all.

    He has created this narrative that his self-belief is what has powered his success. I think this is dangerous for him to believe in. For his size he has huge arm length and he has the Midas knockout touch. In other words his genetics are the main driving force behind his success, not his self-belief.

    His self-belief is a useful tool for him no doubt, but it's his genetics.

    I look forward to seeing him fight in the UFC again once this Mayweather farce is over
