Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match

Axwell

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 3.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.

Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function.

Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

**Upate with Mayweather vs McGregor announced**

Lads consider this the one and only warning - big fight with a lot of hype around it. It brings new fans to the forum as well as the regulars so try and get along. Any trolling or nonsense and people will find themselves on a break from the forum and that applies to everyone.

GSP v Conor is the fight they'd like to do sure. Nothing surprising about that. Conor would be delighted to fight it at 170lbs and would surely ease him away from the boxing talk for such a big fight.

I'm not so sure if he'd be delighted about it. Sure, the money would be astronomical but I don't think he can afford another MMA loss so soon after the last one. A boxing loss to Floyd would do him no harm at all but getting grappled to death even by a legend like Georges wouldn't be the best idea in my opinion, it'd be a great fight to bow out with but I doubt Conor's at that stage yet.

I'd love to see it though all the same, my two favourite fighters ever in the same octagon, it'd be incredible.

Interesting GSP was announced (to return later in the year) at the exact time Conor is out in America meeting the owners, might be reaching but Conor GSP is booked and their using Floyd to even generate more news, will bump this when they fight in September #IllumantiConfirmed

tbf This thread outlived its usefulness once McGregor became the biggest star in UFC. If you want to get some news on McGregor just have a look at mmafighting.com or any other fightsports-centric website; whatever mcgregor´s up to will be the first story. Having a mcgregor thread here is akin to having a Ronaldo thread on the soccer forum or a U2 thread on the music forum. There are too many people trying to have a go at someone successful and on the internet those who shout loudest unfortunately are the ones that get read.

Fair points but I do actually think the posters in here raise some interesting topics and come up with some decent conversation. Put it another way, I doubt they are talking about Tom Egan on Reddit. So it is useful to have a thread to discuss things like that related to Conor that don't warrant their own thread.

There's only so many times the Floyd and Khabib match-ups can be talked about. I like to think Conor himself knows this and that's partly why he got his skates on going over to Vegas and LA this week to actually get himself back in the news with some actual news to report i.e. his Nevada boxing licence.

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

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

Jeez that's a bit unfair to Kavanagh

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?

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.

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".

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.

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?

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.
