Trying to tell me Zab Judah threw a straight left at the speed of light due to his ninja reflexes. Lmao. It was a double jab, step-in left hand, thrown with no speed at all and still landed flush. But of course they expect Conor to look like Homer Simpson in there against Floyd. Scandalous lack of knowledge of Conor's skills. Here's a list of people who, so far, say Conor *CAN* win. Emphasis on "can", not "will": Steve Collins Freddie Roach Al Iaquinta Dan Hardy Jason Quigley Stitch Duran Eddie Alvarez Brendan Schaub Chris Weidman Joe Rogan Conor Wallace GSP But what would all these people know when we have internet experts stating he has a 0% chance.

I guess for now we can just keep an eye on sports news sites to get an indication of when and where these might be happening. One slightly annoying thing about this fight is that it so far isn't entirely clear (to me at least) whether the promotion / marketing is going to come from the UFC end or the Mayweather end - for instance, would Dana White be introducing the press conferences, as he would a UFC event? Or will it be entirely Floyd's people handling it all now that the UFC have signed their end of the contract?

walshb wrote: » If I had to bet I would bet that Floyd has more chance to beat Conor than he does to beat AJ. The punchers chance scenario in both cases presents more chance of success with Floyd landing on Conor with 4 oz gloves than him landing on 250 lbs 6 feet 5 inch AJ with 10 oz gloves. I can't believe I have to point this obvious sh1t out.

GerryDerpy wrote: » Her voice had me fooled :-) The reason she has no chance is due to the relative difference in ability to supply and or receive kinetic energy. I believe that is comparable to Conor vs Stipe. I cannot see a scenario where conor wins. You asked the question - that is my answer and reason.

wonderfullife wrote: » Yeah you were wrong the first and second time you said it and you're still wrong now. Gamebred has lost the plot also. But answer me this Walshb: By your logic, you believe Floyd Mayweather has more chance of beating Anthony Joshua in boxing than he does of beating Conor in MMA?

walshb wrote: » Ridiculous analogy, and you know it.... See my post. In case you don't know, Katie is female. Size difference is one reason. But not D only reason. And I clearly mentioned this when I said that a few days ago. So, if you want to be clear, include exactly my reasoning. Conor has more chance vs UFC HW champion. Simple as that.
GerryDerpy wrote: » No no I am not letting you away with that. You said Conor would be done for murder against Katie Taylor because of the size difference. It is the exact same with HW champ. Skill is irrelevant. Conor would have no chance. Less chance than vs Floyd to answer your question.
walshb wrote: » What has Katie got to do with this? I am comparing Conor vs. UFC HW champion in an MMA fight vs. Conor against Floyd in a boxing ring, and you bring up Katie Taylor?....:rolleyes:
GerryDerpy wrote: » I think it was you that said Conor would be done for murder if he fought Katie Taylor. It is the same scenario against a heavyweight so you are being a hypocrite.

walshb wrote: » Well, in this comparison your theory isn't 100 percent accurate. 1st: Conor is at least fighting MMA 2nd: It doesn't take a massive shot to drop most men, bigger than you or not. 3rd. Conor would likely have more chance to land a heavy punch on the UFC HW champion in an MMA contest than the hail mary KO shot on Floyd in a boxing contest. Very slim chance against the UFC HW champion. Even slimmer against Mayweather in a boxing ring under boxing rules.
