I watched some multiple times. Most I'd seen before, others I hadn't. I think if people want to give a fair opinion on how Conor's boxing might translate from an octagon to a ring, at least watch his fights.

People who aren't fans of Mayweather and don't typically watch his fights will tune in by the droves. They'll watch Floyd do his thing, he'll barely be hit, he'll clinch when he wants to, and he'll get out relatively unscathed. These people will say that Floyd is boring, not a fighter, and will say things like "People pay to watch this ****?". They'll say that McGregor is the better man on principle because "at least he came to fight". That's if McGregor doesn't get Hatton'd. It happens every time Floyd fights. He's great at attracting the casuals but they have no appreciation for his game. The outcome and response are almost always the same.

If John 100% believes in Conor to win this fight, would that not lead you to conclude Conor's chances are better than you first imagined? I imagine Owen Roddy was also down there when you first went and he 100% believes in him. Do you not think it's possible that these guys have more evidence than us to gauge Conor's pure boxing ability and if they say they believe he will win, that's a good tip in itself? The reason I raised the question of MMA and street-fights was because a lot of boxing purists I see on this forum and online, seem to believe that Floyd has a good chance in a street fight and a decent chance of KO'ing Conor with 4oz gloves in the Octagon.

He can't bite Conor, eye gouge him, head butt him, whatever is going through your mind. By the time Floyd even considers the above he'll be on his back getting choked out. I'm also muting you for a) your ignorance and b) my sanity. Vargas is ignorant and arrogant about MMA because he clearly states he knows nothing about MMA in the same interview. You're also muted.

wonderfullife wrote: » You posted a sarcastic meme in response to my post about a street fight, so you obviously care enough to go fetch a meme to try look clever. There's 3 ways many people discuss Conor fighting Floyd: Boxing MMA On the street. Irish bookies who love money have Conor at 4/1 to WIN the fight and 11/8 for it go the full 12 rounds. I'd argue in MMA it would be 100/1 Floyd to win the fight and 500/1 for it to go the full 5 rounds. On the street, Floyd has almost no chance of surviving. As close to zero as possible - 0.00001%. If people believe Conor has no chance in boxing but Floyd has some chance on the street or in the Octagon, then they're not worth taking seriously.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » The way I see the fight going is Floyd starting out with lots of matrix esque showboating moves, almost laughing at McGregor's efforts.... but then McGregor suddenly catches Floyd with a hard left to the body hurting his ribs and totally changing the fight.....from that point on they trade blows in a very close and brutal affair with both fighters close to getting counted out at many points throughout, even in the 12th... and just before the final bell sounds a bloody and breathless Floyd whispers in McGrgeor's ear that he ain't getting no rematch.... and McGregor snaps back that that he don't want one. Barely able to see out of one eye Conor ignores efforts to interview him and starts hollering for Dee... who we then see slowly running from the tunnel, spotlit, holding Conor Jnr...... crowd are going wild..........but she slips...... and the baby goes flying through the humid Vegas air............... but McGrgeor jumps up on the ropes and flings himself off, just managing to catch him before he lands on the press booth...... whereupon Conor Jnr says his very first words.... 'You'll do nothing!' A journalist immediately runs over and sticks a mic in McGregor's face and says 'Conor, that was some catch, Real Madrid need a new keeper, would you do it??' McGregor says: 'I hear them talking alright and yeah, I could catch anything, going at any speed.... we'll see'. Folks don't take it all so serious... it's just a fight and we may as well enjoy the madness as none of us truly have any bloody idea what's going to happen in all fairness.

McGregor will land a few but mostly to the arms and glancing blows Am I being disparaging to 'our' sport? If Mayweather doesn't get him out of there he loses credibility in being able to call himself the best.

wonderfullife wrote: » You've spent over a year now contributing next to zero to this forum other than trolling me and Conor fans, so you're in no position to be slating anyone. I think it's right to call out boxing people who say stupid things about our sport. Vargas said stupid things. Teddy Atlas said stupid things. Max Kellerman said stupid things. Walshb said plenty of them. There's an arrogance going through the entire boxing world. An arrogance that comes from a position of ignorance. You're not an MMA fan anyway so I don't expect you to understand any desire to defend a sport you love.
