I don't think you understand the implication of half the things you say.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » Nobody that you're aware of thinks Floyd wouldn't beat Conor with one arm?? Like I said, you're living in lala land. Sure the post that suggested it remains unthanked and your reply just the one (and that's on a boxing forum). So where are all these people that believe such rubbish?

Outlaw Pete wrote: » Well where are all the posts agreeing then?? You're the one claiming that nobody you're aware of thinks Floyd wouldn't beat Conor with one arm/hand.......... You're aware of Planet Earth, right?? Well most of it's inhabitants don't think such foolishness. Look, you clearly have a chip on your shoulder about McGregor, an mere mma fighter, getting to fight Floyd Mayweather, the so called greatest to ever grace the prestigious sport of kings..... well tough titty, it's happening and you can sneer at possibility that McGregor could ever have anything in his arsenal that could hurt Floyd as much as you like, but something tells me come August 27th, that sneer will be well and truly wiped off your face.

As for all of this nonsense of "Conor is not a boxer" - incorrect. He is a licensed professional boxer with an 0-0 record.He might even retire at 1-0 after making a mockery of you 'experts'. :pac:

(as in flailing about like a fish out of water!) :pac: My point was, he's nowhere near in Floyd's league. And his boxing certainly gave McGregor some problems! Top boxers may not be able to defend a double leg takedown, or figure out how to get back to their feet once taken down... but equally, most MMA fighters would struggle to remain standing after a couple of rounds with a top boxer!! So it goes both ways... But they are totally different sports. Anyone who understands this, would not be surprised by either outcome!

For Mayweather it's a huge pay day and an easy night's work. Any top boxer beats McGregor handily in a boxing match let alone one of the greatest of all time...

wonderfullife wrote: » This thread shows the insecurity of boxing fans sitting in their ivory towers. People are slating this fight as a farce, a joke, a sham, a circus because it's a necessary insurance policy for you all to defend your sport if the unthinkable happens. The truth is if Conor goes in there and beats Floyd (by KO, TKO or decision) it will shatter the preconception that special athletes in different combat sports can't immediately make the transition to boxing and, on their day, beat the best. So you're all laying the groundwork for excuses in case Conor does well and wins, that's all this thread has been! It's very easy to discredit a Conor victory when you lay the groundwork ahead of time that the fight is more of an exhibition. Insecure stuff. Trust me on this - MMA fans wouldn't be carrying on like you lot if the roles were reversed. We would be saying 'fair play to Floyd showing balls getting in the Octagon but Conor is going to tear his head off'. Anyway it'll be one of life's greatest pleasures to read this thread if Conor does pull off the upset. It'll be like a salt mine.
