Yes, because you can buy class by giving money to charity.

You're attacking an argument that I never made... classic strawman. I don't think that. Never said it. Never implied it.

I've got news for you...

To people who know a bit about this sport, every time you suggest that Conor should be given greater respect in a boxing ring. Or that you think he has a chance in the early rounds... you are in fact, sh!tting all over the sport and the skills that have taken FM to the top of it.

Whether you mean to or not, is not really the point.

1) he's not my hero

"He's got a chance dammit... he's got a chance!!"

I give him next to no chance (slim is next to none - that's what it means, chief)

Ok, if you say so.... skipper!!(:pac::pac::pac:)...

I addressed all points put to me.

Of course you did, skipper... like a boss!!

Untrue, as users even posted on the thread commenting on John's answers to questions I had asked him regarding not shaking Floyd's hand etc. I also asked him about steroid use and how he would react if he found a fighter using and also how a suicide of one the instructors affected him professionally. Mainly one line questions...... as I didn't arrogantly think questions in the form of essays would be appropriate.

- We already knew his thoughts on shaking floyd's hand. Widely reported.

- What, did you expect him to endorse steroid use in MMA? lol

- That last one is a bit rude. You don't know the man... none of your beeswax tbh. (it's also fairly obvious that a suicide would be troubling to him or anyone else connected)

You fanboys really want all the dirty details, eh?

Your constant use of smileys ain't fooling anyone (other than your chums that is). It's clear you are bothered and it's clear you were trying to turn the AMA into being about you and attempting to spotlight what you had to say than showing any real interest in what JK had to say.

Hey, lay off my smilies... (they help convey my colorful personality) :P:P

I had plenty interest in what JK had to say... but I wasn't particularly impressed with his efforts in that AMA tbh. I guess some people are just more easily entertained/impressed than others!

Yet another smiley.... you're trying so hard to come across as if you're smiling but it's clear you banged all this crap into your keyboard with butthurt aggression. If I wanted likes, I would hardly look for them on a Boxing forum by positing positive things about an mma fighter now would I. Maybe make some sense next time you post.

What the fcuk have you got against smilies...?? If you think this is bad... just be thankful you don't have to read my text messages!!! :pac::pac:

It's not "unrealistic" to give McGregor a "slim chance" of winning

Any chance you might indulge us, in how you invisage that "slim chance" playing out in the actual boxing match...??

I'd love to read your fleshed out view on how you see it all going down... (in the unlikely event that Conor does in fact take his "slim chance")

Firstly, nobody is worked up but you. Yourself and walshie seem obsessed with saying people are worked up or taking things personally when they're not. Secondly, it wasn't a throwaway comment as it has been said in the mma forum also. It's an idiotic thing to say but shows the level of fanboiism we're dealing with here that anywould honestly believe such a thing.

Put it this way... I find it highly unlikely, that walshb was attempting to start some big discussion on the merits of one-handed boxing!

I think everyone else sensed that... hence why the post drifted harmlessly away, without much hassle. But for some reason, it seemed to enrage you! (I wonder why that is?)

So one minute you argue that it was a throwaway comment......... and then the next you are trying to justify and give credence to the moronic opinion that Floyd could win with one fucking arm. Open a window, chief. You're showing signs of oxygen deprivation.

The truth is, we don't really know. There have been some examples, like I alluded to, where boxers have damaged their hands mid-fight... so the point is, it's not really moronic.

There is just a lack of historical precedence for any real meat and bones discussion on it. (if anyone except you, actually had the desire for such)

Floyd does have two very good hands, though. Both better than McGregor's in a boxing ring... he's deadly accurate with either paw. I certainly wouldn't be ruling it out as "moronic"...

It certainly is amusing to think about though! But I reckon this thing will be embarrassing enough for Conor, without the need to add any more humiliation!

The point was that there are certain ways of him approaching this fight which would advance his admittedly slim chances of winning. You're not making any good points here. You say merely fighting Floyd is playing into his hands. Seriously, wake up. McGregor will earn more money this fight than he has ever earned before and perhaps will again (on one night at least) and so he's playing into nobody's hands by taking the fight.

Like what, for example...??

Please, elaborate... I'm intrigued...

Will Mr "Touch-butt" have any part to play in these special techniques!? :pac::pac:

Look, most people accept his chances of winning are slim. If you don't want to comment on what tactics you feel might be best for Conor to adopt and which wouldn't, then stay out of the conversation as you're just embarrassing yourself by weakly and predictably sniping from the sidelines saying 'It doesn't matter, he'll get beat no matter what'.

I don't really think there are any tactics he can use... aside from becoming a better boxer.

I can think of a few ways he could take less damage, and avoid an early night eating the canvas. But in terms of actually winning the fight? Nope, nothing!

But you obviously disagree... so please elaborate on what your thoughts are!?

He was under prepared..... was supposed to fight at 155 and within 10 days that was changed to fight at 170.... also had a staph infection in the lead up.

He was rubbish... against a rank average fighter!!

And I'm no Conor hater btw... I enjoy watching him fight (in a cage, where he belongs)... and I gave him plenty of praise for all his fights previous to Diaz #1 and #2.

He put Diaz on his back multiple times. A taller, heavier fighter.

They both made the welterweight limit... Diaz is a scrawny f*cker... he's a natural 155lb fighter. (They both are!!)

He didn't make a blunder.

Yeah, he clearly did... that first fight was a trainwreck!

The second was only marginally better. He still got dragged into a war, with a tough journeyman! Entertaining as hell, but not too impressive...

Wrong, it's a fight. Like I said, inside three and Conor has a slim chance, if it goes to more than that..... then it becomes a boxing match and unless Floyd has been hurt somewhat in those early three rounds, it would then actually become a boxing clinic.

There is no reason (in my mind) to think that the first 3 rounds, will be any less of a boxing match than any other round.

Floyd is going in there to box the ears off Conor, from the first bell... he'll be conservative and cautious, as per usual, but he's still going to fighting his game.

What factors make you think Conor can force Floyd into a fight??
