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.
So, you don't think experience and decades of training in a particular sport counts for much then...?
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")
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.
Will Mr "Touch-butt" have any part to play in these special techniques!? :pac::pac:
They both made the welterweight limit... Diaz is a scrawny f*cker... he's a natural 155lb fighter. (They both are!!)
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!

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

I wasn't particularly impressed with his efforts in that AMA tbh. I guess some people are just more easily entertained/impressed than others!

Outlaw Pete wrote: » Sure: McGregor I feel should fight in a manner not too dissimilar to Hatton but as he has reach on Mayweather unlike Hatton did, shouldn't get as close or be as gung ho. Have a feeling Conor will fight quite defensively at first as that will give Floyd a false sense of security, see Conor as not having much to offer. Mayweather is the name here and expectations will be on him to school Conor and as a result I see McGregor drawing out Mayweather rather than the other way around and THAT is when I feel McGregor has his best chance to land and potentially TKO him. If he hasn't managed that by the end of Round 3 then fight is over and Mayweather will just box him up from that point on, as he did with Hatton in those later rounds.
If McGregor came up with a plan to knock Floyd out in the 10th, how the hell does he manage to get that far against someone like Floyd? Much easier to frustrate Floyd in the early rounds and go for a knockout then....... goes without saying. Again, he only has a slim chance (in my view) of doing that.... but he would have zero chance late on in the fight or by decision (barring injury of course) for obvious reasons (not to you.... granted).

Maravilla33 wrote: » Wouldn't say McGregor is a classy guy but at the bottom of it all I get the impression he is a decent skin. That is just my opinion. I don't find him annoying as I view it all as him selling himself and it's worked. If he acted the same way with his mates or at home with the family then I'd find him annoying. Mayweather is just a pr1ck. Not saying that makes Conor classy. They aren't mutually exclusive.
