The standpoint he took is that he wouldn't want Freddie Roach coaching Conor because he already tried to coach Pacquiao to victory and failed. I disagreed completely with that viewpoint but anyway, I think the general gist is that they don't want boxing advice from boxing experts like Paulie because they don't want Conor to fight like a boxer. They want him to fight like a mixed martial artist in a boxing ring.

Ladbrokes will give you the 4th round too at 5/1. And the 5th and 6th round at 5/2. I like William Hill's price of 11/4 on Mayweather by TKO in any round but it doesn't cover you in the event Floyd winning by straight knockout.

But MMA is a multi-discipline sport. So many paths to victory. We have seen successful fighters with poor cardio. Successful fighters who are short for their weight class. Some who are overweight. Some who lack fast twitch muscle. There is no perfect set of attributes - there is a counter (physically / tactically) for everything.
Talking about absolute genetic advantages in a sport with high emphasis on technique/skill and infinite variety of stylistic possibilities is absolute hogwash.
