wonderfullife wrote: » Nah. Maybe I didn't get the right posts but all of the boxing forum experts were saying Conor wouldn't touch a pro-boxer in sparring or a fight. Walshb and Sweet Science in particular basically saying Conor wouldn't beat a mid-level Irish amateur and won't land a glove on an elite pro-boxer... August 27th is going to be a good day.

noc1980 wrote: » The sudden downplaying of Paulie's achievements since Conor went 12 rounds and finished the stronger, is exactly why Paulie's been so hesitant to praise Conor. He has the boxing world calling him an out of shape bum because he allowed an MMA guy go 12 rounds. Imagine the backlash if he were to say Conor actually does have "omg power" - 'what, you were rocked by an MMA guy?' His reputation would be in the gutter.

wonderfullife wrote: » Conor not a boxer, we're blinded by obsession, he has no chance of getting to the 9th round.. Failed as an amateur... reasonable to say he'd suck as a pro... Ok... On a serious point, it's only sparring. But from the tone of the posts from the boxing forum, we were all led to believe that any half decent professional boxer worth his salt would destroy Conor (even in sparring) and not get touched. "LOL you don't understand the Sweet Science bro"... I'm not going to crow over Conor being competitive in sparring with Paulie because I knew he'd be competitive but I just hope WHEN he beats Floyd you'll reassess your thinking.

What is undoubtedly - matter of factly, absolutely hilarious - is the boxing contingents not-so-subtle rowing back on Paulie's seeming prowess, or lack thereof. 'Oh, he's out of shape/ he's retired/ he's pillow-fisted...' and on and on.

The clinch won't work that much for him either because it will be stopped by the ref, as it should be.

walshb wrote: » Also, one has to consider his boxing career as an amateur. He didn't make it near the top... I think it's more than reasonable to say no, he does not make it to a decent pro level....
