The thing with Malignaggi is exposing the myth behind the fight. The sheer embarrassment it is going to be. I hope no one here is going to pay for this. I believe everything he has said.

I will gladly pay to watch this combat sports spectacle. When else in our lifetime will we get the opportunity to watch the greatest mma fighter of our generation against the greatest boxer of our generation.

It will be very entertaining to watch.

Jon Jones is fighting a boxer...?? :eek:

Oh... you're referring to Conor... the guy that has been strangled and tapped out THREE TIMES already in his MMA career! (and none of them by top fighters either btw)

Very good fighter on his day... in fairness... but certainly not the best.

It won't be entertaining, if you enjoy the idea of reasonably well matched opponents... Conor will be game and up for it. But that won't be enough to make a fight out of it. He will need a miracle!

I think Conor should fight a tiger or a gorilla in his next fight... I'm sure all his loyal fans will back him to come out victorious in those contests too!! :pac:

But sure couldn't a top amateur toy with McGregor?? Couldn't a top pro beat him with one arm behind his back??

Paulie has gone from scientist to useless fairly quickly.

Which is the REAL reason of course behind Paulie's meltdown.

This is the guy who said that Conor wouldn't even have a chance against him if he had one hand behind his back, ankle weights on and a neck brace holding his chin up...........

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4NTP3hyJRo

Which was (to be fair to Paulie) pretty much the consensus among the entire boxing community and now, as you say, Paulie has suddenly gone from the magic man to being about as popular as Gary Glitter would be at a school sports day.... and now everyone is suddenly emphasizing that he's a retired, and out of shape, who's last fight didn't mean anything at all and pay no attention to it being a WBC title, they're not all the same, the one he fought for was the bad one................... they can't ghost this guy quick enough :P

Straight after the '12 rounds' spar what did paulie do? Confronted Conor in the dressing room and demanded that he not put out any more pictures....... but sure of course he did, as he had just gone to the boxing media a few days before that and told them all that Conor's power was "severely overrated" and so the last thing he needed was any more pictures being released showing him to have been troubled by that same mma guy he demeaned in front of them mere days before..........

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44TlZr464g0

Let's be honest, Paulie thought he was going to the McGregor camp to teach Conor how to box, as he sniggered away to himself at the notion that this cage fighter thinks he can try his hand at the sweet science, bless him........... and instead he was actually given a fight, and boy can he not stand that.....

It seems you may be confused...

Conor asked Paulie to spar, and Paulie obliged - then when Paulie left Conor gave an interview stating he wanted to teach Paulie a lesson for previous words. A little bit sneaky in my book, as boxing is a well established sport there are many ethical rules to which Conor seems ignorant.

The myth that Conor had this unbelievable and superhuman punching power has well and truly been quashed - most people on here already knew this wouldn't hold up when facing a pro boxer, Paulie confirmed such and is now public enemy number 1, the efforts on social media to discredit him are truly amazing, and starting to get more cringy by the day.

Paulie could have put his case together in a paragraph....instead he's running around like a scared rabbit waffling away

If he knows on some level that he'll likely not win, then surely he just locks his wounds and backs his cheque. Even if his self believe is real, surely it's just a belief that he "can" win, rather than a delusion that it's the only outcome.

The only way I can see a negative physiological effect in future. Would be were be a fighter had bought into their own hype and believed that winning was routine, they just had to turn up. For example, Rousey didn't handle her first loss well.
I don't believe Conor fits that mould.

You don't believe anything negative about Conor, so it's hardly surprising you don't think he fits the mould.

What if Mayweather knocks him out in the first round? You think his ego could take being Ko'd by "brittle hands"?

He could put it together in one paragraph, but if journalists interested in the fight keep shoving a mike in his face then guess what - newsflash Paulie does like to talk.

Our DNA defines our characteristics, Mc Gregor gets a lot of credit from his fans for superhuman feats, but alas, Paulies speed of speech surely has to be contributed to his parents.

Na . Cant see anyone wanting to watch Conor box again after this .

super_furry

I think there’s too much money on the table for him not to continue. Mayweather, if he was so inclined, could finish this farce inside of a couple of minutes but I honestly believe he’ll drag it out to leave enough doubt for a rematch. His legacy is already secured, why wouldn’t he want another $100m payday?

McGregor fights Paulie in between the rematch and everyone goes home with more money that Bill Gates.

Sweet Science

Cant see it . Just say he does drag it out for a rematch and then Conor fights Paulie . He loses to Paulie so there will be no rematch anyway.

One and done . I've never been more convinced of someone getting embarrassed in a boxing ring as Conor will in a couple of weeks.

Yeah sure, he'll be dying of embarrassment as he walks off with his big bag of cash over his shoulder.

Probably is that.
Maybe alot of birds with 1 stone.publicity,another fight,revenge,sparing partner.

As mcgregor says it is good to have options. But a possible fight with Pauline would only work if conor wins. Actually scratch that if he wins then Fook knows.

Maybe a fight with paulie looks better if he loses.

Is this a bit like conor just setting up options for post the fight, with his pre fight antics(new York weigh in, ufc19? red panty night presser)probs not. But I would not be surprised.

Why do you think losses years ago has an impact on the assessment of his current ability? Genuine question, as I don't understand that logic.
Say he had not taken those fights, but was the same fighter today in terms of ability - only unbeaten. In that hypothetical, I don't think he should be ranked any higher, were an objective ranking possible.

Just asking a question btw. I agree that Jones is the GOAT, for numerous reasons. I also don't think that an MMA fighter is define by his record.

Is that timeline correct? I've watched very few of the interviews overall. But I definitely remember during the media tour Conor saying something like;

"We'll get him in for a knock, and he'll answer for what he said"

I don't agree with Conor (or his photographer) sticking the photo up. I also don't agree with how Paulie is acting.
Don't say it's their call to stick up photos, then spit the dummy when they do it.
But also said (when leaving) that he would give any details away, that didn't last long.

I think you might be mixing me up with another poster. Not sure what you are on about there about believing nothing negative about Conor.

I'm backing my opinion up with history btw. He has lost in MMA before and it dídn't crush his ego. In fact I think it made him a better fighter on more than one occasion. He's competed in JiuJitsu at the euros (biggest comp in the world) - he lost.
I simply don't think that he's under the same false delusion that Ronda Rousey was. And I don't think that's should be a polarizing opinion.

Why would brittle hands be relevant in a round one KO?

He could well knock him out in the first, and he could well break his hand doing it. The fights then over, a broken hand is irrelevant.
"Brittle hands" might make a 12th round KO less likely. But if that happens, I don't think his ego would be hurt.

Rousey had the opinion of herself based around the fact that she was demolishing opponents in the Octagon. It was based on her past performance despite all the hype being too much.

I was using "brittle hands" as Mcgregor likes to call Mayweather as simply that a name for mayweather. McGregor apparently believes he can win and doesn't belive Floyd can hurt him. So a first round KO .. well we'll see. Ah you know what I cant even make myself believe any of this.

Your probably right it will have no effect on Conor as he knows he's going to lose this one.

The goal posts have moved since last week. Last week any half decent boxer would have sparked conor in 1 round, or toyed with him over a few rounds but can end it at will.

In a boxing match Conor would be sparked out (or beaten up) by any half decent pro.

Now, a spar? That is a different scenario....

If the half decent pro set out to spark him then he would.

If the half decent pro was not a hitter, he would still be too good and would beat Conor up.

Khan, for example, is not really a hitter. Past his best days, not even a great pro in my book; he would annihilate Conor in a spar or a boxing match.

Paulie did state they were both trying to knock each other out

Sweet Science

Paulie couldnt knock me out with 16oz gloves and headgear . He said he beat him up though and wants the footage released. Doesnt bode well for Conor

Definitely not. But to be fair if he went 12 rounds in a spar it's proof he is working hard on his stamina.
