His boxing ability can't be questioned Imo, it's what carried him his entire career, for a man with no power and pillow fists to be a 2 time world champ is a testament to that.

People still need to realise the jump from Paulie to Floyd though. It's massive. Paulie is an average boxer who's talked his way into big fights for most of his career. He's now shot to pieces too. Floyd a different animal altogether. Hope this makes the odds shift and Floyd comes shorter.

Morrison J wrote: » He has no elite wins on his record. A number of levels below Floyd. He's also shot to bits. Never had good head movement as a pro and relied on his legs defensively. Those legs are gone. Not a massive achievement that he caught him clean in 30 seconds of footage.

walshb wrote: » Conor certainly doesn't look bad in the spar. Something I have said, he's not a dummy as regards boxing. The guy can punch and move and he is a fighter. The straight left hand he hit Paulie with in Dana's first clip was savage.. His problem is that he is leagues below what is needed to be a genuine threat to Floyd. So, relative to top class pro boxing he is a dummy. Not literally, I mean in the sense of his level compared to top class.
