I dont have to wait until Sunday to say that after the fact. I don't think you're a fool though, you desperately want Conor to win and i've no problem with that. But it can lead to delusional thinking, and saying that Conor will outbox Floyd on the outside is honestly the most delusional thing i've heard from you or anyone else yet. (overtaking the "he KO's Canelo" comment) Oh and btw, should the shock of the century happen and Conor KO's Floyd i will be here Sunday morning to congratulate him and all of his fans. I will also be buying the Secret and asking to join the Church of Conor to kneel at his altar. No doubt about it.

wonderfullife wrote: » 100% disagree. The game plan will be to keep the fight at distance. Conor will fight nearer his normal kicking range, launch darting attacks and land counters when Floyd tries to cover distance. Sure, there'll be some clinching as in every boxing match but there's no way the gameplan is to smother him. Conor will outbox him from the outside imo and there'll be a lot of people scratching their heads Sunday wondering what in the hell just happened.

I firmly believe He has a rat in the McGregor camp feeding back information. 10 lbs is nothing tbh, in fact Its prob less than a standard weight cut for conor, the usual cut is 14-16lbs on fight week. Makes you wonder the type of hell he went through to make 145 - seriously bad for him, he really is blessed MW called this fight at 154

I was thinking you perhaps clicked the wrong option in error or something... because nobody could seriously be foolish enough, to actually believe that Conor could go the distance, and take Floyd to a decision... But I stand corrected... you really are that foolish!! :pac: Impressive... I thought we hit the bedrock of delusion quite a while ago in this thread... but you just keep breaking new ground!!

Pete is going the very logical and sensible route yet is passionately arguing against it here...and almost takes offence at the logical points being made to cone to the KO conclusion.. The thread of craziness this.

Eyes Down Field wrote: » Floyd is probably right. I firmly believe He has a rat in the McGregor camp feeding back information. Such a stupid thing to say. He's confident, so he'll win? That makes no sense. I could have all the confidence in the world that I could beat Serena Williams in a tennis match. It's not going to stop her from destroying me in straight sets. "If". McGregor won't be able to land a single clean punch on Mayweather. Jose also is not a boxer. Mayweather is a difference animal all together. The switch between 8s and 10s make fck all different to Floyd. He wins regardless. The only thing the 8s will do is give McGregor more blind confidence to attack early, which just plays into Mayweather's game.
