When Masato from K-1 was fighting the korean fighter who was the gold medalist in amatuer boxing, that korean fighter was asked to rank where Masato would fit if he were to be competing in pure boxing and he answered that Masato would be somewhere amongst boxers competing in asian portion of the world.
I believe Conor surely found a place for himself in the history books and his most impressive accomplishemts in all likelihood guarantees him the honor as the third best fighter of all time. However, though I do think Conor might be the fighter who most beautifully represented the sweet science in the octagon better than anybody, I'm not so sure where Conor would fit in in terms of rankings if he were to compete in amatuer/pro boxing, or if he would even be the top dog in Europe or even in Ireland.
