Floyd prob wins 120-108 on all 3 cards, but.....

I mean if Conor lands one shot, is it really the biggest upset in fight sport history?

I think short camp, overweight, mom just died Buster Douglas over a prime Tyson, after getting off the deck in round 8, was unfathomablly bigger.

Yeah, I just posted this in another thread.

"Douglas was given so little chance of lasting against Tyson, let alone beating him, that nearly every betting parlor in Las Vegas refused to hold odds for the fight. The one casino that did, The Mirage, made Douglas a 42-to-1 underdog."

Even if conor lands in boxing gloves floyd wouldnt get knocked out. He has a good chin and didnt really take any punishment his whole career.

Remember what Conor said man "nobody can take that left hand."

Floyd's a natural FW and Conor hits like a MW.
 
Cant believe all the theories going into this 'fight.' If it happens, IF, it will be a sparring in match with little action.

It's like asking if a 100/200 m sprinter would win a marathon race or vice versa, sure it's ideally the same sport, but they aren't comparable on any level. Conor will be clowned if this happens. Nobody dives on a 49-0 record either as some have eluded to happening...
 
Conor was hovering around +700 and is rapidly improving, really not that big of an underdog. Holly Holm was less favored.

You clearly haven't watched Floyd's younger-days fights.
You just assumed that.
 
Mind games, power, accuracy and movement of Conor can get him a win. But his cardio worries me if the fight goes over 4-5 rounds.

Remember how Royce won UFC 1 even though he was a skinny little boy? He won because of the skill gap between him and everyone else. The skill gap between Floyd and Conor is MUCH MUCH bigger than between Royce and a white belt BJJ fighter. Conor will lose then complain how Floyd is somehow 3x the size of him.
 
Mcgregor isnt the biggest puncher Mayweather has ever faced.

It is one thing to KO guys with 4 oz gloves who dont know how to box.

Its another to do it with boxing gloves

Doesnt matter what conor said. Canelo hit floyd clean a couple times too and didnt even rock him. His left hand wont be as effective in boxing. Everyone has a cross in boxing and every elite boxer can defend the cross. Conor has never seen that level.

Thats just a myth pushed on mma boards. Guys don't get flash ko'd that often in boxing because they actually have chins and you can't get to the top without one.

This is such a mismatch that its a disgraceif anyone sanctions it. Its practically a work.

In the Chasing Tyson 30 for 30, Holyfield claims he knew Douglas was more dangerous than people were giving him credit for.

I wonder what Holyfield would think of Conor v Floyd?
 
Yea it would be a huge upset. Floyd is still the one of the p4p greatest boxers of all time
 
"If Conor lands one shot," it's like people think he is walking in there with MMA gloves.

Doesnt matter.

It will still be boring as fuck. We all lose.

Get him back to MMA.
