You know. I had an epiphany about Conor today while I was driving to work, thinking about the stupidity of the Mayweather fight. I'm going to rant in this random thread. He is going about his career as intelligently as possible. He wants to make as much money as possible by fighting as little as possible. Which is a great idea for him as a person, father and man.
However, this means that he will never be GOAT. He has the potential but he never will be. You need a certain level of fool hardiness and lack of care for yourself that Conor doesn't have. You need to be willing to harm yourself to defend your throne on top of your division for instance. You can't do that when you're more busy chasing money and picking your fights (and I would never say that he chooses easy opponents; he just makes sure that the reward is worth the challenge).
That's alright. He ain't GOAT though and he probably won't ever be.
The end.
