Sorry but Conor doesn't have good takedowns or good leg kicks.
Just because he's an MMA fighter, doesn't mean he can shoot in from 3 feet away and take somebody down...I never seen him do this, and if he did do it, I guarantee you that it will be the shittiest Wrestling shot you will ever see.
These are the only takedowns I seen from him
He times the striker, he doesn't shoot in and is very close to striking distance...It might of worked against a manlet with no striking like in this gif...but if he did it against a boxer of Canelo's caliber, he would get KTFO because of how exposed he is.
Again, he times the kick and catches it...A boxer ain't throwing a kick.
Again, halloway ran into the takedown.
So stop acting as if some Irish wanna be bruce lee, will be able to shoot in like Randy and go for an ankle pick.....and as if Canelo has horrible reflexes as an obese James toney
Nate Diaz proved that boxing is Conor's weakness.
If Nate Diaz...a lanky guy, slow, flat footed guy, beat conor in the stand up with only boxing...Imagine what a thick fast moving canelo/ggg will do to Conor.
You really think Conor will be able to takedown a guy with this body type? Athletic/Explosive...more mobile?
If they learned TDD/Checking Kicks, defensive BJJ...Conor is done..Absolutely done.
Now a wrestler, like Khabib,Ferguson, etc..Would probably kill Canelo/GGG..Barboza leg kicks, will probably give them trouble....Gladly for them, Conor isn't strong on their weaknesses.
So yes....Give them a year of TDD/Checking leg kicks(and just overall being aware of kicks),defensive BJJ....and they will finish Conor.
Sorry it's just a bad match up for Conor.
