Let me pre-face with this:
I have done many breakdowns on Conor. Its because Conor objectively has the best boxing skill, footwork, countering, and fight IQ in MMA by leaps and bounds, and its not even close. I can prove it with breakdown after breakdown - and example after example. The footage never lies. Thats the objective truth. Its because I know what im watching, its that I can understand and appreciate Conor's next level skills. Sad others cant due to ignorance or hate - or both. Conor is my favorite - simply because hes the most skilled - and Im all about skill and nothing but skill (Thats also why Cruz is my 2nd favorite. I love Cruz)
Now having said all that, Alvarez is a legit great fighter. And I have always enjoyed watching Alvarez. I like Alvarez.
Why cant people like BOTH Conor and Alvarez?
I have followed Alvarez carreer since even brefore he was in DREAM. Since he was in Bodog. I even saw his fight live vs Nick Thompson where Alvarez was KOd (only time hes been KOd in his career)
Alvarez is a tough mother fucker. If Conor wins, it has nothing to do with "but but got in his head" Alvarez doesnt get intimidated. It will be via Conor's skills and nothing but his skills.
When I do my breakdowns, its not that Alvarez has any flaws per say - its simply that Alvarez has repeated tendencies and habbits that Conor with his skills, tools, and IQ can/will exploit etc.
I still think highly of Alvarez (Conor is simply next level above everyone)
On PAPER, Alvarez IS tied with Aldo for Conor's BEST opponent
If you remember, Conor never took Aldo lightly at heart. Conor often referred to Aldo as the p4p#1
Conor took Aldo very serious, and studied Aldo ruthlessly to the point he knew Aldo better then Aldo knew himself
Alvarez is to Conor what Aldo was to Conor
Believe me when I tell you this...if you follow anyone from team Conor on twitter, YOU KNOW that Conor grew up/came up watching Alvarez.
You KNOW that Conor respects Alvarez like he respected Aldo
Plus Conor will be doing everything in his power to make history
Right now as we speak Conor IS studying and breaking down Alvarez the same way he broke down Aldo
When Conor takes an opponent serious and studies them, then the Aldo fight and Nate rematch are what happens.
Conor has us in for a real treat ! Conor CAN blow Alvarez out....BUT again, Alvarez is a tough mother fucker, so It likely wont be quick IMO. After viewing all the footage and breaking it all down, Im feeling Conor via dominant UD or 4th round TKO. If Alvarez pulls it off it wont be easy for him.
I know everyone is saying Conor has NO chance...AGAIN...
SO if/when Conor wins, NO revisionist history bullshit
Sherdog trolls claim to be fans of Alvarez, so if Conor wins, stick by that, AND SIMPLY give Conor the full credit
As I said, Alvarez is a legit great fighter. If Conor beats Alvarez thats a HUGE fucking GOAT worthy win for Conor
Again, no more excuses and revisionist bullshit in hindsight to discredit Conor
It happens every time Conor fights a big fight
"So and so opponent is amazing. Will.expose Conor. Conor stands no chance"
Then suddenly when Conor blows them out the water with superior skill and fight IQ
"Meh. Insert excuses here. So and so fighter was never that good"
And thats why Conor haters are by far the worst.
But yeah, If you think Alvarez is going to win, FINE...But if/when Conor does win, then give Conor the full credit for beating a fighter you were once praising
ps
I already see shertards/trolls/haters coming up with lame bs and non stop excuses to pre-emptively downplay Conor making GOAT history vs Alvarez
"Bu bu didnt defend derp. Will not be legit derp"
Thats just hater insanity and proves again HOW Conor haters are the worst
Again, lets stop all the bullshit. Enjoy this mega Conor fight. Enjoy Conor attempting history. And GIVE CONOR THE FULL credit if/when he does - FOR BEATING A VERY LEGIT GREAT Alvarez
