Conor McGregor is 2-2 against taller opponents, and those 2 wins were decisions, interesting

[Tuf_guy]

Floyd is 6'2"

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Another way you could phrase this is that he is undefeated at 145.

Not sure what weight class his other fight was at actually.

 

[VitorReem]

Oh shit bro. Jon jones number 2. Can only handle people half his size. You're onto something here.

lol @ fight findering this hard

Pretty normal for long guys that have a style that rely heavily on their reach. Seems Jones has the same problem. Semmy had the same problem.

 

[sapporo ichiban]

The thing is Conor is supposed to lose this fight and he most likely will lose this fight. He has nothing to lose as far as his reputation which in a way sucks for us because there won't be a good reason for a lot of his fanboys to stop posting nonsense on this site. Damn it. Still will laugh at his delusional fans about watching him get stopped by little Floyd on saturday though.

Conor did his best to be the bigger guy for most of his career.

"He's an average fighter (at best) when fighting taller opponents"

Do you really think you have enough quantitative data to make this assertion?

Lol, qualitative data. It's Trump's America now, nerd.

conor mcgregor is 2-0 against world champion boxers (van heerden, paulie)

RIP floyd and all his flomos

 

[Skarsgard]

A fighter known for using his reach and timing effectively had issues with other fighters could negate that? Shocking.

 

[MCS]

harder to punch upwards, takes power away. those guys are durable as well. but he's boxing the king of manlets so it's aaall downwards.

mcgregor has never lost to a black guy either.

undefeated vs champion boxers, undefeated vs black guys

equals 49-1.

 

[phatron]

19-1 when fighting shorter (or same height) opponents, all 19 wins were finishes

He's an average fighter (at best) when fighting taller opponents

L-Joe Duffy
W-Max Holloway (UD) - Max is taller but Conor has huge reach advantage
L-Nate Diaz
W-Nate Diaz (MD)

Can you please list the heights of Conor's first 13 opponents?

Brilliant analysis......

Floyd has never lost to gingers

 

[UL]

He uses his height/reach as an advantage

Good for him
As long he can make the weight limit
All is good

I do agree with him being overrated and if he didn't run away, he would have had a few more Ls at LW.

when did he run at LW?

 

[Seaside]

Lol Conors win over Nate is a joke.

1 more round or 2 more minutes and Conor would of been done

Keep jerking off with your McGregor fleshlight. McGregor has no pro record and Van Heerden absolutely tooled him and gave him advice after the sparring session

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Good thing Floyd is like 5'6 without high heels..
