Conor vs. a 40 year old counterpuncher on several year layoff who may be faded and or shot....

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...
That's a terrible comparison. All it takes is one punch in boxing/MMA to change the outcome, that variable doesn't exist in a running competition.
 
Literally the only floyd fight anyone would buy. Floyd is a 500k ppv fighter at this point in his career and Conor will change his bum life

You are nuts.. How many PPV do you think Connor would do by himself? How many people do you think would pay $50 to watch only Connor fight. Not many...

Only one persons life is getting changed if this fight happens and I can tell you it's not the guy worth over 500 million
 
He has a punchers chance, I'd estimate around 15%.
Lmao... No he doesn't... Canelo wouldn't have a 15% chance but Connor does... Smh.. Craziness in this boys fan club
 
Floyd will have had tougher pad sessions than anything Conor will bring to the ring for him. Conor's chances of winning this 'fight' are as close to zero as you are ever going to get in a sporting event. Conor will get stopped early and easily, even by Floyds so called 'feather' fists. Anyone who thinks otherwise is beyond clueless.

Some absolute retards on here, it's painful to read at times. But then these are probably the same people who thought Ronda fricking Rousey could beat up Mayeather. So I shouldn't be surprised.

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 but... Buster was a boxer.

You donks just arent getting this, are you??
 
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
Conor will most definitely be the hardest hitter Mayweather will ever have faced, at that reach

Sure, other guys might have hit harder than Conor, but only ever in the same zones Mayweather himself threatens/belongs in

Conor's longer legs + arms means he will threaten with that Canelo-esque power at Mayweather's KICKING zone

This has been the key to many of Conor's fights. It's not just that he has the power, it's the fact that he has that power fully extended, at the end of his punches, while already being longer by default
 
I'm so embarrassed as an mma fan every time I see one these threads.
 
No, he wasn't. The final odds aren't in, and it's not like anyone has asked every single person's opinion on the matter. Conor beating Floyd would go down as the biggest upset in combat sports history, bar none.

Yeah, actually he was.

"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."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Douglas

Douglas was such a huge underdog that almost every casino would not even place odds. And the one that did was 42 to 1.

42 to fucking 1. Conor won't be anywhere even near that if the fight gets signed.

I would be willing to bet good money that compared to elite level boxers (guys like Mosley, Canelo, Maidana etc that Mayweather has fought) Conor's power is nothing special at all.

You're comparing a good MMA boxer to elite level actual boxers. It's like comparing NASCAR to Formula One.

Nope, you failed to grasp the point of my post

I already told you their power is greater, but not at that range. Conor has that power at the end of his punches. I respectfully submit that Mayweather's other opponents have largely only threatened him at his own range.

I'm aware that only one casino put up bets on the fight, don't care. That's only with the oddsmakers, not the entire public that will bother watching the fight.

The odds are driven by the public. The odds are set and then fluctuate according to the money being wagered. Conor will be nowhere near a 42 to 1 underdog by the time the fight takes place.

lol Not everyone bets on fights, though. Not even on ones like this one where the outcome should be fairly obvious.

Not at that range. Lol OK, whatever you say.
 
Buster Douglas wasn't that huge of an upset. Throughout his career and up until that point, Tyson avoided guys with heavy hands. It was obvious to some that that was Tyson's kryptonite.

That does not change the fact that the odds are in fact driven public perception.


“I was the only one who posted odds on that fight,”..."I opened the Buster Douglas/Tyson fight at 27-to-1 and people jumped on Tyson."..."So, eventually it got up to 42-to-1"

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/...r-to-lay-odds-on-historic-fight/#.WNZlL2_yuM8

That is what the public thought of Buster's chances. They drove the odds from 27 - 1 to 42 - 1. Conor's odds will not even come close to approaching that.

It matters because Vegas odds don't determine universal opinion. If Conor wins, it might still be the most surprising upset in history when you consider how everyone views it as a whole. Plus, the fight hasn't even been signed yet; Who knows for certain what the final odds will end up looking like. I'm not as certain that his odds won't reach anywhere near 42-to-1 as you are.

Odds are a quantification of public perception. Do you know of a more accurate gauge?
 
IF, it will be a sparring in match with little action.

That's what I think Mcgregor is counting on. Lasting 12 rounds with one of the greatest boxers ever, is a win for him and a loss for Mayweather. It'd be embarassing for Mayweather.

But yeah zero chance of a dive. (it's alluded by the way)
