It's funny to see how much of a sheepish hivemind this place has become
Now you have everyone repeating the same hater talking points
No one has a real opinion of their own. It's just a boring generic repeating Conor hate circle jerk of brainless parrots parroting each other
This thread really is something else. Goodness.
1. You people are the ones claiming Conor is "afraid" of Tony and "ducking" him.
So why wouldn't you give Conor credit for fighting the big bad boogieman Tony - someone who you all claim Conor is afraid of?
"I will claim Conor is afraid of so and so, but then when Conor fights him, I won't give Conor any credit for stepping up in my eyes"
This just shows how Conor haters will refuse to give Conor any credit no matter what happens. This is why I want Conor to just dominate everyone who they campaign around to beat Conor. Make them even angrier.
Watch, then when Conor smokes Tony with complete ease these same haters will start claiming that Tony was never that good etc
2. Conor is a natural FW who MOVED UP and won the belt at a HIGHER weight.
Conor defending the belt at a higher weight against a much larger opponent, IS much different, compared to Mini Mouse defending vs same size scrubs or Jones always defending vs significantly smaller older men.
FACTS: Only 4 other men in history have won 2 belts in 2 weight classes.....ONLY 1 of them ever defended after winning their second belt...and the fighter who did, Randy, was a NATURAL HW who had fought most of his career at HW...so that's nothing really special
Most of Conor's career has been at FW, so Conor defending at LW is Conor defending at a higher weight, which no one else has really done
@NotoriousMillions actually did bring up a great point. Just didn't articulate it as well as he couldve to really get that point across.
Conor is always making history. Haters keep trying their hardest to downplay it and refuse to ever give Conor Any credit
If Conor beats Tony, Conor=top 3 GOAT without question
