It'll be funny to see what they cover that mural with after the fight.
Floyd's head will be missing.
As much as I like to pick on Edmund and wish it was him in that mural, isn't it actually someone else and it's just a bad painting?
Living up to the nameI don't think either are delusional but if I had to choose it would be Edmond's. Conor hitting Floyd is way more likely to happen that Edmond posing with a now dead Ali.
Edmunds isnt that bad really.....Ali and wlad Klitscko
Its good inspiration to have your idols painted on a mural to train in front of
Did Rousey’s striking this past weekend look like the product of five years worth of expert development? Progressing from this question, is Edmond Tarverdyan qualified to be teaching a world-class MMA champion to strike? The mural on the wall in Edmond’s gym shows him standing with the WBC international Muay Thai belt. Tarverdyan (17-2) was supposed to fight an equally experienced Brian Carlos for the belt on September 8th 2007, but something happened. His opponent pulled out, and Edmond instead faced 5-1 Ben Yelle. The replacement was not considered viable or experienced enough to compete for the international title, and so the belt was changed to the USA title.
"Beautiful, Champ, that’s beautiful," her coach, Edmond Tarverdyan, says just above a whisper. Tarverdyan, the head of Glendale Fighting Club, wears cargo pants, his legs and arms shaved, and at 33 his meticulously tapered black beard is beginning to show a few specks of grey. Behind him is a 20-foot mural of Muhammad Ali, standing fists raised, next to a painting of a young Tarverdyan, who once won the WBC Muay Thai welterweight world title. Between the two portraits are the words "Nothing is impossible."

Well, in Edmund's defense (can't believe I'm doing this), that's Vic Darchynian on his mural, not him.
Conor's is worse, because he actually believes in that shit. I wish they video the first time he walks in there after Floyd beats him.
Kavanagh, because there's nothing delusional about Edmund's. It's a portrait of Vic Darchinyan, the greatest Armenian boxer of all time, in a gym owned and run by an Armenian in an Armenian-filled area.
I don't think it's a bad painting. The artist just made an unfortunate aesthetic choice by not including Vic's trademark smirk on his mouth and his 5-o'clock shadow, so it's harder to tell it's him. Maybe the artist wanted it to look a little more dramatic and he was a little more clean-cut in the photo he used.
And not including the WBC and IBF belts in it, but that might've run into copyright problems...
I like the mural, though. It's got a nice classic feeling to it, like those movie posters from the 50s except without as much contrast (that costs extra, and something that big's already gonna set you back.)
In response to those saying that mural is of Vic Darchinyan

It certainly looks a lot more like Edmond than it does Vic Darchinyan
